How to make a 3D video with Video Igniter?

Video Igniter will guide you through these 8 steps to turn your idea into a custom 3D animated video:

1). Get A Quote

Before you commit to a specific producer to make your 3D video, Video Igniter will work with you to develop a production budget and timeline for your project. We’ll spend some time learning about what you want to show and communicate in your video. Then we’ll share budget and style examples for you to review.

Once we agree to the scope and timeline for the project, we’ll send you a production agreement and an invoice for 50% of your production budget. If you decide to hire Video Igniter to make your 3D video, we’ll begin making your animation as soon as we receive your production deposit and the signed production agreement.

2). Script

Now that production is officially underway, our writing team will make the script for your 3D video. You will receive a digital copy of the script to review with your team. Have everyone add their comments directly to the digital document and then send your notes to us. We’ll integrate your revisions and share the 2nd draft of the script with you to review and approve.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. When we make your 3D video, the storyboard acts like the blueprint for the project. It contains instructions that tell the illustrators and animators what to create and how to make things move for every part of your 3D video.

Each page of the storyboard contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch or mockup of the scene and a list of instructions to explain what is happening in the scene.

You will receive a link to a digital copy of the storyboard for your 3D video. Share it with your team so everyone can add their feedback directly on the storyboard. Once all the feedback is in, our storyboard artists will update the doc and share the 2nd draft of the storyboard with you to review and approve.

If additional edits are needed, our storyboard artists will continue to work with you to update the storyboard until you love every scene.

4). VoiceOver

After the storyboard is approved, 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 3D video. You will get an opportunity to listen to the recording and request edits, if needed.

5). Soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtracks to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll acquire the appropriate licenses so we can legally use the music in your 3D video.

6). Concept Art

Once the storyboard gets the sign off from your team, Video Igniter’s art director will begin developing concept art for your 3D animation. You will receive multiple visual concepts to review. Share your honest feedback with the art director; let them know what you like and dislike about each concept. The art director will work with you to revise and refine your favorite visual concept until it’s perfect.

7). 3D Modeling

Now that the concept art is approved, it’s time to make 3D models for every scene, object and character that’s featured in your 3D video. At first, the models will start out as black and white models like this:

At this stage, the goal is to focus on the shape and form factor for each model. After the shape of the models gets your sign off, Video Igniter will add color, shading and textures to your models. You will get an opportunity to review all of the colorized models before we make your 3D video.

8). Animation

It’s finally animation time! Our 3D modelers will organize the models to lay out each 3D scene in your video. Then, the animators will work their magic to bring everything to life! It takes about 2-3 weeks to make each minute of 3D video. Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process for an upcoming deadline.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a link to download a copy of your 3D video. Share the 3D video with your team and members of your target audience. Collect everyone’s feedback and send it our way. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your 3D video.

How Much Does It Cost To Make A 3D Video?

There’s a wide range of possible answers to this question. Let’s try to put this into perspective.

If you were to ask: “How much does it cost to make a 3D PIXAR quality video?,” the answer would be: somewhere around $1,000,000 for each minute of 3D video.

Luckily, independent studios like Video Igniter are much more affordable to work with. Most 3D videos cost between $5,000-$25,000 to make each minute of content.

How Long Does It Take To Make A 3D Video?

A 60-second 3D video takes about 8-12 weeks to make. Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process.

Schedule a call with our production team to discuss the production timeline to make your 3D video.

How To Save Money When You Make A 3D Video?

Combine these tips to save $1,000 or more off the cost of making your 3D video:

1). Write The Script

When we make your 3D video, you can save $500 off the price of each minute of content we create for you if you write the script for your project. Download our script writing template for help writing your script.

2). Use Free, Legal Music

Music licensing costs can add hundreds or thousands of dollars to your production budget. If you have access to free music we can legally use in your video, send it our way and we’ll deduct music licensing costs from your 3D video production budget.

3). Create The Storyboard

You can save an additional $500 off the price of each minute of 3D video we create for you if you make the storyboard for your animation. Download our storyboard template and review the included storyboard creation guide for tips to help you get started. No artistic ability needed.

4). Record The VoiceOver

If you record the voiceover for your animation, we’ll deduct voiceover recording and licensing costs from your production budget.

5). Start Production ASAP

Rush delivery is available if you need to speed up the production process to meet your deadline – but it can add 10%-25% or more to your production budget. If you want to minimize or avoid paying extra for rush delivery, send us a message or schedule a call with our team to start discussing your 3D video as soon as possible.

