Healthcare Video Production

What is the healthcare video production process like?

 

Kick Off Call + Questionnaire

Kick Off Call + Questionnaire

Production starts with a kickoff call and or a questionnaire (usually both) to understand what you want to communicate in your video. Healthcare videos tend to have a lot of specific scientific information that our team needs to gain a basic understanding of in order to help you create custom animated visuals that accurately show what needs to be shown.

The kickoff call and questionnaire are a starting place to help us get there. Often times we will use this information to create a draft of the script and come back to your team to help us fill in any gaps in our understanding.

Script

Now that we know what we’re supposed to show and convey in your animation, our team will develop a script that covers all your key talking points. If there are any gaps in our scientific understanding of the content or visuals that need to be shown, we will set up time to meet with your team to iron out those details.

When the first draft of your script is ready, we recommend sharing it with members of your target audience to ensure they understand the content you’re presenting. Collect everyone’s feedback and share it with us so we can incorporate your revisions. You get another opportunity to review the script before approving it for production.

Storyboard

Storyboard

After your storyboard is approved, we’ll develop the storyboard for your healthcare video. A storyboard is like a blueprint for your animated video. It informs the illustrators and animators about what they’re supposed to create. Here’s a diagram that shows what each page looks like:

At this stage in production, your goal is to review the visual concepts. The script is pretty much set in place and now we’re focusing on creating clear instructions for the production team so that they understand what level of detail they need to include in the visual and motion design. You will get an opportunity to review the storyboard and suggest revisions before approving the storyboard for production.

Illustrations

Production of healthcare video illustrations

At this stage in the healthcare video production process, our art director will work with you to develop the custom visual style for your animated video. They will start by reviewing your storyboard, brand guidelines and any style references you provided. Then, they’ll develop some custom visual concepts for one of the key scenes in your healthcare video.

Healthcare video production visual concepts

Share your honest feedback with our art director. They’ll work with you to refine your preferred visual concept until you love it.

Then, they will oversee the creation of all of the illustrations for your animated video. You get an opportunity to review all of them and request revisions before approving the art for production.

VoiceOver

We will help you audition voiceover talent for your healthcare video. You will receive multiple auditions to review. Once you’ve selected your favorite, we will oversee the full recording to ensure the recording uses the proper pacing, tone and pronunciation.

Record the voiceover

You will get an opportunity to review the full voiceover recording and request revisions before approving the voiceover for production.

Sound

You will receive several soundtrack options from our team that we feel will enhance the presentation of your animated healthcare video. Some light background music helps to set a professional tone and helps keep viewers focused on the content of your video. After you’ve selected your preferred soundtrack, we will license it for use in your video.

Pick out some music for your healthcare video production

Animation

Now that everything is approved, we can animate! It takes about a week to animate a 60-second 2D healthcare video. When the first draft is ready, give it a detailed review with your team (and ideally, members of your target audience). Collect everyone’s feedback and send it to us so that we can incorporate your revisions and render out the final draft.

Animating your healthcare video

3D Healthcare Video Production

If your healthcare video production includes 3D animation, we recommend reviewing our article on 3D animation so that you can have an understanding of the extra steps involved with producing a 3D animated healthcare video.

Types Of Healthcare Videos

2D Animated Healthcare Videos

Many of the healthcare videos we produce are 2D animations that explain a process, procedure or piece of medical equipment. These types of videos are best for explaining the medical benefits of a process, prescription, procedure or medical device.

2D vs 3D animated healthcare videos

3D Animated Healthcare Videos

When you need to show a process in detail or visualize something smaller than the eye can see, 3D animation is a great way to help people see and understand these parts of the body. 3D animations are also great for demonstrating new medical devices

Live Action Healthcare Videos

Some healthcare videos are live action (filmed) videos. These are best for when you want to show the actual process on a live human. These videos tend to be geared more towards doctors. Patients are usually shown animated versions of procedures because videos of live medical procedures can make patients queasy.

Procedure Demonstrations

Most healthcare videos are produced to help people understand how a procedure is going to work. They can be created using 2D animation, 3D animation or live action film.

Self Care Videos

Healthcare facilities and practitioners create home-care videos so that their patients have a clear visual understanding of how they’re supposed to take care of themselves at home. This can include videos that show how to perform certain stretches and how to treat and replace wound bandages at home.

Promotional Videos

healthcare promotional video production

Healthcare providers, hospitals, medical tech startups and device manufacturers all create animated promotional videos to show what their offering is, how people will benefit from their care and how it works.

Testimonials

Healthcare testimonials are a great way to boost trust and confidence in your medical practice.

Animated Social Media Posts

How To Make Animated Social Media Posts

If you want to create animated social media posts to grow your business, you’re in the right place! Video Igniter’s FAQ about creating animated social media posts answers all of the questions we receive about how to create and use this kind of content to grow your business. In this FAQ, we cover:

1). How to create animated social media posts

2). Why businesses use animated social media posts to grow their business

3). How long does it take to create animated social media posts

4). What does it cost to make animated social media posts

… and more!

animated social media posts

To get things started, let’s take a look at how to create animated video posts for social media.

How to create animated social media posts

Pick a Producer

Pick a Producer

Who is going to be making the content? Either you can make the content or you can hire someone to create it for you.

If you want to create the animated social media posts yourself, check out services like Canva and Powtoon. They have libraries of pre-created content that you can layer together and add text & motion elements before exporting animated video posts for your social media.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to create the animated social media posts yourself, you can hire an animation studio, freelancer or Video Igniter to create them for you. Here are some resources to help you pick the right producer for your project:

Kick Off Call/Questionnaire

Kick off Call/Questionnaire

Once you’ve picked out a producer for your animated social media posts, your producer will schedule a kick off call, send you a questionnaire or both. This is your opportunity to communicate important details like:

What do you want to say?

Who are you trying to reach with your content?

What sort of visual style do you want to use?

What aspect ratio should your producer use? Square? Vertical? Horizontal?

