We’ll work with you to develop a plan and a budget to create animated videos that help your sales team achieve it’s goals. Once we agree to the scope of the project, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for the first 50% of your production budget.
2). Script
Now that production is underway, it’s time to develop the script for your animated sales video. Our writers share a list of questions with you to learn things like:
- What is the purpose/goal for your video?
- What do you want to communicate in your animation?
- Who is your target audience?
- What problem(s) does your target audience face?
- How does your product/solution solve their problem(s)?
- What do you want viewers to do when they’re done watching your animated sales video?
Our writers use this information to develop the first draft of the script for your animation for sales. You will receive a link to a digital copy of the script that you can review with your sales team. Add your comments directly on the digital document and let us know once everyone has shared their feedback. Video Igniter’s script writers will collaborate with you to revise the script until it’s perfect.
3). Storyboard
Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard is the blueprint for your animation for sales. Every page of the storyboard contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch and description to explain what is happening in that scene.
You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to review with your team. Add your revision requests on each slide you want us to update. Our storyboard artists will update the storyboard accordingly and will continue to collaborate with you until the storyboard is perfect.
4). VoiceOver
After the storyboard is approved, our audio team will look for voiceover artists to use for your animation for sales.
You will receive a selection of voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll hire that person to record the full narration for your sales video. When the full recording is ready, you will get a chance to listen to the narration and request edits, if needed.
5). Soundtrack
You will also receive a selection of soundtracks for your sales animation. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll take care of acquiring the appropriate license(s) so we can legally use the music in your animation for sales.
6). Illustrations
As we wrap up production on the storyboard for your animation, our art director will begin developing concept art for your sales video. The art director will review your style references and brand guidelines. Then, they will develop multiple pieces of concept art, based off of scenes from your storyboard.
Give the concepts a thoughtful review and share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know what you like and dislike about each concept. Then, the art director will work with you revise and polish your favorite visual concept until you love it!
Once the concept art is approved, the art director will oversee a team of illustrators who will create all of the art for your animation for sales. You will get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request edits before we animate your video.
7). Animation
Now that the script, storyboard, voiceover, illustrations and soundtrack are approved, it’s time to animate your sales video! It takes about 1 week to animate each minute of video. Rush delivery is available if you want to speed up the production process.
As soon as the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a copy of the animation for your sales team. Share the animation with members of your sales team and members of your target audience. Collect everyone’s feedback and send it to us. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your animated sales video.

Animation For Sales Budget Saving Tips
Combine these tips to save 10%-25% or more off the cost of making an animation for your sales team:
1). Record The VoiceOver
Most voiceover artists charge about $100-200 for a recording plus an additional $100-$300 for a commercial license (meaning we can use their voiceover for your commercial sales video). If you want to record the voiceover for your animation for sales, we can deduct these voiceover production costs from your animation. Watch 1:31 in this video to see how you can record professional quality voiceover’s at home for free.
2). Create The Script & Storyboard
You can save $500 off the cost of each minute of video we produce for you if you provide the script for your animation for sales. On top of that, you can save an additional $500 off the cost of each minute of video we make for you if you also provide the storyboard for your video.

3). Use Free, Legal Music
Commercial and broadcast licenses for music can add hundreds or thousands of dollars to your video’s production budget. If you want to avoid paying extra licensing costs for music, you can source free, legal music from sites like Incompetech.
4). Start Production ASAP
Rush delivery is available if you want to speed up the production process, but it can add 10%-25% or more to your total production budget. If you want to minimize or avoid paying extra for rush delivery, we recommend you send us a message or schedule a call with our production team ASAP to get a quote for your animated sales video.
