Why explainer animation in Belgium

Belgium hosts a unique ecosystem of public institutions, universities and non-profits. These organisations share a common challenge: explaining complex subjects to diverse, often multilingual audiences, with controlled budgets.

Explainer animation videos answer precisely this challenge. They make the abstract visible, turn a technical report into a shareable story and create lasting retention. QUIDOS has been producing these films since 2010, from Brussels, for clients ranging from Belgian start-ups to European institutions.

What sets QUIDOS apart: one single artist conceives, animates and delivers. François Grimonprez personally handles the brief, screenplay, storyboard and production. No intermediary, no gap between idea and execution.

How it works

D1
Brief and brainstorm

A 30-minute call to understand your message, target audience and deadline. QUIDOS never starts without having grasped the essentials.

D2
Writing the synopsis

The screenplay is written, structured into acts, with the film's central idea. This is the creative phase — the moment the abstract becomes narrative.

D3
Synopsis presentation

The synopsis is presented to you by the person who wrote it. You validate or redirect. In practice, this goes smoothly.

D4
Artist's workshop

Storyboard drawing, voiceover recording, frame-by-frame animation, editing, sound effects.

D5
Delivery and fine-tuning

Final film presentation with one day of revisions included. HD MP4 + SRT files, all rights transferred. Ready to publish.

Frequently asked questions

What does an animation video cost in Belgium?

QUIDOS rates adapt to the format and institutional budget. A QUIDOS TALK (1 minute) is designed for the standard budgets of NGOs, universities and public bodies. A QUIDOS STORY (2–3 minutes) suits more ambitious projects. Contact us for a personalised quote within 24h: grimonprez@quidos.net. Projects funded by European grants (H2020, Horizon Europe) can benefit from adapted pricing.

How quickly is a QUIDOS delivered?

A QUIDOS TALK is delivered in 5 business days from storyboard approval. A QUIDOS STORY requires 10 business days. These timelines include two rounds of revisions. For urgent needs — imminent conference, campaign launch — an express timeline is available upon request.

Do you work in Dutch and French?

Yes. QUIDOS produces animation videos in English, French and Dutch — the three working languages of Belgium and European institutions. Multilingual versions of the same animation are offered at reduced rates.

Who owns the rights to the delivered video?

You do. All rights are transferred upon delivery, without restriction or royalties. The video belongs entirely to you — web, TV, conference, intranet, social media. No retention clause, no exploitation fees.

Does QUIDOS work with European institutions?

Yes. QUIDOS has been based in Brussels since 2010 and has produced animations for H2020 projects, the European Parliament, and NGO partners of the Commission. Complex institutional communication is a QUIDOS speciality.
