1). Contact Us
To start making an animation online, contact us with details about your project or schedule a call with our production team. We’ll work with you to create a plan to make your animation on time and on budget.
2). Script
Making an animation online starts with writing the script. Our team will spend some time getting to learn:
- What you want to communicate in your animation ✅
- Who your target audience is ✅
- What do you want people to do when they’re done watching your animation? ✅
Our writers use this information to make the script for your animation. When the first draft is ready, use Video Igniter’s online animated video production dashboard to review your script and request revisions before approving the script for production.
3). Storyboard
Next, we’ll turn your script into a storyboard. We’re basically turning your script into a blueprint so that our illustrators and animators know what to create for every part of your video script.
We’ll share the storyboard with you as soon as it’s ready. Use Video Igniter’s online animated video production dashboard to share your feedback. Make sure the storyboard includes enough details to ensure our production team knows what is important to show in each scene.

5). Soundtrack
Our team will select several soundtracks that compliment the content of your animation. Use Video Igniter’s online production dashboard to give the soundtracks a listen and select the one you prefer.
We’ll take care of acquiring the broadcast license so that we can legally use the music when we make your animation.
6). Illustrations
Making the illustrations for your animation starts with creating concept art. Our art director will make several visual concepts for you to review online.
Use Video Igniter’s online animation production dashboard to review the concepts and select the visual concept you like best. You can also collaborate with our art director to refine the visual style of your favorite piece of concept art until you love every detail. Then, the art director will oversee the creation of all of the illustrations for your animation.