Do you want to include text overlays so that people can understand what the voiceover narrator is saying, even if they don’t have the sound turned on?

Develop The Concept

Develop The Concept

Save time and money on production by writing your own script. Download our free scriptwriting template.

Now that we understand what kind of content you want to create, we will develop a script or an outline for all of the content you want to create. In many cases, this will come in the form of a voiceover script with annotations explaining what sorts of visuals will accompany each part of your script. Sometimes, animated videos won’t have a voiceover; in this case, we will just provide a written description of the visuals.

You will get an opportunity to review all the scripts and visual concepts and share your feedback. We’ll incorporate your revisions and let you review the content again before approving it for production.

Conceptualize the visuals

Next, it’s time to create specific instructions for the production team so that they know what to create. Usually this is called the storyboard phase of production.

Storyboard diagram

Save time and money on production by creating your own storyboard. Download our free storyboard template.

The storyboard includes a rough mockup of the visuals and a description of the motion design. This way we can get everything on paper and run it by you for your feedback before the animators and designers spend time creating your animated social media posts.

Create the illustrations

Create the illustrations

The first time we create an animated social media post, we’ll spend a little extra time creating the concept art. This is where we develop the custom visual style for your animated social media posts.

Our art director will review your branding, style references and storyboard. Then, they’ll select a key scene from the storyboard and design it using one or more original visual styles.

Concept art for animated social media posts

Share your honest feedback with the art director. They will work with you to refine your preferred visual concept until you love it!

After the concept art is approved, we’ll develop custom illustrations for each of your posts and run them by you for review before you approve them for production.

Record the voiceover

Record the voiceover

If your videos include a voiceover, we’ll audition multiple voiceover artists and let you pick your favorite audition. Then, we’ll have the selected voiceover artist record the scripts for all of the animated social media posts that have been approved by your team.

You get to review the full voiceover and request revisions before approving it for production.

Pick out some music

Pick out some music

Music is a great touch to enhance the presentation of your animated social media posts. We’ll select a few options for you to consider. You pick out your favorite and we’ll handle the licensing so that you can legally use the music in your animated social posts.

Animate

Animate

Now that everything is approved, we can start animating your social media posts! We’ll send you each one as we finish the first draft. Review the animations with your team and send us your feedback. We’ll incorporate your edits and send you the final draft(s).

Post

Post

When the animated posts are ready, syndicate your videos across your social media channels.

Repeat

Social media success comes from consistently posting quality content. When you work with an animated video production company to create short social media clips, you’re typically engaging with them to help you consistently post 1-2+ animated posts each week.

Repeat

You can save time and money by producing multiple videos at once. You can develop and approve a bunch of ideas and have our team produce them sequentially so that you always have a few new animations ready to post each week. Or, you can work with our team on an on-demand basis, making requests for specific new pieces of content when you want them.

Why do businesses use animated social media posts to grow their business?

Get People’s Attention

Animated content stands out from all the oceans of live-action video content that pervade the internet and social media apps. By creating your content in animated form, you increase the odds of catching someone’s eye long enough for them to watch your short animated social media post.

Animation has also been shown to hold attention longer than live action content. Animation also helps people remember new information longer. All important things to keep in mind when creating social media content. If you want people to pay attention and remember your content longer, consider making animated versions of your most popular pieces of educational content.

Examples of animated social media posts




 

How long does it take to make animated social media posts?

The initial set up for animated social media posts can take a few days or weeks. During this time, we’re learning what your goals are, understanding who your target audience is, and developing a script, storyboard and concept art to present your messages.

After we’ve figured out the core messages and the visual design, we can very quickly create new posts using your custom branded visual style. Typically, when we make this kind of content, we get into a cadence of producing 1-5 new pieces for your social media channels each week.

How long does it take to make animated social media posts

Most clips under 15 seconds can be created in a few days to a week – but we also know some companies want to produce content quicker than that. That’s why we offer rush delivery animation!

Contact our production team to let us know how quickly you want to be able to produce short animated videos and we’ll develop a custom production pipeline to help you rapidly develop multiple custom animated posts within 12-48 hrs.

What does it cost to create animated posts for social media?

It depends on the quantity and length of the content. Many animation studios won’t work with you if you just want to create one 15-second animation; it’s a lot of work and conversations for just one short animated video. If you do want to make just one piece of short content (under 30 seconds) we can still help you but the cost might be equivalent to creating a slightly longer 20 or 30 second clip.

What does it cost to create animated posts for social media

What works best is to create multiple pieces of animated content for your social media. After all, you’re not planning on just posting one thing on social media and calling it quits, right?

We recommend ordering up 2 or more +10 second animated social media posts per week for the best pricing. Visit this page to access our newest price sheet.

How long should my animated social media posts be?

In many cases, animated social media posts are usually 5-15 seconds, 30 seconds or 60 seconds long. It all depends what your goal is.

How long should my animated social media posts be

If you just want to get someone’s attention, be quick. 15 seconds or less.

If you want to introduce something new, a 30 second explainer video is a good amount of time to show something new and get people interested in learning more.

Otherwise, if your goal is to explain something in depth, you can make your video 60 seconds or longer.

Homepage Video

How to Make A Homepage Video That Helps You Grow Your Business

Do you want to create a homepage video for your website that helps you:

✅  Generate More Leads

✅  Educate Customers

✅  Increase Sales

If so, you’re in the right place! Video Igniter’s guide to animated homepage videos teaches everything you need to know about how to create a high performing marketing video that will help you grow your business.

Animated Homepage Video

In this guide, we cover topics like:

  • What are the benefits of having a video on my homepage?
  • How do I create a video for my homepage?
  • How long does it take to make a homepage video?
  • What does it cost to make a video for my homepage?
  • What do I do after my homepage video is finished?

Let’s dive in! First, let’s take a look at some animated homepage video examples.

Animated Homepage Video Examples



 

What are the benefits of having a video on my homepage?

