How To Make Animations Online With Video Igniter?
1). Contact Us To Start Making Your Animations Online
Start production by getting in touch with us – send us a message about the animations you want to make, or schedule a call with our production team. We will work with you to develop a production plan for your animations so that we can make them for you on time and on budget. Then, we’ll spend some time learning:
✅ What do you want to communicate in your animations?
✅ Who is the target audience for your animations?
✅ What do you want people to do when they’re done watching your animations?
✅ What visual style do you want us to use when we make your animations?
2). Scripts
Our writing team will develop scripts for your animations and share them with you to get your feedback. When you review the scripts, make sure they contain all your talking points and that we communicate them the way your target audience is used to discussing them. We will revise your scripts until you are 100% happy with them.
3). Storyboards
Next, we’ll turn your scripts into storyboards. A storyboard is a visual blueprint for the production team. It provides instructions for the illustrators and animators so that they know what to create. Give your storyboard a detailed review to ensure it includes documentation for all of the important visual details that need to be included in your animation. If we missed anything, let us know and we’ll add it into your storyboard.
4). VoiceOvers
You will receive voiceover auditions for every character in your animations. Let us know which voice(s) you prefer. We’ll hire those people to record the full voiceover for your animations. You will get an opportunity to review the full length voiceover(s) and request revisions before approving the audio for production.
5). Soundtracks
You will receive several soundtrack options that we feel can be used to enhance the presentation of key moments in your animations. Let us know which options you prefer and then we’ll acquire the broadcast rights so that we can legally use the music when we make your animations.
6). Illustrations
Our art director will develop custom concept art for your animations. Let the art director know which concept you like best. You can also collaborate with the art director to refine the visual details so that the art perfectly matches your branding.
After the concept is approved, we create all of the illustrations for your animations. Give the art a detailed review and let us know what revisions you would like us to make before we start animating your videos.
7). Animation
Now that everything is approved, it’s time to make your animations. For some projects, you may receive all of your animations at once. Other production schedules may have the videos delivered on a ‘rolling basis’ – meaning you may receive 1-2 videos/week so that they’re ready for publishing the following week.
In either case, we recommend reviewing your animations with members of your target audience. Collect their feedback and send it to us to review. We will integrate your feedback and then render out the final draft of each animation for you to use.

How To Save Money When You Make Animations Online?
Combining a few of the ideas below can help you save $1,000 or more off the cost of making your animations online.
1). Don’t Rush Production
Rushing production requires a budget increase so that we can add more producers to your video project and pay them extra to work late nights and weekends to meet your deadline.
Planning ahead a few extra weeks can save you 25%-50% or more off the cost of making your animations.
2). Write Your Script
Video Igniter is happy to work with you to make the scripts for your animations. That being said, you can save $500 or more off the cost of making your animations online by writing your scripts yourself. Download our free script writing template.
3). Make Your Storyboard
You can save $500 or more off the cost of your animated video projects by making the storyboards yourself. You can hire Video Igniter to create your storyboards for you, but you can also download our free storyboard templates and make them yourself.
4). Use Free, Legal Music
Most commercial soundtracks can be licensed for $50-$500. You can skip this production cost by sourcing free music from Incompetech or Facebook’s Sound Collection.
5). Record Your Own VoiceOver
You can record your own professional quality voiceover for free. Voiceovers can cost $50-$500 or more to create and license for animated video projects. Alternatively, you can watch 1:31 in this video to learn how you can record high quality voiceovers at home for free.
