#3They don't necessarily have to come from a company. We hired a freelance animator to create ours which can be seen on Kuhcoon.com.

Luckily I am personal friends with the animator so we got a good deal, but from research I've done these animations typically cost around $300-$500 for every 15 seconds.

You can see examples of videos our team has done along those lines over at http://whatnowexactly.com/
And to answer the style question - there are probably 10 good companies in the U.S. that do these sorts of videos and we all know one another ;)