A properly designed animated marketing video can drive huge business results when you add it to your homepage. Here are some of the benefits you can get from adding a high performing custom animated video to your company’s homepage:

Generate More Leads ✅

Adding an animated video on your homepage is a direct and concise way to communicate what your business does and generate more leads for your business. The video can provide the full pitch for your product or service and show the benefits in 30-90 seconds. At the end of your video, you can display a text box for people to input their email address to learn more or you can present them with an image to click on to take them to buy your product/learn more/download an app, etc.

Generate More Leads with a homepage video

All homepage videos should include a call to action at the end of them – something that you want the viewer to do when they’re done watching your captivating video. This is how you direct people to the next step towards doing business with you. That could mean scheduling a call with a sales person, downloading your app, creating an account, etc.

Add a call to action at the end of your homepage video.

When your video is designed with a compelling narrative that speaks to the problem your target audience experiences, the call to action at the end of your video should be an easy, logical way to tell them how to take the next step towards becoming a customer.

Increase Sales ✅

Increase sales with a video on your homepage

Time and time again, (quality) videos have been shown to increase sales when used they’re added to a landing page or a sales page.

Go search for a product on Amazon right now. You’ll be hard pressed to find one of their ‘best seller’ products that doesn’t include a video along with images and a writeup about the product. That’s because videos are able to show and explain how the product/service works better than text and images alone. When customers get a strong sense of trust and understanding about what your product or service does, they’re much more likely to have the confidence to buy from you.

Increase Time On Site = SEO Boost ✅

Adding a video to your homepage gives visitors an easy way to learn about what your business does. A wall of text is intimidating. An animated explainer video encourages people to click play and stick around for a while. The benefit here is that Google can tell people are staying on your site longer – which they see as a sign that your website is useful. The more useful Google thinks your website is, the better they will rank your website in their search results. Adding an animated video to your homepage is one of the easiest things you can do to encourage your website visitors to stick around longer.

Homepage video increases video seo

Well Educated Customers ✅

Making an educational animated video for your homepage makes it easier for your leads and prospects to understand how your business can help them.

This helps you separate qualified leads from unqualified leads.

People who watch your video(s) and understand how they will benefit from your product or service won’t waste your time. People who are less qualified potential clients will be less likely to reach out and waste your time if it isn’t going to be a good fit for them.

How do I create a video for my homepage?

1). Pick a producer for your animated homepage video

Pick a producer for your animated homepage video

Choosing the producer for your homepage video is one of the most important parts of the animated video production process. Here are some resources to help you pick the right animated video production company to make your homepage video:

2). Kick Off Call / Questionnaire

Kick Off Call / Questionnaire

Now that you’ve picked out a producer for your animated homepage video, it’s time to do a deep dive on your goals and expectations for the project.

Your animation producer will either send you a questionnaire or set up a kick off call to learn more (or both!) The types of information your animation producer wants to know include:

What is your goal for the video?

When people are done watching your video, what do you want them to do?

What do you want to say in the video?

Who is your target audience?

What problem(s) do your customers experience?

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

3). Write the script for your homepage video

After the kick off call/questionnaire, we’ll process the information we received and use it to develop your script. Our team will create the first draft and send it to you to review. Our goal is to develop a narrative that speaks to the unique problem(s) your target audience experiences and then highlight how your product or service can solve this problem for them. At the end of the script, they should be so excited for your solution that they’ll be waiting for your call to action to learn how they can become a customer.

Write the script for your homepage video

Give the script a detailed review at your company. In an ideal world you should share it with members of your target audience and get their feedback as well (or we can help with that). Collect everyone’s notes and send them to us so that we can revise your script. You will get an opportunity to review the script and approve it for production or request another round of revisions.

4). Create the storyboard

Once your script is approved for production, it’s time to create your storyboard.

What is a storyboard you ask? A storyboard is a set of instructions that tell the illustrators and animators what to create.

It includes a mockup of the visuals and a set of directions that explain what illustrations need to be made and how they should move.

Storyboard diagram

Download our free storyboard creation template to create your own storyboard.

When you review the storyboard, focus on the visual storytelling aspects. Does the story and visual presentation of ideas speak to your target audience?

Collect all your revision notes and send them to us to revise. We’ll incorporate your edits and send you an updated draft to review and approve for production.

5). Design the illustrations

Now that your storyboard is approved, we can develop the illustrations for your homepage video. Our art director will start by creating some concept art. This helps us establish the visual style for your homepage video before we spend time creating all of the illustrations. The art director will review your branding guidelines and select a key scene from your storyboard. Then, they’ll illustrate that scene using one or more custom visual styles.

Concept art for a homepage video.

Share your honest feedback with the art director. The art director will work with you to refine your preferred piece of concept art until you love it. Then, the art director will oversee the creation of all of the illustrations for your homepage video.

Illustrating a homepage video.

You get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request revisions before approving the art for production.

6). Record the voiceover

We’re also going to need a voiceover narration to accompany your homepage video. Our team will audition several voiceover artists and send you the recordings to review. Let us know which artist you prefer and then hire them to record the full voiceover.

Record the voiceover

We’ll help guide the VO talent so that they use the proper pronunciation, intonation and pacing when they record your voiceover. You will get to review the full voiceover and request edits before approving the voiceover for production.

7). Pick out some music

We’ll also select a few soundtracks that we feel will enhance the presentation of your animation. You get to have the final say and pick which option you like best. After that, we’ll procure the license so that you can legally use the soundtrack in your homepage video.

Pick out some music for your homepage video

8). Animate your homepage video

It’s finally time to animate! The voiceover and illustrations are approved and we can work our magic.

Animate your homepage video
When the first draft is ready, give your homepage video a detailed review. Ideally, share it with some of your leads and clients to get their feedback. Collect everyone’s notes and send it to us so that we can incorporate your revisions and render out the final draft of your homepage video.

What do I do after my homepage video is complete?

Add the video to your homepage

There are many great video hosting services out there with a variety of different features and benefits for your homepage video. If you’re just looking for something simple and free, YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia are all great options. They even have analytics built in so you can see how long people watch your video.