Whiteboard Animation Video Examples

Video Igniter’s production team can make any kind of 2D or 3D animation for you. You can see some of our favorite example videos below. For additional production samples, check out our animation portfolio or request access to our demo reels and price sheet.

Contact us or schedule a call to start making your video.

How to make a whiteboard animation video with Video Igniter

Video Igniter will guide you through these steps to help you create a custom whiteboard animation video:

1). Contact Us

To get the ball rolling, send us a message or schedule a call with our production team to let us know what kind of whiteboard animation video you want us to create.

Our team will work with you to develop a production plan and budget to produce your whiteboard animation video.

When you’re ready to begin production, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for 50% of the production budget.

2). Script

Now that production is underway, our writers will spend more time learning about what you want to show and communicate in your whiteboard animation video. Then, they will draft the first draft of the script for your video.

You will receive a digital copy of the script to review with your team. When you review the script, make sure it accurately communicates all the key messages you want to convey in your video. If there are any revisions you want us to make, add your comments directly on the script. Our writers will revise your script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and sign off.

If additional edits are needed, our writers will continue to work with you to polish and refine your video’s script.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard acts like a visual outline to help us plan what sorts of visuals we will create for every part of your whiteboard animation video.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to review. If there are any scenes you want us to change, add your notes directly on each slide of the storyboard. Our storyboard artists will revise your storyboard and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve.

4). VoiceOver

Once the storyboard is completed, you will receive a selection of voiceover auditions. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite. We’ll hire that person to record the full narration for your whiteboard animation video. You will get an opportunity to listen to the full recording and request edits, if needed.

5). Soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtrack options. 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 video.

6). Making Your Whiteboard Animation Video

Now that the script, storyboard, voiceover and soundtrack are locked in, there are two ways to go about making a whiteboard animation:

Option 1: We set up a camera above a whiteboard and film while our whiteboard video animation artist draws every scene in sync with the voiceover for your video.

Option 2: We create all of the illustrations for your whiteboard animation video using an illustration style that looks like hand drawn illustrations and then we animate an image of a hand holding a pen so that it moves and creates the illusion of a hand drawing each scene in sync with your voiceover.

Both techniques are popular and option #2 tends to be more common because it gives us more creative control over the visuals and transitions between each illustration.

Regardless of which production technique we use, you will receive a digital copy of your whiteboard animation video to review with your team. While you review the video, organize your list of revision notes and share it with us. Our animators will update your whiteboard animation video and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve.

What does it cost to make a whiteboard animation video with Video Igniter?

Whiteboard animation videos tend to be less expensive to produce than standard 2D animation. Most whiteboard animations cost between $1,000-$3,000 to create each minute of video (depending on the complexity of the animation).

Get a quote for your whiteboard animation video or request access to Video Igniter’s pricing page.

How long does it take to make a whiteboard animation video?

Whiteboard animation videos take less time to produce than standard 2D animations. It takes about 2-4 weeks to create most whiteboard animation videos. If your video is more than 2 minutes long or if your company needs extra time to review assets and provide feedback, consider adding 1-2 weeks to the production timeline.

Want to figure out how long it will take to make your whiteboard animation video? Schedule a call with our production team. Need to speed up the production process? Ask us about rush delivery animation.

How to make a successful whiteboard animation video?

Here are a few things to think about before and during the production process to ensure you end up with a whiteboard animation video that helps you successfully achieve your goals:

1). Specify Your Target Audience

Tell us who your target audience is. Age, gender, background and more. What problems does your audience experience?

Sharing these types of details enables our writers to craft the script for your video to speak specifically to the needs, wants, desires and interests of your target audience. This enables us to make your video more compelling to entice your viewers to watch your whiteboard animation til the end.

2). Define Your Key Talking Points

What are the top messages you want to include in your whiteboard video animation? There’s about 120-150 words in a 60-second video script so every word counts. By defining what your key messages are, we will know what parts of the script to prioritize over others.

3). What do you want viewers to do at the end?

In many cases, when we make a video for a specific audience, we do so with the interest of motivating or inspiring them to take action when they’re done watching the video.

Do you want someone to donate to your nonprofit? Or download your free app?

Whatever the ask is, be up front about it so that we can craft your script to lead viewers to take action when they’re done watching your whiteboard video animation.

Budget Saving Tips For Whiteboard Animation Videos

Combine these tips to save 10%-25% or more off your whiteboard animation video production budget:

1). Record The VoiceOver

If you record the voiceover for your whiteboard animation video, we’ll deduct voiceover recording and licensing costs from your production budget. Watch 1:31 in this video to see how easy it is to record professional quality voiceovers at home for free! No expensive software or equipment needed.

