Animated Commercials That Bring Your Brand to Life
Big Fleet Films develops animated commercial content for businesses that want to attract attention and communicate clearly. We turn what you sell into a short film people actually watch, finish, and remember.
Animation built for the business behind it
We work with companies of different sizes and stages. The animation style, length and format change depending on who you are selling to and where the video needs to run.
FLEET, our original animated series
All fifteen episodes of FLEET season one, based on a true story, are the studio’s own production. It is where the character work, pacing and storytelling craft behind every commercial gets built. Play it here, or open the full playlist on YouTube.
Commercials
Short-form vertical pieces built for social feeds. Everything is labeled, so you always know what is a studio piece, what is concept work, and what was made for a paying client.
Commercial production
Every project starts with what the video has to do for your business, then the format follows. Here is what we produce.
Animated commercials
A complete short commercial for your business, built around one clear message and a call to action your customer can follow.
Short-form vertical ads
Ads cut for 9:16 feeds and stories, designed to hold attention in the first two seconds and read clearly with the sound off.
Product and service videos
Animation that shows how a product works or what a service includes, including steps that are hard to film in the real world.
Character-based brand stories
An original character or mascot who carries your brand across a series of videos so people recognize you before they read a word.
Animated explainer videos
Clear, paced explanations for offers that take a minute to understand, built for websites, landing pages and sales conversations.
Campaign cutdowns
Shorter versions of your main commercial, trimmed for different placements so one production carries a whole campaign.
Branded social content
Ongoing animated pieces that keep your feed active between campaigns, produced to a schedule agreed in writing.
What moves the price. Scope, animation style, run time, voiceover, music and the number of delivery formats all affect the final figure. That is why every quote follows a conversation rather than a price list alone.
Pricing
Every package starts at an entry price that covers a clean, simple version of the piece. Each one lists what moves the price up from there, so you can see what more buys before we talk. Your final quote follows the approved creative brief.

How it works
Five stages from first conversation to final files. You approve the direction before production starts, so nothing gets animated twice.
Discovery call
A free call about your business, your customer and what this video needs to accomplish.
Creative brief and quote
We write up the scope, format and deliverables, then send a firm quote based on that brief.
Script and storyboard
Script, storyboard or visual plan, and the look of the piece, agreed before a frame is animated.
Production and review
We animate, then you review at the revision rounds included in your package.
Final delivery
Finished files in the formats agreed in your brief, ready for your website and your feeds.
An independent animated film studio
Big Fleet Films is an independent animated film production studio. We make animated commercials and brand content for businesses, and we make original animated entertainment of our own.
That second half matters to the first. Developing original stories is how a studio builds character design, pacing, timing and voice, and that craft goes straight into commercial work. When you hire us for a thirty-second commercial, you get a team that thinks about it as a film with a job to do.
Faith-based animated storytelling is part of our creative mission and part of what we produce as a studio. Our commercial production services are open to any business, in any industry, whatever its mission.
How we talk about results
Animation can earn attention and make an offer easier to understand. It cannot guarantee sales, views or a particular return. What your commercial does depends on your business, your offer, your audience and how the video is distributed. We will tell you honestly when video is not the thing holding your marketing back.
Where we work
We work out of the Memphis area with businesses across the United States. Production and reviews run remotely, so where you are does not change what we can make.
What clients say
Questions businesses ask first
How much does an animated commercial cost?
Animated social ads start at $250, brand story commercials at $750, campaign packages at $1,500 and monthly partnerships at $1,000 per month. Those are starting prices. Your final quote comes after we agree the creative brief, because length, animation style, voiceover, music and the number of delivery formats all change the figure.
How long does production take?
It depends on the scope. A single short social ad and a multi-format campaign package are very different jobs. We set your timeline in writing in the quote, once we know what is being made, rather than promising a turnaround before we have seen the brief.
Will an animated commercial increase my sales?
We will not promise that. A commercial can win attention and explain your offer clearly, but results depend on your business, your offer, your audience and how the video is distributed. Anyone guaranteeing you sales, viral reach or a specific return on a video is guessing.
Do you write the script, or do we?
We write it. Concept development and scriptwriting are included in the brand story commercial and the campaign package. For a fifteen-second social ad, the message is usually short enough that we build it directly from your creative direction. You approve the script before production starts either way.
Do you run or buy the ads for us?
No. Media buying and advertising placement are not included in our packages. We produce the commercial and deliver the files in the formats you need; you or your media team place them. If placement support is something you want, ask on the discovery call and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
What formats do we receive?
The formats agreed in your brief. Most businesses take a vertical 9:16 cut for social feeds and a landscape 16:9 cut for websites and video platforms. Each package states how many formats are included, and extra versions can be quoted separately.
What do you need from us to start?
Your logo and any brand colors or fonts you use, a clear sense of who you are selling to, and examples of work whose tone you like. If you do not have brand assets yet, say so on the call and we will factor that into the brief.
Do you only work with faith-based organizations?
No. We produce faith-based animated films as part of our own creative slate, and our commercial production is open to any business in any industry.
Do you work with businesses outside Memphis?
Yes. We work with businesses across the United States. Discovery calls, script approvals and reviews all run remotely.