Upload the final draft of your video to one of these services, copy the embed code and send it to your developer to add to your homepage.

Send the embed code for your homepage video to your developer.

If you use a hosting service like Wistia, you can customize the look and feel of how the video appears on your website. It even gives you the option for people to give you their email address at the end of the video if they want to hear from you. You can also add an image or a link at the end of your video for people to click on to direct them to create an account, download your app or buy your product.

Add a compelling thumbnail!

The thumbnail for your video is the first impression for your video. Without a compelling thumbnail, you won’t get a lot of people clicking play to watch your video. We recommend designing several different thumbnails and testing which one gets people to click play the most often.

Pick a great thumbnail

After you have several months of data and can see which one people click on most often, make that the official default thumbnail and remove the other version that people don’t click on as often.

For a deep dive on how to do this, check out our guide called “How To Improve The Conversion Rate Of Your Video.”

Optimize for Video SEO

Optimizing your video for SEO means that when people search for terms similar to what your company does, your video might appear in search engine results on YouTube, Google, Bing, Instagram, TikTok, etc. While it isn’t possible to guarantee a video will appear in search results, there are some standard practices you can do to increase the odds of this happening. Check out our guide on Video SEO to learn more.

Optimize for Video SEO

As a bonus, adding a video to your website keeps people on your site longer because they’re busy watching your video content. Keeping people on your site longer makes your website seem “useful” in the eyes of Google. This is a good thing. Google wants to recommend useful websites to people – so the longer you can keep people on your site, the better your search rankings will be.

Promote your homepage video!

Once your video goes live, don’t forget to promote it! Send a message to your email lists to invite people to come watch it. Upload copies to your social media channels as well.

Watch your stats and analytics to see how people engage with your video

Video hosting services usually include statistics and analytics to help you see how many people have watched your video & how long they watch your video.

Watch your stats and analytics to see how people engage with your video

Check out this article for a deep dive on how to review and interpret stats for your video.

Optimize and update over time.

One of the great things about animated videos is that you can update and improve them over time.

If you notice a certain % of people stop watching at a specific part of your video, it’s possible to update and improve that section of your video so that in the future, more people keep watching your video until the end.

Live action (non-animated) videos are much more difficult and expensive to retroactively make changes to. You need to get the film crew, actors and set back together to reshoot part of the video. If you want to make revisions to an animation, in most cases, as long as you have all the project files, you don’t need to work with the original animators and illustrators to modify sections of your animated homepage video.

Create more videos to answer your client’s questions.

Your homepage video typically serves one purpose: explaining to your target customer who you are, what you do and most importantly, how you can help your clients with their problems.

But then what?

People who are interested having your company solve their problems are going to want to learn more!

How does this work?
What does it cost?
How long is it going to take?

Each of these questions could (and should) be answered with their own videos.

What are the benefits of animated commercial video ads?

Animated commercial video ads can help you generate a lot of awareness, traffic and sales in a reasonably short amount of time.

Animation bright colorful images help your message stand out in the ocean of ‘live action’ filmed commercials. Additionally, animated visuals helps keep viewers focused on your message longer while improving their comprehension and retenention of the information presented.

Why choose Video Igniter to be your commercial video production company?

commercial video production company

Video Igniter‘s commercial production team will help you develop custom animated eye-candy visuals and a compelling script that speaks directly to your target audience’s specific needs.

In addition to producing your animated promotional video, our team of seasoned video promotion professionals will develop a media plan to get your video in front of the right buyers at the right time on the right platform(s).

On top of this, we will help you produce multiple versions of your animated commercial video that we can test to see which one is most cost-effective for supporting your business objectives. Once we can determine which variation has the highest video conversion rate, we’ll make it the primary video in your campaign. From there, we’ll work with your team to help you profitably scale up your ad spend.

What does making an animated commercial video entail?

What does making an animated commercial video entail?

In most cases, the goal is to create an animated video that is 30 seconds or less which delights viewers, highlight’s your brand’s personality and motivates them to respond to your call to action at the end of your video.

In order to achieve this, we’ll spend time with you to research and test which message(s) and keywords resonate most with your audience.

We use this knowledge to develop your script and identify relevant platforms to reach your audience.

Then, we create your video and several variations to test different messages.

Once they get your approval, we ensure your website is set up for proper media tracking to ensure we can tell which video ads are working and which ones aren’t. Then we start running small scale targeted ad tests to see which videos, messages and platforms are driving results.

From there, we’ll fine tune the targeting and allocate more budget towards the platforms and videos that are delivering the most results.

With is the video production process for commercial ads?

Questionnaire/Phone Call
Questionnaire

Commercial video production begins with a questionnaire or a phone call to learn what the business and communication goals are for your video promotion campaign. We also use this as an opportunity to learn about your target audience and what sort of visual and creative concepts you have in mind for your video. If you don’t have any, that’s ok! We can help where ever you’re starting from.

Audience Research

Our team will spend time researching your target audience to learn more about the kinds problems they experience and how your product/service can help make their lives better. We’ll then propose several keywords and marketing phrases for the commercial video production to center around.

Video Commercial Research

In some cases, we’ll do some market testing of these words before we develop the script. In other cases, we can get great data from Google to see which keywords & messages have a high probability of converting. When this happens, we’ll take our top selections and use them to develop several variations of your animated commercial. Then we’ll test the variations with small ad buys to see which variation(s) are the most effective.

Write the video script for your commercial

Now that we have identified which key message(s) we are going to focus on, we can develop your script around the presentation of that message so that it leads to a compelling call to action at the end of your ad.

Write the video script for your commercial

Depending on the size of your budget and the amount of time we have to produce your animated commercial, we may take some time to do further testing of your script with your target audience to ensure it’s on track.

You will get an opportunity to review the script and do your own independent review with members of your target audience. Send us your feedback and we’ll incorporate your revisions so that you can approve the script for production.

