London based corporate video animation services

It has been proven that when browsing websites, people in general far prefer to view photographs and watch videos. Videos in particular are engaging and if done correctly, captivate the audience, allowing the corporate message to be sent across. In recent years, animation videos and explainer videos are used more and more on websites. Video animations can be used to provide a visual and audio explanation of the business in a way that keeps the user's attention whilst explaining the company USPs and delivering the key messages.

Swift Digital has a team of video animation professionals with a variety of skills both technical and creative. Working together we produce animation videos that firstly tie in with the customer's brand guidelines, and secondly produce eye-catching and engaging videos, with clear concise scripts that delivery the customers's message to their customers and potential customers.


Video animation begins with creative ideas


The first stage of producing your new video animation is the creative stage. Here our staff will work with you to brainstorm ideas, discuss what type of video you are looking for, and the purpose of the video, for example is the goal to have a general corporate animation video to let prospective customers know about your brand and your business? Or is the purpose to have an animated explainer video detailing a specific product or service that your business offers?

From these initial discussions we will produce a creative strategy that will meet your requirements and goals whilst using our nearly two decades worth of experience to give your project a unique angle that will put you ahead of your competition.


Video animation storyboards


The process of creating an animated video is complex and time consuming. There will also be guidelines for many areas of the video including its length, therefore a storyboard is critical to the production of your new video.

We will create the storyboard for your new animation video and send it through for comments/approval. The Storyboard will show the style of the video which would have been discussed in the Creative stage, it will show the scenes and the information to be displayed in each scene. This stage is where you will start to see how your video will be produced.


Scripts, voiceovers and soundtracks


Depending on your requirements, your new video may require a voiceover and/or subtitles. For the animated explainer videos, it is common to have a voiceover that will provide the viewer with key information about your business, your products or services. The voiceover will provide adittional information to the graphics that are being played and will give fullness to your video and your message.

Here at Swift Digital, we have professional male and female voiceover artists that can provide a professional, warm and friendly soundtrack to your video. A script will be produced and submitted to you for approval. The script will show exactly what will be said at each stage of the animation. The script needs to flow effortlessly throughout the animation. To support the voiceover it is also recommended to have subtitles on the video so that the hearing imparied and users without sound can still benefit fully from the video.

Another aspect of the audio for the animation is the soundtrack. The majority of animation videos produced will have some form of music in the background and helps to provide a fuller all-round experience. Our technicians and creatives will supply and procure a soundtrack that will suite your style of video and match the tone of the message.


Video animation production


This is the stage where your vision starts to come to life. Our experience animators will take everything from the project and will develop your new animated video. Using the latest technologies you will receive a draft video that you will be able to view and provide feedback on. Any testing bugs and tweaks will be resolved and once complete you will receive a high resolution quality product. From here you will be able to use this on your website or on Social Media websites.
