How To Make a Viral Explainer Video

 

 

Wanna take the fast track to success? Wanna make your business into an overnight sensation? Then you need a viral video.

Making a viral video is easy! First, decide whether you want to make it…

A) Cute
B) Funny
C) Absurd or
D) Embarassing

Then come up with your wacky idea. Make a video. Put it on YouTube. And you’ve got a 1 in 100 million chance of sitting back and letting the views roll in.

Wait. What?

Here’s the truth….

There are millions upon millions of videos on the internet and only a handful of them go viral. And only, like, two or three of the ones that did go viral were marketing videos.

You can’t intentionally make a viral video the same way you can’t intentionally make a hit song. The harder you try, the less likely it becomes.

If you want to expand your reach and build your online marketing presence, your best bet is to do it the old fashioned way.

Ditch the wacky antics and make a high-quality, informative video.

Then learn how to market it effectively on Google, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Promoshin is here to help you do just that. Give us a call to find out how!

Tips For Making The Video Production Process Go Smoothly

 

 

At Promoshin, we’re not a big fan of rules. Creativity should be set free!

That’s why we offer unlimited revisions and a hundred percent satisfaction guarantee.

However, there are a few simple guidelines to follow to ensure the production process goes as smoothly as possible, and you end up with the best possible video!

First, it’s important to understand that the standard production process happens in stages.

At the script stage, we’ll work on the language your voice over will use, and initial ideas for the animation.

In the storyboard phase, we’ll sketch out the scenes that will eventually appear in your video.

In the illustration phase, we’ll draw in the details of those scenes.

And in the animation phase, we’ll put it all together with movement, voiceover, and music.

You have unlimited revisions at each stage, but we expect each stage to be mostly locked in before moving forward.

That means making major changes to the script or storyboard at the animation stage is frowned upon.

Keep in mind that for Rush projects, we’ll be going straight from script to animation, so it’s important to read the animation notes very carefully.

Second, please send your notes to us in an email, so we can keep track of what you asked for during different stages of production.

Dropbox comments are strictly forbidden, because we can’t keep track of the comments.

When giving feedback on the script, feel free to edit the document directly.

When giving feedback on the storyboard, please reference the scene number.

When giving feedback on the illustrations, please reference the file name.

And when giving feedback on a completed video, please reference the timestamp where the note applies.

Regarding timing, we’re going to try as hard as we can to finish your video as quickly as possible.

But we can never guarantee a specific deadline, because the process relies on how quickly you respond, and how many revisions you ask us to make.

So if you want your video done as soon as possible, respond as fast as you can to our requests for feedback or approval.

And if you aren’t able to get to it for a while, just let us know there might be a delay, so we don’t get worried about you.

If you miss our beautiful voices, feel free to call us on the phone.

But sometimes we won’t be able to pick up right away.

So leave a voicemail, and we’ll call you back as soon as we can.

Or better yet, schedule a call so you can be sure we’ll have enough time to speak.

And that’s about it!

We want this process to be easy and fun for you, so if you have any questions or concerns, drop us a line!

Animated vs. Live Action Explainer Videos – Which Is Better?

 

 

Early in the creative process for any video, you’re going to come to a crucial crossroads.

Animation or Live action? On the surface it seems like a tough decision.

On one hand, your favorite movies are live action…

On the other hand, you did really love Finding Nemo.

What’s a decision-maker to do?

We’re going to pull back the veil to show you that the choice is a lot easier than it seems.

Depending on who makes your video, a typical animated video can cost anywhere from 1 to 25 thousand dollars to produce, and takes about 3 to 6 weeks.

With live action, those numbers start closer to 5, thousand, and the upper limit is out of sight.

They also take much longer to create.

Why the big difference?

For starters, here is a list of people that are involved in a quality animated video production.

And here are the people who are involved in a live action project.

That’s a lot of mouths to feed.

And that’s only part of the reason live action can get so expensive.

There’s also a logistical can of worms that someone has to deal with.

And if something didn’t come out right the first time, or something about your business changes…

Updates or revisions become just as costly as the initial pass. And you can forget about updating your video months down the line.

With animation, the logistics are simple, revisions are a breeze, and they age like a fine English Stichelton That is, very nicely.

Plus, animation can be much better for communicating abstract ideas, with fewer restrictions than a live action shoot.

So if you’d rather be limited by your imagination than your budget, The choice is clear.

And if you value quality, transparency, speed and affordability, then Promoshin is the best choice for your animation needs.

Why Do You Need an Explainer Video?

The Explainer Video Production Process

 

 

At Promoshin, our streamlined production process makes creating your video easy, fast, and fun! Here’s how it works.

First, you’ll decide what length of video you need, and put in a deposit. If you’re not sure of the exact length you want – don’t worry, we can always adjust your balance later! Then, you’ll need to give us some information so we can get started.

First, A questionnaire, which asks you some questions about your business and video goals. If you have any other materials that might help us write your script, send those along as well! You’ll also need to choose a video style.

We can create videos in any style, so please send us a link to the specific video you like best. Keep a special eye out for how the characters look. Next, you’ll send us your logo and any branding suggestions and choose a voice actor from our library!

Once we have all those materials, our world class writers will get to work on your script, which will include both voiceover and animation ideas. Our creative director will work on your script with you until it’s perfect.

Then our animation team will create a storyboard. This means each scene of your video will be sketched out so you can get a sense of how it looks. Your project manager will work with you from here.

And don’t forget – Promoshin gives you unlimited revisions at each stage, so feel free to make as many changes as you need.

After your storyboard is approved, we’ll bring it to life in full-color illustrations. The illustrations are exactly how your video will look, minus the movement, so make sure everything looks good!

Once the illustrations are complete, our extraordinarily handsome voice talent will record your script and our expert team of animators will get to work making your illustrations move!

Your project manager will present your video, and you’ll have more time to make any necessary changes.

And once you’re completely happy with your new video, you’ll take care of the final balance on your account, and we’ll send you your video download link! It’s that easy.

So how long does this all take? It depends on a few variables, including the length of your video, the style of your animation, how quickly you can give us your feedback, and the number of revisions we need to make.

If you need your video really soon, you’ll want to take advantage of our RUSH service, which will prioritize your project over all the others in our queue.
