2D Animated Explainer Videos
We produce fully illustrated, 2D animated explainer videos — custom characters, scenes and motion built from scratch to explain an idea, product or process visually, rather than relying on stock footage or screen recordings.
What Is A 2D Animated Explainer Video?
A 2D animated explainer video is a fully illustrated video — custom-drawn characters, scenes and motion — used to explain an idea, product or process visually, as opposed to live-action footage or a screen-recorded demo. At Code & Motions, this is the illustrated-animation technique itself, distinct from our broader Explainer Videos service, which covers the explainer format generally across different styles.

Why Choose Our 2D Animation Team
Fully Custom Illustration
Characters and scenes are illustrated for your brand, not pulled from a generic template library.
Built To Explain, Not Just Entertain
Every scene is built around making a concept clear, with the story structured around that goal.
End-to-End Production
Script, illustration, animation and sound all come from one team, so nothing gets lost in handoffs.
Brand-Consistent Style
The illustration style is built to match your brand rather than a one-size-fits-all animation look.
Who This Is For
Businesses explaining an abstract or complex idea that's hard to film
Brands wanting a distinctive, illustrated visual style rather than live action
Products or services with no physical product to film
Companies needing a video that works across very different marketing channels
