So you’ve just signed on for the great adventure of making an explainer video, or maybe you’re still on the hunt for the right company to work with and you’re wondering, “How does this thing work?” or “How is an explainer video made?”
Don’t worry, that’s totally normal. Just tune into this short little video and we’ll walk you through our animation process and what you can expect as we move forward.
In case you missed it in the video, here’s a quick rundown of the 7 step process:
Concept
After taking the time to understand your company and your goals for the video, and of course some good ol’ fashioned brainstorming, we put together a creative direction and concept.
Script
The foundation of any great video is a creative, engaging story. Once we’ve decided on a direction, we’ll then craft together a script that artfully, and effectively, conveys your message.
Storyboards
After the concept and script are approved by you and your team, we’ll sketch out a storyboard that shows how the script will play out – scene by scene.
Style
Next comes the style. These custom, full-color images will give you a glimpse of what your final video will look like, and depending on your video, may include text, characters, backgrounds, icons and more!
Voiceover
You’ll select a professional from our hand-picked group of male and female voice artists to deliver your very important message.
Animation
With the storyboard and style in place, and the perfect recording of the narration approved, we dive into production. We take your custom assets and illustrations and add motion, matching the storyboard and timing of the voiceover.
Sound Design
The last and final stage is sound design. It’s amazing how the right song can make your video come to life. We’ll search the interwebs for that perfect song for your video and add in sound effects for the finishing touch.
