The short version
- Buyers don't know why 30 seconds of animation takes weeks. Show the stages and they'll understand the price.
- A storyboard frame beside the final frame is a strong post.
- Say what you can make and how long it takes. Clients want a schedule they can trust.
- 3 posts a week works: one finished piece, one process post, one availability or pricing note.
A local business owner who wants a short explainer or an animated logo has no idea how it's made. They look at your Page to decide if you're real, quick and worth the money.
These animation studio social media post ideas answer those worries with pictures. Swap in your projects and your timeline. If you also make still graphics, see graphic designer post ideas, and for live-action cousins, videographer post ideas.
What an animation post needs
- A short clip or a single frame, large enough to see.
- One line on what it was for (an ad, a training video, a logo sting).
- A hint of the process: a sketch, a rough or a color pass.
- Run time and turnaround, in plain numbers.
- A way to ask for a quote.
Shorter clips are easier to watch on a phone with the sound off. See Facebook video for local business for how video sits on a Page.
Finished spot and logo sting posts
A 15-second spot
A 15-second animated spot for [business] in [town]. Idea to final in [number] weeks. Planning one? Message us.

Animated logo
We gave [client]'s logo a 4-second animation for the start of their videos. Small change, big difference.

Explainer for a service
Hard to explain in a paragraph, easy in 45 seconds. We made this explainer for [client] so new customers get how [service] works.
Photo: A key frame from the explainer.
Social loop
A 6-second loop made for [client]'s Page. Simple, bright and looks good with the sound off.
Photo: A mid-loop frame.
Training video
Safety training that people actually watch to the end: a 2-minute animation for [client]'s crew. Ask us what yours could look like.

Process posts: from storyboard to final frame
The process is your price tag explained. Show it and clients stop asking why it isn't cheaper.
Storyboard to screen
Left is a pencil storyboard frame. Right is the final. Every shot in your video starts as a drawing on paper.

The rough pass
This is what an animation looks like before it's done: gray boxes, rough timing and placeholder audio. It's ugly, and it's where the best decisions get made.

A day on the schedule
One day in the studio this week: [number] seconds of animation finished. That's an average day. A 30-second spot takes about [number] weeks.

Revisions explained
Changes are cheap on the storyboard and costly at the end. That's why we ask for your notes early, then lock the plan.

Pricing questions and availability
Quote questions repeat. Answer them in the open, and look at copywriter post ideas if you also need the script written.
What drives the price
The price of an animation depends on run time, style and number of revisions. Send us your idea and we'll give you a number with the schedule.

Open production slots
We have room for [number] new projects starting [month]. If you've been meaning to make that video, now's a good time to ask.

Small business package
A starter package for local shops: a 20-second animated ad and 2 cutdowns for your Page, delivered in [number] weeks.
Photo: A storefront paired with a frame from the ad.
Bring your own script
Have a script and no idea how to show it? Send it over and we'll turn it into a storyboard before you commit to anything.

Style and craft posts
Same scene, 3 styles
One scene drawn 3 ways: flat shapes, hand-drawn and 3D. The right one depends on your business and your budget. Want help choosing?

Character sketches
Meet the character we're designing for [client]'s mascot. 14 sketches later, this is the one with the right kind of smile.

Sound design
Silent animation feels flat. Today we're adding sound: footsteps, a door and a whoosh. It's half the finish.
Photo: A sound timeline on a screen.
Meet the animator
[Name] has animated for [number] years and still draws every storyboard by hand. If your project lands on [name]'s desk, you're in good hands.