Produce the storyboard for your commercial

Produce the storyboard for your commercial

After your script is approved, we’ll turn it into a storyboard. This acts as a set of instructions for the illustration and animation teams so they know what they’re supposed to create.

Storyboard diagram

When you are reviewing this asset, focus on the ideas for the visual concepts that will bring each part of your script to life. At this point, the script should more or less be locked in. We can still make minor modifications to the script if it helps the visuals flow more effectively.

Record the voiceover for your commercial

Once the storyboard is approved, we will help audition voiceover actors for your commercial. We’ll get a few auditions recorded for each voice that’s used in your animated commercial.

Record the voiceover for your commercial

You get to review all the options and tell us know which is your favorite. Then, we’ll hire your selected voiceover artists to record the full voiceover. You get another opportunity to review the audio track and request revisions before approving the recording(s) for production.

License a commercial soundtrack for your video

Depending on the size of your production budget, we’ll either help you source the production of a custom soundtrack for your animated commercial – or we can help you license an existing soundtrack for online and traditional broadcast media.

Create illustrations for your animated commercial

Create illustrations for your animated commercial

As soon as your storyboard is approved, our commercial art director will begin developing concept art for your animation. You will receive multiple concepts to review.

Commercial video production concept art

Share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know which concept(s) you prefer and what you dislike. You can continue to work with the art director to refine the style of the concept art until you’re thrilled with it.

Once the concept art is approved, we’ll create all of the illustrations for your animated commercial ad. You get an opportunity to review all of the custom illustrations and request revisions before approving the art for production.

Produce your animated commercial

Now that your voiceover and illustrations are approved, we can animate your commercial. The animation phase of commercial video production can take 1-4 weeks for a 30-second spot. 2D animations may only take 1-2 weeks; 3D animated videos require more time to get all the work done.

Producing your commercial video

When we send you the first draft, give it a detailed internal review. Ideally, you should review it with members of your target audience. If needed, we can also help with this.

After the review, send us your revisions and we’ll incorporate them before rendering out the final draft. We’ll also produce several variations of your commercial at this time.

Start your commercial ad campaign

Now that your video ad(s) are ready to go, we can begin your campaign! Campaigns tend to start with small scale tests on different platforms to identify which ones deliver scalable results. After we’ve identified which platforms and variation(s) of your video are most effective, we’ll focus your ad budget on the version(s) that are delivering the best results.

Start your commercial ad campaign

After we’ve identified the winning video(s), we can continue to work with you to gradually scale up your ad buy. As the videos deliver more sales, your company can allocate a larger budget to video promotion, which, in turn, will result in even more sales.

How much does animated commercial video production cost?

There are three different costs associated with commercial video production:

  • Research
  • Commercial Video Production
  • Video Promotion & Campaign Optimization

How much does animated commercial video production cost?

We offer all three commercial video production services and understand that some clients need help with everything while others may just need help with one or two things.

To give you a ballpark, here are some price ranges for each of the three commercial video production costs.

Research: $2,500-$10,000

The first part of the commercial video production budget goes towards researching, identifying and testing which words, messages and platforms are going to be most effective for reaching your target audience with your video campaign.

Video campaign production research

Commercial Video Production: $3,000-$50,000+

Simple, 2D animations can be made for under $5,000. However, one of our goals with animated commercial video production is to create a stellar first impression. This means making gorgeous, original animated eye-candy visuals for people to enjoy. With a budget north of $10,000 we can help you develop more high end visual design using hand drawn frame-by frame animations and 3D animation.

Commercial Video Production

Video Promotion & Campaign Optimization: $3,000-$100,000+/month

For most campaigns, we like to spend the first 3 months doing smaller-scale ad tests to see which variation of your video performs best on different platforms. Once we’ve dialed in the most cost-effective ad-buys, we’ll work with you to profitably scale up your ad spend.

Video Promotion & Campaign Optimization

Other campaigns may only run for a few weeks – these types of campaigns will focus on message and audience testing earlier in the production process to hone in on one or two video variations to run during the condensed promotion period.

How long does it take to make an animated commercial video?

How long does it take to make an animated commercial video?

Most 30 second animated videos can be produced in 2-5 weeks if you already have your script developed. Commercials using advanced animation techniques like 3D animation or frame by frame animation will take more time to produce.

Make A Political Ad

How To Make An Animated Political Ad

If you want to use animation to make a political ad, Video Igniter’s FAQ teaches everything you need to know about making and using animated political ads to educate people about new ballot initiatives, legislation and political issues.

Make a political ad

The Role of Animation In Political Campaigns And Advocacy

First, let’s take a look at the role animation plays in political campaigns and advocacy. How and why is animation used to communicate messages? What benefits does animation bring to political ads that traditional ‘talking head’ videos lack?

Help people understand new bills & legislation

Political issues are hard enough to understand without both sides of the political aisle trying to sway your understanding of a new piece of legislation.  Animation makes it easier for people to understand new topics and information. By creating short animated educational videos that explain new policies, you make it easier for for voters to understand and appreciate both sides of a policy.

Makes it easy to share the message

Animated videos make it easy to share and syndicate your message.  A growing number of states mail out pamphlets that explain what policies and candidates are up for election. The problem with these ballots is:

1). They’re expensive to print and mail

2). They arrive shortly before elections, giving people little time to fully process the information.

Makes it easy to share the political video message

Making animated political ads or political explainer videos and sending them out long before election day gives people time to take in the message, process it and discuss it with other people. By making the message easy to share and getting it out in the world before election day, voters have more time to educate themselves on each topic and form a stronger understanding of what they’re actually voting for.

Makes it easy to remember what an initiative is about

Turning a message into an animated, visual story not only makes it easier for people to understand new information, it also helps them retain the information longer. This is very important if you want educated voters to remember what ballot initiatives are about or what a political candidate stands for. By turning an initiative into a story, it makes it easier for people to retell and discuss the initiative in social situations which makes the message spread further.

