The City of Eindhoven is focusing on clear, visual
communication using animated videos from IDS.
For years, we’ve been helping the City of Eindhoven communicate visually—both externally with residents and internally with colleagues—on a wide range of topics. Often, this involves complex information that’s presented much more clearly and persuasively through the powerful combination of visuals and sound. Because let’s face it: reading a long block of text like this… …is something no one wants to do!
Animation Examples
Why IDS?
Three main reasons to partner with IDS Animation Studio.
Accessibility
With understandable language, clear images, a voice-over and subtitles, the message reaches a wide audience. We consider accessibility in its broadest sense.
Experience with municipalities
We have years of experience working with municipalities. So we know what’s required when delivering the final product. This allows us to get into the flow of a project more quickly, and we have experience working with multiple stakeholders.
Critical Thinkers
We don’t just create beautiful animations… we also provide critical input and honest advice on the content, and we always keep the animation video’s objectives in mind.

FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions:
Well, well! You don’t beat around the bush. We like that…
If you’re looking for rock-solid storytelling, sleek designs, dynamic animations, and want to work with a team of professionals who love what they do, then look no further!
With more than 300 videos under our belt—and clients such as Rabobank, Schiphol, Fedde LeGrand, Samsung, AWVN, the Dutch government, and many other big and small names—customer satisfaction remains our top priority. But hey! You don’t have to take our word for it—check out what our clients have to say about our work above.
We create animated content that boosts your communication and marketing efforts in both the short and long term. Want to see for yourself? Check out some of our best case studies.
We base our prices on two factors: the length of the animated video and the complexity of the project.
That’s why we’d like you to tell us a little about your project first. Then our creative team can properly evaluate your project and provide you with a suitable quote.
We’ve done a lot of research on market prices and where we stand compared to the competition. We believe we offer the very best value for your money. Our prices are generally lower than those of other animation agencies, and the quality of our work is higher than that of most of our competitors. Be sure to check out our portfolio and let the work speak for itself.
What you can count on from us is a seasoned creative team that always delivers high-quality, custom work. So no templates, no “just pick a character from our database,” and no standard animation packages.
Please contact us for a price estimate. Tell us a little about your project, send us a relevant animation example (whether or not it’s from our portfolio), and, if applicable, your available budget. We’ll work with you to find the best solution, and you’ll receive a price estimate in your inbox within one business day.
Of course, that depends on a few factors: how many revisions there will be, how quickly we can make changes (sometimes it has to go through a lot of people internally before we get feedback), and the scope of the project. On average, a one-minute (2D) animated video takes about 4 to 6 weeks to complete.
A fantastic cherry on top that we’re happy to offer all our clients—and what sets us apart from other studios—is that at IDS, you always receive all the designs we create for your animated video free of charge. You can use them however you like: for print materials, newsletters, your website—you name it.
To illustrate this, take a look at what we’ve developed for AG5 in recent years, in addition to several great animated videos.
Whether you already have a complete script or haven’t put a single word on paper yet, we’ll work with you every step of the way. With us, you always have a say in every step of the process, including the concept and script phases. Our copywriters will help you strike the right chord in your story. We can certainly conjure up a powerful piece of storytelling, but ultimately, you have to be happy with it, and of course, your target audience needs to feel engaged as well.
Together, we’re setting out on a journey toward a beautiful animated story that will keep you entertained for years to come.
In short: we develop the script, illustrations, animations, and audio. For a detailed explanation of our process and your role in it, check out this page.
Depending on your goals, you can, of course, post the video online on your website, on your YouTube or Vimeo channel, and on your social media channels. And our animated videos are, of course, perfect for use as TV commercials. You might also want to consider any trade shows where your company will be exhibiting. You can also enhance your content—such as newsletters and blogs—with animated videos.
We can advise and assist you with the optimal placement and distribution of your animated videos.
On average, an online animated video that explains a product or service shouldn’t last more than 1 minute. This is a good rule of thumb and has to do with your target audience’s online attention span when it comes to these types of videos. The other major advantage of this length is that it forces you to get to the heart of your story in about 130 words.
So always leave out unnecessary information—that way, you’ll make sure the message comes across much more powerfully. Every second counts!
Absolutely. No problem. “¡Of course!” “But of course!”
We work with many native speakers, both for script translations for voice-overs and for subtitles. We also have many contacts among native voice-over professionals. We tailor the project entirely to your needs and objectives.
