What Is The Video Production Process For Business Videos?

If you’ve never made a video before, this high level overview will give you an idea of what to expect when you hire Video Igniter to produce a video for your business.

1). Contact Us For A Quote

To get things started, let’s schedule a call or send us a message to discuss your project and goals. Our team will work with you to learn what you want to show and communicate in your business video. Once we agree to the scope of your project, we’ll send you a production timeline, a production agreement to sign and an invoice for the first 50% of your production budget.

2). Script

Now that production is underway, our copywriters that specialize in video production for businesses will develop the first draft of your script. If the copywriters need to learn more about what you want to communicate in your video, they may send you a list of questions via email or schedule a call to discuss. Popular questions include:

• Who is your target audience?
• What problems do they experience?
• How does your solution solve their problems?
• What key messages do you want to include in your video?
• What do you want your target audience to do when they’re done watching your video?

With this information in hand, our copywriters will write the first draft of your script. You will get an opportunity to review the script with your team and request edits before we move on to the next stage of production.

3). Storyboard

After your script is approved, it’s time to turn your script into a storyboard. Video production for business requires the creation of a storyboard because it enables us to get consensus about what we will create visually. The storyboard essentially functions like a blueprint during the video production process.

Each page of the storyboard contains a sentence from your script, a rough sketch of the scene, and a list of instructions that explain how things will move throughout each scene.

Your team will get an opportunity to review the full storyboard and request edits before we move to the next stage of the video production process.

4). Illustrations

Now that the storyboard is approved the next step in the video production for business workflow is to create the illustrations.

Video Igniter’s art director will review your brand guidelines and style references. Then, they will create multiple pieces of concept art based on scenes from your storyboard.

When you review the concept art, share your honest feedback with the art director. Let them know what you like and dislike about each concept. This way, the artist can refine and polish your favorite visual concept until it’s perfect.

After the concept art gets your approval, the art director will oversee the production of all the illustrations for your business video. You will get an opportunity to review all of the art and ask for edits before we animate your video.

5). VoiceOver

Video production for business includes the creation of a professional voiceover narration to guide your viewers through your key messages. You will receive multiple voiceover auditions to listen to. Let us know which option is your favorite and then we’ll hire that person to record the narration for your business video.

You and your team will get an opportunity to listen to the full recording and request edits (if needed) before we animate your video.

6). Soundtrack

You will also receive a selection of soundtracks to listen to. Let us know which soundtrack best suits your brand’s personality. Then, we’ll acquire the appropriate licenses so we have the rights to use the music in your business video.

7). Animation

Now that everything is approved, it’s time to produce your video!

Animating a video for your business takes about 1 week for each minute of content we’re producing (so a 1.5 minute video will take about 1.5 weeks). If your video is particularly long, we may add additional animators to speed up the production process. If you need to guarantee delivery in 4 weeks or less, ask us about rush delivery.

When the first draft is ready, you will receive a download link to share with your team. We encourage you to do a deep dive on the video and share it with members of your target audience to collect a wide range of feedback. After you summarize all the revision requests, send them our way and we’ll integrate your edits and render out the final draft of your animation.

How much does video production for business cost?

2D video production for businesses costs between $1,750-$7,500 to create each minute of video content.

If you want to create a video for your business that uses 3D animation or a high end form of 2D animation known as cel animation, your budget will be 2x-3x larger.