Animated political video ads make it easy to remember information

Not a boring talking head video

If you want people to stop watching your video quickly, get a politician to start talking on video. Watching experts talk on screen can get boring quickly. If you add b-roll or add animation to your video, you change up the pacing and give viewers something else to focus on that helps support their learning and understanding.

Overall, this leads to better educated voters.

By helping people understand, remember and communicate what they’ve learned about new political initiatives, campaigns or politicians, you create a better, more informed set of voters to show up on election day.

Examples of animated political videos

YouTube video

This video uses animation to explain the new propositions on California’s 2022 election ballot to help voters understand what they’re voting for or against.

YouTube video

This animated ad explains a new mail in voting system and highlights the benefits of the new system.

How to make an animated political video?

So how do you make a political ad or an educational political video to help you advocate a new position? Here, we break down the production process into 7 steps so that you have an appreciation of what’s involved and how to prepare for each step.

Questionnaire or Phone Call

Production starts with a questionnaire or a phone call with your animation producer. The main things they want to learn are:

1). What do you want to communicate in your video?

2). Who is your target audience?

Write the script for your political ad

How to write a script for a political ad

Now that we know what you want to communicate in your video, our team will develop the first draft of your script. We’ll send it to you to review and go over how the script communicates your key messages. Send us your feedback and we’ll incorporate your revisions before you approve the script for production.

Make the storyboard for your political ad

How to make a storyboard for a political ad.

After the script is approved, we develop the storyboard for your video. The storyboard is like the blueprint for your animated political ad. It tells the illustrator what art to create and it tells the animators how to animate the visuals.

Storyboard diagram

We’ll develop ideas for what visuals to show for each part of your script. The visuals are designed to enhance the presentation of the message to help viewers understand what is being explained and keep their attention focused and engaged. You get an opportunity to review the storyboard and request revisions before approving the storyboard for production.

VoiceOver

Recording a voiceover for a political video ad

Our team will audition several voiceover talents for your political ad’s voiceover narration. We’ll select voices that are calm, and easy to understand. You get to listen to the previews and select your favorite option. We’ll get the full voiceover recorded and you’ll get a chance to review it and request revisions before approving it for production.

Soundtrack

Select a soundtrack that enhances your video

Some light background music can help keep viewers focused on the message you’re presenting. Relying on a voiceover to fill the silence isn’t enough and can be off putting to viewers. We’ll select a few soundtracks that we can license for your animated video. Let us know which one you prefer and which platforms you plan to run your video ad on and we’ll purchase the proper broadcast license for your soundtrack.

Illustration

Our team will design some concept art for your animated political ad. You can supply branding and style references to help inform the visual design. Otherwise, our art director will use standard best practices to evaluate the messaging and content of your animation and use that to develop concept art for your animation

Review concept art for a political ad

Review the concepts and let us know which one(s) you like best. We’ll work with you to refine your preferred visual concept until you love it! Then, we’ll create the remaining illustrations for your political ad and give you an opportunity to review them and request revisions.

Animation

Making a political animated video ad

Now that the voiceover and illustrations are approved, it’s time to animate! It takes about a week to animate a 60 second 2D animated video. When the first draft is ready, give it a detailed review with your constituants and collect everyone’s feedback. Send us your notes so that we can incorporate your revisions and render out the final draft of your animated political ad.

Video SEO

The impact of animation on website traffic and video SEO

Did you know that animated videos can help you increase traffic to your website? In this article, we’ll explain the art of video SEO so that you can boost website traffic, generate more leads and get more sales.

video seo

What is video SEO?

SEO stands for search engine optimization – it’s a series of best practices and technical implementation to help you get your blog posts, images, videos and products to appear at the top of search engine results.

Video SEO is a subset of search engine optimization that focuses on getting your video content to appear at the top of Google’s, YouTube’s & Instagram’s search results. This gets more eyeballs on your content which increases the number of people who discover your business.

What is video SEO?

What are the benefits of video SEO?

Video SEO drives traffic to your site

Posting videos online can help you generate increased awareness for your company, product, or service by driving traffic to your website site using video SEO tactics and implementation.

Let’s say you run a plumbing business that specializes in Japanese toilets. You could create a video titled, “How to unclog a Japanese toilet,” post it on your website and optimize it to increase the odds that it appears at the top of Google’s search results. When people with Japanese toilets have problems with their toilets, they will likely search Google for an answer and come across your video. This is the basic way video SEO works to generate awareness and drive traffic to your website.

Video SEO drives traffic to your site

Video SEO increase awareness

A lot of the time, when people are searching for video answers, they turn to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. By posting your videos on these platforms and optimizing your keywords, title and tags, you increase the odds of your video(s) appearing when people search for videos. People who discover you via these sites are likely to follow or subscribe to your account to continue learning new information from you. As they continue to watch your videos over time, the odds of them clicking to visit your website increases.

Videos increase the amount of time people spend on your site

Adding videos to your website helps keep people on your website longer. When people stay on your site longer, it’s because they’re reading or watching a video. Google sees this as a sign that your website is useful. This increases your website’s ranking and subsequently leads to more website visitors.

Video SEO can help increase sales

As more and more people organically visit your website, more people will visit your sales and landing pages. With properly designed pages and a great sales team, you’ll have more leads coming in each month that your team can close.

Video SEO can help increase sales

 

How does animation help with video SEO?

99% of videos that appear in search results are low quality videos filmed on people’s phones. Animated videos stand out in search rankings because their colorful animated thumbnails attract viewers and increase the odds a person will click play on it.

Animation keeps viewers watching longer than live action content because there’s a constant flow of new animated visuals to follow.

The combination of getting more people to click play on your video and keeping them engaged longer increases your video’s ranking in search engine results… which also gets more people to watch.

How do you optimize animated video for SEO to increase website traffic?

1). Research your video title

What would someone search for if they were going to watch your video? There’s probably a few different phrases people could search for that would bring up your video on YouTube or Google.

Research your video title

In order to get your video to appear in search results as often as possible, you want to figure out which of those phrases people search for most often. Brainstorm a list of all the things people could search for to find your video. Then, use a service like TubeBuddy to type in all of those phrases to see which one gets searched the most often.

