Animation Video Use Cases
Videos are an extremely flexible format, and none more so than animated videos. An animated clip is your opportunity to communicate with your audience through images, sounds, and words. They’re especially effective for the following use cases:
Demonstrate your products and services
Product, software, and service tutorial walkthrough videos teach your audience how to best benefit from your offers in a fast, entertaining and engaging way.
Not only do they increase your customer’s satisfaction with your offerings, they also reduce the time and budget you need to dedicate to support-desk calls.
Promote your App
Apps that showcase a video on their Play store and App store listings get considerably more downloads and better visibility than those that only use static images.
The sooner you add a video to your apps listing, the faster you’ll see a bump in your downloads and active user community.
Inform, Educate and Meet Compliance Requirements
Why use text or static infographics when you can captivate your audience with video?
Kinetic typography explainer videos use colorful and dynamic animated texts and silhouettes to present data and make them appealing and engaging. They make an unforgettable impression and are excellent for emphasizing key messages to both internal and external stakeholders and audiences.

When you choose to work with us on your animated video production you can be at ease knowing every aspect of your production is looked after.
Ideation
Our team has managed production of numerous clips for clients from a variety of backgrounds ranging from MNCs and global NGOs to local businesses and startups. Whatever your goals are for your video, we’re happy to brainstorm with you regarding the best way to achieve them in the medium.
Voiceover
We offer a selection of voice talents for your clip. You can opt to use male or female narration, and you can even specify the particular accent and tone you’re looking for. If you’re not sure what’s best for your video we’re always happy to help with recommendations.
Storyboard
A storyboard shows each and every scene in your clip. It brings together your production’s visual style and script into a single visual walkthrough that gives a clear picture for how the storyline will progress and look.
Script
Any video is only as good as its script. Your video production includes having us write your script for you. For every minute of production we can normally fit between 126-132 narrated words in English. Other languages have a slight variance of words per minute.
Moodboard
The moodboard serves to set the visual mood and tone of the production. Elements such as colours, typography, lead imagery, character and scene design are all referenced in order to clarify the creative direction.
Background music
Your video production includes setting your clip to creative commons licensed background music that complements your storyline. If your organization already has its own theme score, or if you’re interested in commissioning a dedicated and proprietary composition, these can be arranged as well.
Editing and post-production
Once the primary animation video is done we still have some post-production polishing to do such as adding in your logo-intro, embedding subtitles, etc. You may also have requests for some tweaking edits, which we’ll be happy to oblige.
