Tik Tik! Animation Company
by Stephon Green
As “Tik Tik Motion” we’re an animation company which produce various kinds of animation. we used to work together physically but at corona virus pandemic we decided to work in remote form which increases our team members and made an international gathering for artists.
now we are a team from most parts of the world!
What is an "animation company"?
Make an animated video which can tell your story good, is hard and usually can’t be done by 1 person. it needs a team to do a long process which at least need these profession:
- Script Writer
- Story boarder
- Animator
- Composite and Mix
as you can see, the simplest animated video needs 4 people to work on. maybe you say “we can even make animations online just by ourselves”. that’s right! but here I discussed more about making free motion graphics or animations.
Making a short and standard animated video cost lots of time even with a good team (you should not even think about making an animated video just with one person!). so it needs to be done by a large group of creative artists which can be called an “animation company”.
Process of making animation
At first you should mention which kind of animation do you want to produce? 2d, 3d, whiteboard, frame by frame, explainer or …? all of these types of animation have a unique producing process but overall process is the same. here I’ll list them just in steps:
- Discovery and idea
- Script writing
- Storyboarding
- Story Reel
- Concepts and Designs
- Rough step
- Animate and Voice over
- Render and Composite
- Mix and SFX
- Final render and Publish
each of these steps needs at least an artist with unique profession! just have a look at “animation behind the scene” videos, so you can understand better why a team needs to make a good animated video.
Most frequently animation software
There are lots of programs to make an animated video but their combination is more important! for example our team usually use these programs:
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Moho Anime Studio
- Autodesk Maya
- Cinema 4D
- Autodesk 3Ds Max
- TV paint
- Adobe Animate
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Photoshop

Tik Tik luck!