Use the winning phrase as the title for your video.

2). Update the file name

For a 🤏 more improvement in your search rankings, be sure to change the file name of your video to match the video title you researched. Update the file name before you upload your video to YouTube or another video hosting service.

3). Decide which platform to upload to

If you want to drive traffic to your website, upload your video to a 3rd party site (like Vimeo or Wistia) and embed the video on your website. This way, if your video SEO is strong enough, your video will appear in search results and refer people to your website.

Otherwise, if your goal is to develop thought leadership and awareness of your company within your industry, add the video to a mainstream site like youTube where it will get discovered more often (but won’t directly take people to your website).

If you don’t use a popular video hosting service like YouTube, Vimeo or Wistia, you may need to do some additional work to ensure the structured data (your video, a video thumbnail, description, transcript, etc) associated with your video is available and properly formatted for search engine bots. Check out this article for more tips on how to make sure your video seo is working right with your video player & hosting service.

4). Include title keywords in your description

Add a description for your video and include keywords from your video’s title within the description to improve the search-ability of your video. You can also use related keywords in your description to expand the # of possible words that can bring up your video in a search engine.

5). Add a transcript

Add a transcript to improve your video's SEO

Adding a transcript to your video makes it much more searchable by Google’s bots.  YouTube’s A.I. can help auto-generate a transcript, but it’s not very accurate, so you should review it before publishing. You can also manually transcribe your video’s script and add it to YouTube or Wistia.

6). Embed the most important video first

If you’re embedding multiple videos on each page, the first video that appears on the page is the one that’s going to get indexed and potentially appear in Google’s search results.

7). Don’t embed the same video on multiple pages

It can confuse search engines if you embed the same video on multiple pages. If you’re trying to get a specific video to appear in Google’s search results, avoid embedding it on multiple pages. Otherwise Google won’t know which page it should prioritize for its search results.

8). Pick a great thumbnail

Having a great thumbnail can make or break your video. Test different thumbnails to see which version gets people to click play the most often. Not sure how to do that? Check out this article to learn how to improve your video conversion rate.

Pick a great thumbnail

9). Put your video near the top of the page

If the video is the most important part of your page, put it at the top where people will see it! Making them scroll down to find your video decreases the odds of someone finding it and watching it. If people click to your site, immediately see the video and start watching it, Google sees this as a sign that ‘this webpage + video are useful,’ and improves your search rankings accordingly.

10). Get people to watch and share your video

Videos need to be watched in order for search engines to recommend them. Not only that, but if people stop watching your video too early before they get into the ‘meat’ of your content, search engines will stop recommending them.

Get people to watch and share your video

Video SEO Final Note

Understand things will change over time.

Google is constantly tweaking their algorithm (multiple times a day). As such, your video’s rankings will continue to change over time as Google refines its algorithm and other people continue to create and publish content similar to yours. By adding content and updating the pages that contain your video content, you can show to Google’s search bots that you are keeping the content accurate and up to date (something their algorithm shows preference for).

How To Translate Your Video Content

How To Translate Your Video Content Into Multiple Languages

Producing your animated video into multiple languages can help you expand your audience and reach online. In this article, we explain how to translate your video content into multiple languages. We break down the costs associated with translating your video content and include tips to help you keep your video translation cost as low as possible.

How To Translate Your Video Content

How do you go about translating video content?

Produce the first video

Unless there’s a specific production deadline or requirement, we recommend producing the video in one language and taking it all the way through the final draft before beginning work on translating the video into additional languages.

Produce the first video

Take your first video through the full production process before creating versions in other languages.

Translate the content of your script

If you have someone on your team that can produce the translation, that’s the quickest and least expensive option to move forward.

If nobody is available to create the translation, we can hire someone to create the translation for us. To ensure the translation preserves the original meaning of your script, we also can hire native speakers to reverse translate new script back into the original language.

Record the voiceover content

Next, we’ll audition voiceover talent and let you pick your preferred voiceover artist(s). Then, we’ll have them record the full voiceover. If you don’t have someone on your staff who can verify the tone, pacing and meaning of the voiceover, we can hire native speakers to help with the review process.

Record the voiceover for your translated video content

Create translated illustrations for your video content

If your animated video includes words or visuals that need to be translated into different languages, our art team will create all of the modified art and run it by your team for approval before we use it in production. Examples include: speech bubbles with text in them, signs and any text that appears on screen.

Create the translated version(s) of your video content

Create translated versions of videos

Now that all the pieces are ready, our team can add the new voiceover and swap in the translated visuals. Depending on the length of the translated voiceover compared to the original voiceover, there may need to be some additional animation revisions to ensure the timing of the animation syncs up to the timing of the new voiceover. If there are any characters whose mouth’s move in sync with the voiceover, we’ll need more time to update the animation so that it syncs up with the voiceover.

How much does it cost to translate animated video content into a different language?

There isn’t a straightforward number to answer this question but we’ll break down the factors that influence what it costs to translate your animated video into additional languages. This way, you can at least get a ballpark figure of what it might cost and what expenses contribute to translation costs. If you want a specific quote to translate your animated video, use this form to get in touch with our production team.

How much does it cost to translate animated video content into a different language?

Translation Costs

Translation costs could be $0 if you have someone on your team that speaks the language your video is being translated into. If we need to hire a translator, it’s usually just a few hundred dollars for a short animated video. If you want to hire native speakers to reverse translate the script and help confirm the accuracy of the translated voiceover recording, add on a few hundred dollars.

Note: Some languages cost more to translate if there aren’t many people offering translation services for that language.

VoiceOver Costs

Non-English voiceovers cost $50-$500/minute depending on how popular the language is. If someone on your team can provide the translated recording, the voiceover recording cost could be $0. Check out 1:31 in this video to learn how you can record your own professional quality voiceover at home or in the office for free! There’s no need to buy any fancy equipment or expensive software.

