How to use Video Igniter’s Animated Video Creator?

1. Make Contact ✅

Reach out to us to get a quote for your animated video project or .

2. Project Kickoff

To get your project started, we’ll have a kick off call and or send you a questionnaire to help us learn about your project and goals. We want to learn things like:

✅ What do you want to communicate in your video?

✅ Who is the target audience for your video?

✅ What do you want to accomplish with your video?

✅ What visual style do you want to use for your video?

3. Script

Now that we understand what you want to accomplish and communicate with your animated video, our team will develop the script for your video. When the first draft is ready, you will receive a copy to review so that you can share your feedback. Our script creator will review your notes and integrate your revisions. Then, you will get another opportunity to review the script and approve it for production.

Need more edits? There’s no need to worry about going over budget. Video Igniter’s standard rates include unlimited revisions – meaning we will continue to revise each piece of your video (script, storyboard, voiceover, soundtrack options, illustrations & animation) until you mark it as approved.

4. Storyboard

Next, we will turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard is the blueprint for your animated video. It tells our animated video creators what to make for each part of your video.

You will be presented with an early draft of the storyboard. Give it a detailed review and let us know what revisions you want us to make. After we incorporate your edits, you will receive the updated storyboard to review and approve.

5. VoiceOver

You will receive multiple voiceover auditions for your video. Give them a listen and let us know which option(s) you prefer. We will hire the selected voiceover artist to record the full voiceover for your animated video. Then, you will get an opportunity to review the full voiceover and request revisions before you approve the recording for production.

6. Soundtrack

You will also receive several soundtracks to preview for your video. Our team will select several soundtracks that can be used to enhance the presentation of key moments in your video. After you select your preferred audio track(s) our team will purchase the broadcast license for that music so that we can legally use the music in your animated video.

7. Illustrations

Video Igniter’s art director will review your branding and storyboard to develop custom concept art for your animated video. Give the concepts a review and let us know which visual concept you like best for your video. You can also collaborate with our art director to refine the visual concept until all the details are dialed in.

After you approve the visual concept for your video, our team of illustrators will create all of the custom art for your animated video. Give the illustrations a detailed review and let us know what changes you want us to make. We’ll integrate all of your revisions and let you review the art again to make sure everything looks great before we create your animated video.

8. Animation

As soon as your storyboard, illustrations, and voiceover are approved, Video Igniter’s animated video creator team starts animating your video. You will receive the first draft of your animated video as soon as it’s ready to review. Give it a detailed review with your internal team and members of your target audience. Collect everyone’s feedback and share it with us. We will incorporate your revisions and then render out the final draft of your animation.

How can I save money when using Video Igniter’s Animated Video Creator?

Looking for ways to make animation more affordable? Here are a few tips to help you save over $1,000 off of your production budget:

1). Write the script for your animated video. Instead of hiring your animated video creator to write your script for you, download our free script writing template and write the script yourself. It can save you over $500 off your production budget and we can still review your script to make sure it’s ready for production.

2). Create the storyboard for your animated video. You can hire our animated video creator to make your storyboard for you, or you can save over $500 by downloading our storyboard template and creating the storyboard yourself. Don’t worry, you don’t need any artistic ability to create a storyboard.

3). Use free, legal music in your animated video. It typically costs $50-$400 to license most stock soundtracks so that you can legally use them in your video. You can forego this production cost by using free music from Facebook’s sound collection or Incompetech.

4). Consider using stock assets. Instead of hiring your animated video creator to make your video 100% from scratch, ask them if there are ways they can potentially reduce your production budget by using pre-created assets like icons, clip art and 3D models.

5). Record the voiceover for your animated video. Bet you didn’t know that it’s possible to record professional quality voiceovers for free, without having to pay for expensive equipment or fancy software. Check out 1:31 in this video to learn how you can save $100-$300 by recording your own voiceover at home.

How to find the right animated video creator for my project?

If you’re exploring the internet for other animated video creators (freelance animators & traditional animation studios), here are some things to keep in mind when evaluating your options:

1). Review their portfolio. Check to see if they have 2D or 3D videos that are similar to the level of quality you expect for your video. It isn’t necessary for them to have an exact visual match for the production style you want; just gauge the overall quality of their work.

It’s also important to review the story-telling capabilities of these videos; pretty moving pictures are useless if they aren’t good at conveying the key message(s) to the video’s target audience.

2). Get a quote. Contact the animated video creator to see how much they charge to make a video like the one you want. If needed, negotiate production terms to see if you can get a more favorable rate.

3). Check on the production timeline. Ask how long it typically takes to create a video like the one you want.

4). Check for testimonials and don’t hesitate to request references – it’s the best way to verify that the animated video creator is able to create the kinds of content their clients desire.

5). Ask how many revisions are included. Some animated video creators only include 1-2 rounds of revisions in the production budget and charge extra if you request additional revisions. Video Igniter offers unlimited revisions for most projects so that your project won’t go over budget.