2). Use Free, Legal Music

Sites like Incompetech and Facebook’s Sound Collection offer libraries of free music we can legally use in your whiteboard animation video. If you find a free song you like, we can deduct soundtrack licensing costs from your production budget.

3). Create The Script & Storyboard

If you write the script for your whiteboard animation video, we’ll deduct $500 off the price of each minute of content we produce for you. If you also provide the storyboard for your animation, we’ll deduct another $500 off the cost of each minute of video we produce for you.

Download our free script writing template and storyboard template for help getting started.

How to make a corporate animation with Video Igniter

Video Igniter will guide you through these steps to turn your idea into a custom designed corporate animation:

1). Get In Touch

To get the production process started, we want to learn about the corporate animation you want to create. We’ll ask you about who your target audience is, what you want to communicate in your animation and what you want to show in your animation.

Then, we’ll develop a budget and a production plan to make your corporate animation.

When you’re ready to move forward, you will receive a production contract to sign and an invoice for 50% of your production budget.

Send us a message or schedule a call to discuss your animation with our team.

2). Script

Now that production is underway, it’s time to develop the script for your corporate animation. If our writers need to learn more about your talking points and the overall communication goals for your corporate animation, we may schedule a brief call.

When the first draft of the script is ready, you will receive a link to a digital copy of your script which you can review and share with your team. Everyone can add their comments directly to the digital document.

When all the revision notes are in, our writers will revise your script and share the 2nd draft with you to review and approve. If further revisions are needed, our writers will continue to work with you to polish your script.

3). Storyboard

Next, we turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard functions like a blueprint for our illustrators and animators. It tells our team exactly what to create for every scene in your corporate animation.

You will receive a digital copy of the storyboard to share and review with your team. Each page contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch of the scene and instructions that explain how things will move on screen. If there are any parts you want to change, you can leave comments directly on each slide.

Video Igniter’s storyboard artists will integrate your revisions and share the 2nd draft of the storyboard with you to review and approve.

4). VoiceOver

After the storyboard is approved, we’ll send you voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which person is your favorite and we’ll hire them to record the full narration for your corporate animation. You will get a chance to listen to the full recording and request edits, if needed.

5). Music

You will also receive a handful of soundtrack selections to listen to. Let us know which one is your favorite and we’ll acquire the appropriate license(s) to use the music in your corporate animation.

6). Art

Next, it’s time to create the art. Video Igniter’s art director will start by creating a few pieces of concept art for your animation, based of your corporate brand guidelines. When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback with the art director so they understand what you like and dislike about each concept.

After the concept art is perfected, we’ll create all of the art for your corporate animation. You will get an opportunity to review all of the illustrations and request edits, if needed.

7). Animation

Now that everything is approved, we can animate your video!

You will receive a digital copy of the animation to download and share with your team for feedback. We also recommend circulating the animation among members of your target audience to get their feedback as well. After everyone has had a chance to share their thoughts, send everyone’s feedback to us. We’ll integrate your revisions and render out the final draft of your corporate animation.

What does it cost to make a corporate animation with Video Igniter?

For 2D animation, most corporate animations cost between $1,500-$7,500 for a 60-second video. If you want to make a fancier looking 2D animation that’s created using hand drawn animation techniques, your budget will more likely be in the $7,500-$15,000/min range.

3D corporate animations tend to cost between $5,000-$25,000 for each 60-seconds of video we create.

For detailed pricing information, you can request access to Video Igniter’s pricing page.

Alternately, you can send us a message to get a quote or schedule a call to speak with our production team about your corporate animation.

How long does it take to make a corporate animation?

The normal production timeline for a 60-second 2D corporate animation is about 4-5 weeks. If your company likes to do multiple rounds of revisions or needs to circulate content internally with legal and brand teams, you may want to pad your production timeline by a week or two.

3D animation and hand drawn animation usually take about 6-10 weeks to create 60-seconds worth of animation.

If your animation is longer than a minute, add a week or two for each additional minute of content we create for you.

Need to speed up the production process to meet a deadline? Ask us about rush delivery animation.

If you write the script for your corporate animation, you can save $500 off the price of each minute of animation we produce for you.

That’s up to $1,000 off the price of each minute of animation we create for you when you provide the script and storyboard for your corporate animation.

If you’ve never created a script or a storyboard before, have no fear! Download Video Igniter’s script writing template and storyboard template for help getting started.

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.