Illustration Costs

This one depends on how many illustrations and text adjustments need to be created for each translation. In many cases, there may be zero illustration costs.

Modifying illustrations will increase your video translation cost.

Animation Costs

This one is also a wild card. If the new voiceover lines up close to the timing of the original voiceover, it’s possible there could be zero additional animation cost.

However, if there’s a big difference, it may take some additional animation effort on our part to modify the timing of the animation and audio effects to ensure the visual presentation still flows.

Reminder: if your video has characters with mouths that move in sync with the voiceover, additional time will be needed in order make the mouth movements sync up with the new voiceover.

Length

Pretty self explanatory. This is the multiplier effect for all the costs listed above. The longer your video, the more work is needed to create the translated version of your video content.

How to keep animated video translation costs low

How to keep animated video translation costs low

Provide your own translation

If you have someone on your team that can provide a verified translation of your script, this can save several days and hundreds to thousands of dollars off your final production cost.

Provide the voiceover recording

Have a native speaker on your staff? Incentivizing them to record the voiceover in the secondary language(s) may be cost less than hiring a 3rd party voiceover artist.

Keep the voiceover the same length

Whenever possible, we try to get the new voiceover recorded at the same length as the original voiceover. This helps us avoid the need to change the timing of the animation to match the new voiceover.

Minimize the need to create translated visuals

If we can avoid creating extra visuals for the different languages, we can keep your video translation cost even lower.

Avoid character animation with mouth movements

One of the most expensive video content translation costs is updating character’s mouth movements to sync up with the new voiceover. It can absolutely be done but it requires more time and an increased budget to make it happen.

How To Make An Animated NFT With Video Igniter

Do you want to create an animated NFT but aren’t sure where to get started? Video Igniter’s FAQ about animated NFTs has answers to all the questions we’ve received from people asking about how to make animated NFTs, including:

  • How do you make an animated NFT?
  • What does it cost to make an animated NFT?
  • How long does it take to make an animated NFT?
  • …and more!

Animated NFT

But first, to get the ball rolling, some of you might be wondering…

What is an animated NFT?

.. or what is an NFT? “N.F.T.” stands for “Non Fungible Token.” It’s a digital technology that enables you create rarity, scarcity and prove authenticity of digital objects and assets. If you’ve ever heard of Bitcoin or blockchain technology, NFTs leverage this same technology to prove authenticity of digital assets (like money and art).

An NFT can be a digital deed to your house, it could be a digital drivers license, proof that you own a piece of digital art or rights to a song. Therefore, an animated NFT is a piece of animated digital art that you can buy, sell and prove you are the owner of. Even though people may try and copy the image of your NFT, you still have the digital proof that you are the authentic owner of the official version of that NFT.

How do you make an animated NFT?

To create an animated NFT, first, you must create the animation. Then you add the art to the blockchain to register its authenticity.

1). Develop The Concept

Develop the script for your animated NFT.

To get production started, you need to be able to describe in detail what you want the animated NFT to show and what it should look like. If you can provide visual references to help explain what you want to show, it can be a big help! Describe the animation in enough detail that someone would be able to draft some sketches.

2). Create a Storyboard

Create a storyboard for your animated NFT.

Our team will review your notes and develop an animation storyboard for your animated NFT. We’ll expand on your directions and develop specific instructions for the illustration and animation teams. This includes sketches or mockups of the visuals to help ensure we’re on the same page. We want to get your sign off on everything before the illustrators and animators get to work.

We’ll send you the first draft of the storyboard and give you an opportunity to review your storyboard and request revisions before approving it for production.

3). Develop The Art

Develop illustrations for your animated NFT.

Now that the storyboard is approved, our team will develop the initial concept art for your animated NFT. Our art director will review your notes, storyboard and style references. Then, they will oversee the creation of the concept art for your animated NFT.

Give it a detailed review and send us your notes if you’d like us to revise the art. We’ll make the updates and send it back to you to review and approve before we move forward with animation.

After the concept art is approved, we’ll develop the rest of the assets needed to animate your NFT. If you want us to make a 3D animated NFT, we’ll develop 3D models and or an animatic for you to review and approve before we animate.

5). Animate

Animate your NFT.

Once all the art is approved for production, our team will animate your NFT and send it to you to review. Send us your revision requests and we’ll render out the final draft of your animated NFT.

6). Add Your Animation To The Blockchain

Add your animation to the blockchain.

In order to add your animation to a blockchain and turn it into an NFT, follow these steps:

  1. Buy some crypto from a reputable crypto exchange. Most NFTs are minted with ETH or Solana.
  2. Transfer the crypto to your personal crypto wallet.
  3. Sign up for an NFT marketplace like OpenSea or Rarible.
  4. Follow the instructions the NFT marketplace provides to add your animation to the blockchain and turn it into an animated NFT. You will need to connect your personal crypto wallet to the marketplace in order to pay the “minting” or “gas” fees associated with publishing your digital asset on your blockchain of choice.

Where do you find animators to create animated NFTs?

Video Igniter is an animated video production company that creates custom 2D animated videos and 3D animations. We also helped some organizations design custom animated NFTs. You can learn more about us here.

Other places you can find artists for animated NFTs include:

  • Behance
  • Instagram
  • NFT marketplaces like OpenSea and Rarible.

What does it cost to make an animated NFT?

What does it cost to make an animated NFT?

Depends on the level of detail in the design. Some animated NFTs are very simple and can be made in minutes with no artistic or technical ability. Other animated NFTs use advanced animation techniques like frame by frame illustrations or 3D animation. These types of professionally designed animated NFTs can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to produce.

Want to get a quote for your animated NFT? Reach out and let us know what you want to create.

How long does it take to make an animated NFT?

How long does it take to make an animated NFT?

This one also depends on the complexity of the design. Some animated NFTs can be made in just a few hours but you still may need a few days to discuss the project with your animator in order to figure out exactly what they are going to create. Other animated NFTs are more detailed and may take days or weeks to produce.

Still have questions about making an animated NFT?
