The first quarter of 2018 is in the books! To reflect, we thought it was appropriate to put together a list of the top animated explainer videos for 2018. In this article, you’ll get an inside look on projects we’ve produced so far this year. We’re certainly proud of all our projects, but these three videos are the cream of the crop.
What goes into creating some of the top animated explainer videos for 2018?
Communication
It’s important that we truly understand our client’s value proposition. We spend a lot of time discussing ideas internally and asking questions to our clients. We also have our clients fill out a creative brief. This brief is a key component of the production process.Vision
It’s important that the client has a vision for their project. There’s no point in producing an explainer video without a specific problem to solve or an area of focus. We always come to the party with ideas. However, our clients’ vision and collaboration improves the final result.Attention to Detail
We really put in the time to map out the story and focus on details. It’s the small things that separate a good project from a great one. We spend time developing every aspect of a video. We make sure the visuals are solid and the voice is delivered with perfection. Additionally, the animation is smooth and the music compliments the voice. Lastly, of course, we make sure that the story is effective and engaging.Here it is! Our list of top explainer videos for 2018:
