GHD STUDIO
Custom animated music video production for artists, bands and record labels. We develop your concept, design the visuals and animate the finished video around your track — from graphic motion to illustrated scenes.
A COMPLETE VIDEO FOR YOUR RELEASE
GHD Studio turns a song into a finished animated video for release. We can develop an original concept, animate supplied cover art or combine graphics, illustration and footage in one visual direction.
The service is for independent artists, bands, labels and A&R or management teams who need a production partner. You approve the direction, review the animation and receive the final master for the agreed release format.

INDEPENDENT STUDIO / MUSIC SPECIALISTS
Founded in 2012, GHD Studio creates music videos, lyric animation and release visuals for independent artists, bands, labels and management teams.
Our wider studio portfolio includes work for artists and labels including Armada Music, Warner Records, Morgan Page and Kiesza. The projects on this page link directly to their official releases on Armada Music TV.
Direct contact with the people producing your video. Early visual approval. Your unreleased music stays confidential until your release.
WHAT WE CAN MAKE
The production method follows your brief. A graphic video, illustrated character piece and mixed-media film need different amounts of design and animation.
Illustrated scenes, characters and environments shaped around the song. We agree the number of scenes and level of movement before production.
Graphic shapes, textures, transitions and camera movement timed to changes in the track. A focused option for a clear visual concept.
Words and titles animated to the vocal or rhythm. For a lyric-led release, explore our dedicated lyric video production service.
Combine illustration, photography, supplied footage and graphic elements within one consistent visual direction.
Bring layers, textures, lighting and effects together so the separate elements feel like one finished scene.
Develop album or single artwork into moving scenes while keeping the colours, imagery and identity of the release recognisable.

A REAL STARTING POINT
Projects start at $500, with a second production level from $1,000. These are starting budgets: the final quote depends on song length, original artwork, scene count and animation complexity.
FOCUSED VISUAL DIRECTION
FROM $500USD
A focused motion-graphics or artwork-based approach for a release with a clear visual direction. We build the scope around the track and available assets.
MORE INVOLVED DESIGN & ANIMATION
FROM $1,000USD
A starting point for a more developed visual concept, additional scenes or original illustrated elements. Complex character or frame-by-frame work is quoted to its scope.
Source project files are not included. Extra versions, additional revisions and changes to an approved concept are discussed separately before any extra work is agreed.
FROM BRIEF TO FINAL MASTER
You approve the direction before the full video is built. We agree the production schedule around the scope, feedback and your release date.
SEND YOUR TRACK & RELEASE DATESend the track, release date, artwork and references. We confirm the production approach, starting budget, deliverables and review schedule in the quote.
Review the visual direction and early design. For scene-led work, agree the sequence or scene plan before we move into full animation.
We build movement, transitions and pacing around the track. You review the work at agreed stages and send consolidated feedback for the two included rounds.
After approval, receive the 1080p final video and any extra versions included in your quote. Working source files are not part of the standard delivery.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your quote sets out the creative scope and production milestones. Share a fixed release date early so we can check feasibility before you commit.
The standard final resolution. We confirm the aspect ratio and export details with your brief.
Consolidated feedback at agreed review points keeps changes clear and the project moving.
Design, scene count and animation method determine the schedule. Concept, review and final delivery dates are agreed before production.
Social cutdowns, vertical versions or Canvas loops can be quoted separately. Source files are not included.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU ORDER
Essential Animation projects start at $500 USD. Custom Animation starts at $1,000 USD. The final price depends on the song length, number of scenes, artwork and animation complexity. Both levels include two rounds of revisions and a 1080p final video; source files are not included.
The $500 starting level suits a focused motion-graphics or artwork-based scope. The $1,000 starting level allows for a more involved concept, scene plan or original illustrated elements. These are starting points rather than a fixed amount of animation; we confirm the exact scope in your quote.
There is no single turnaround for every project. A focused graphic treatment and a character-led film require different amounts of work. Send your track, references and release date; we agree concept approval, review and final delivery dates before production starts.
We work with 2D animation, illustrated characters, motion graphics, kinetic typography, artwork animation, mixed media and compositing. We choose the approach with you and scope more detailed character or frame-by-frame animation individually.
No. A track, a release date and a few visual references are enough to start the discussion. We develop the direction with you and agree the design or scene plan before full animation.
Yes. Supplied artwork can become the basis of a full music video. Send the highest-quality assets you have and tell us which elements must stay consistent with the artist’s identity.
Two rounds of revisions are included. We agree the review points and ask for consolidated feedback in each round. Extra rounds or a change to an approved concept are discussed separately.
You receive the approved final video in 1080p, with the aspect ratio and export details confirmed in your quote. Working source project files are not included. Any additional versions are listed separately in the scope.
Yes. Tell us which platforms and formats you need when requesting a quote. These versions can be planned with the main animation and priced as additional deliverables.
An animated music video develops scenes, imagery or a visual narrative across the track. A lyric video makes the sung words part of the viewing experience. A visualizer usually uses a more focused repeating visual treatment. The formats can share artwork, but their production scope differs.
Independent musicians, bands, record labels, A&R managers and artist management teams. We work across electronic music, pop, rock, metal, rap, country and other styles, shaping the visuals around each release.
Yes. We treat unreleased music and project materials as confidential and do not publish the work before your release without your approval.
