We start where you are

Whether you have a script, storyboard or just the idea for an animated video, our team can pick up production wherever you are in the production process. We can help you turn your idea into a script and then a storyboard – or we can take your storyboard and immediately dive into production.

How to use Video Igniter’s Animation Maker Service to Create Custom Animated Videos

Here’s a brief overview of the production process so that you understand what to expect when you use Video Igniter’s animation maker to create your custom animated video:

Animation Maker Kickoff Call / Questionnaire

Production starts with a kickoff call and or a questionnaire to help us learn:

✅  Who the target audience is for your animation?

✅  What do you want to convey in your animation?

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

Script

Now that we understand what you want to convey in your video, our animation maker’s script writing team will develop the script for your video. You will get an opportunity to review the script and request revisions before approving the script for production.

Storyboard

Next, our animation maker’s storyboard team will turn your script into a storyboard. A storyboard is like a blueprint for your video. It tells the illustrators and animators what to create for each sentence of your script. You will get an opportunity to review the storyboard and request edits before approving the storyboard for production.

VoiceOver

You will receive a notification from our animation maker with several voiceover auditions. Give them a listen and pick your favorite voice. We’ll then hire that voiceover artist to record the full audio for your animation. You will get an opportunity to review the complete voiceover and request edits before approving it for production.

Soundtrack

You will also receive several soundtrack options from our animation maker. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. Then, we’ll purchase the broadcast rights for that song so that we can legally use it in your animation.

Illustrations

Our animation maker will create several pieces of concept art for your animation.

After you review the concepts, let us know which concept you prefer. We can also work with you to refine your preferred visual concept until the details are perfectly dialed in.  Then, we’ll make all of the illustrations for your animation. You get an opportunity to review all the art and request revisions before approving the art for production.

Animation

Now that everything has been approved, our animation makers can get started creating your video. We’ll send you the first draft as soon as it’s ready to review. Preview the video with your internal team (and, ideally, members of your target audience). Collect everyone’s feedback and send it to us to review. We’ll incorporate your revisions and render out the final draft for you to use.

What does it cost to use Video Igniter’s Animation Maker Service?

Video Igniter charges based off the length of the animation we make for you and the level of detail in your animation. To see our rates for 2D animation projects, you can request access to our current price sheet here. 3D animated videos require a custom quote.

How long does it take to use Video Igniter’s Animation Maker Service?

Using Video Igniter’s Animation Maker Production Service can enable you to create a 60 second 2D animated video in about 3-5 weeks. 3D animated videos can take 2-4x more time to produce. If you need to speed up production, we offer rush delivery animation. If you’re making a video longer than 60 seconds, contact us with details about your project and we’ll help you calculate the production timeline for your video.

How can I save money using Video Igniter’s Animation Maker Service?

Using these 5 tips, you can save over $1,000 off your animation’s production budget:

1). Make the script for your animation

Instead of hiring Video Igniter to make the script for your animation, you can download our free script writing template and write it yourself! Save $500 off your production budget for each minute of animation you want us to make.

2). Make the storyboard for your animation

You can save another $500+ off your production budget by making the storyboard for your animation. Download our free storyboard creation template. It includes a guide that explains how to create a storyboard that our production team will know how to work with. Don’t worry about making your storyboard pretty – no artistic experience required; we just need you to document your ideas and we’ll be in charge of making them look great!

3). Use free (legal) music for your animation

Facebook’s sound collection offers a wide library of free music that you can use in your video (if you plan on posting your video to Instagram or Facebook). Incompetech is another great site for finding royalty free music that you can legally use in your videos – no matter where you plan to publish them. Just be sure to credit the artist if you plan on using their music in your video for free.

4). Record the voiceover for your animation

Did you know you can record professional quality voiceovers at home for free – without having to buy any expensive equipment or fancy software!? Check out 1:31 in this video to learn how you can record your own voiceovers for free.

5). Use stock assets for your animation

Video Igniter’s animation maker production service prides itself on creating 100% custom animated videos. However, if you want to lower your production budget, we can explore the possibility of using stock assets like clip art, stock photos/videos, icons, fonts & 3D models to help shave a little money off of your video’s production budget.
