How To Make Business Animations With Video Igniter

Follow these 7 steps to get your ideas turned into custom designed business animations that will help you achieve your business goals.

1). Contact Us For A Production Quote

The first step in the production process is to get a production quote for your business animations. Our team will work with you to develop a plan and a budget to create animations that help you achieve your business 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.

Ready to get a quote for your business animations? Here are 3 ways you can get a quote:

1). Send us a message.

2). Fill out this digital questionnaire.

3). Schedule a call with our production team.

2). Script

Now that production is underway, our writers will send you a list of questions to help us develop the scripts for your business animations. Popular questions include:

• What is the purpose of these animations?
• Who is your target audience & what problems do they experience?
• How does your product/solution solve their problems?
• What key messages do you want to communicate in your animations?
• What do you want viewers to do when they’re done watching your videos?

Armed with this information, our writers will develop scripts for each animation that show how how your solution solves the problem(s) your target audience experiences. When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to review digital copies of the scripts for your animations. Add your comments directly to the doc and our writers will collaborate with you to polish the scripts until they’re perfect!

3). Storyboard

The next step is to turn the script into a storyboard. A storyboard is like a visual blueprint for your animations. Each page contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch of the scene and a brief description that explains what is happening in each scene. This is how we organize instructions for the illustrators and animators so they understand what they’re supposed to create.

You will receive a link to review a digital copy of your storyboard(s). If there are any parts you want us to revise, add comments directly to each slide. Our storyboard artists will work with you to revise and polish each scene until everything looks great.

4). VoiceOver

After the storyboard is approved, our audio team will source voiceover artists for your business animations. Give the voiceover auditions a listen and let us know which is your favorite. We’ll hire that person to record the full voiceover for your business animations. When the recording is ready, you will get a chance to listen to the whole thing and request edits (if needed).

5). Soundtrack

Music is a great way to set the tone/energy for your message. Even better when it’s used to enhance key moments in your business animations.

Our team will select a handful of songs that will compliment the messages in your business animations. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll take care of acquiring the appropriate licenses so we can legally use the music in your videos.

6). Illustrations

To create all of the art for your business animations, our art director will start by creating concept art. The art director will review your brand guidelines and then create multiple scenes from your storyboard using different visual styles that align with your brand guidelines.

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback about what you like and dislike about each visual concept. The art director will work with you to revise and polish your favorite visual concept until it’s perfect!

After the concept art is approved, we’ll create all of the illustrations for your animations based off the approved visual concept. You get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request edits before we animate your videos.

7). Animation

Now that everything is approved, we can make your business animations! It takes about 1 week to animate each minute of video. If you want to speed up the production process, ask us about the ‘rush delivery‘ option.

When the first draft of your business animations are ready, you will receive a link to download your videos. Give them a detailed review with your internal 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 business animations.

4). Use Free (Legal) Music

Music licensing costs can be cheap if you’re only showing your video internally. On the other hand, if you plan on putting some ad dollars behind your business animations, your music licensing costs will add at least a few hundred dollars to your production budget.

5). Start Production ASAP

The easiest thing you can do to save 10% or more off your production budget is to start production as soon as possible! Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process but it can increase your production budget by 10%-25% or more.
