Video Concept/Vision Development
Through the Discovery process, we will craft a vision our team and your team can return to as the guiding idea and goal for the creative. We will internalize your values and communication goals to help ground our work, all the while pushing creativity forward. We will hone and refine the vision to aspire and inspire. You can expect an enjoyable collaboration at every step of Discovery and execution. We are recommending an animated approach for this project to appeal to the intended audience whose race and cultural backgrounds vary.
A concept will be developed with our creative team in close collaboration with yours. This will then be scripted with a storyboard for the two three-minute videos for your approval before production.
Scripting and Storyboards
A solid narrative and script are the foundation. The story flow must be concise, informative, and audience-appropriate. Two scripts will be created in which narrative, text, and visuals all work together for the completed videos. We create storyboards and treatments to clarify the vision and to communicate time-based meaning, art direction, motion/animation, voiceover engagement, and more.
Shooting, Directing & Producing
After concepting and visioning, we are ready to move to production. Our creative director will illustrate the characters while working with team members who have expertise in film, videography, editing, animation, and audio engineering. If we determine there is a need for live-action footage or a person speaking on camera, our team includes experts with advanced training and experience in motion picture direction, acting, diction, and voiceover coaching.
Animation and Motion
We will use motion graphics and animation for storytelling, dimension, and expressing complex content. We have talented motion graphics artists and animators to integrate a wide range of creative ideas.
Postproduction/Editing/Subtitles
Post production is where it all comes together. Though we love every aspect of the process, this might be our favorite. We will work with you on illustrations, rough-draft edits, background music, color correction, etc. This is your project, and nothing makes us happier than your pride and satisfaction with the final product. We will then deliver all forms, edits, and versions in your preferred format.
Presented in spoken English, we will translate and subtitle the birthing person video in nine languages.
