3D & 2D animation
If it can’t be filmed, we build it.
3D animation, 2D animation and explainer videos in Pittsburgh, PA
Two Horn’s animation is led by Chelsea Horn, who studied Motion Media at SCAD and builds 3D in Cinema 4D. Because the same team also shoots and makes AI video, animation can stand on its own or blend right into live action.
3D animation
- Product animation that shows how something looks and works from every angle
- Technical and medical visualization, like our Chiari malformation animation
- Whole worlds built from scratch, like 3D Paper World for Consol Energy
- 3D logos and title sequences
2D animation and motion graphics
- Explainer videos that make a product, process or idea easy to follow

How a project runs

- Storyboard or animatic so you see the pacing before the heavy work starts.
- Design and animation, with a review round at each stage.
- Sound, music and voiceover, then every format you need.

Questions
Do I need 2D or 3D animation?
2D is usually quicker and works well for explainers, social content and graphics packages. 3D suits products, machines, places and anything that needs depth or realism. We recommend one based on the story and the budget.
What does an explainer video cost in Pittsburgh?
It depends on length and how much has to be designed and built from scratch. We quote each project after a short call. Share your budget range and we’ll show you what fits.
Can you animate our product from CAD files or photos?
Often, yes. We build 3D products and technical visualizations in Cinema 4D, and can work from the files or references you have.
Can you mix animation with live action or AI?
Yes. The same team shoots, animates and makes AI video, so we can combine all three in one piece: graphics on footage, 3D products in real scenes, or AI worlds with animated titles.
Do you animate our existing brand?
Yes. We build from your logo, colors and fonts, and can hand over a graphics package your team can keep using.
