The creation of animated videos is now quite in demand, as the content market is growing at a rapid pace and artistic visions often include animation. Simultaneously with the lowering of the entry threshold into the sphere of filmmaking, equipment has become cheaper and more powerful, allowing the directors to implement more complex ideas. To create an animated video now does not require a powerful computer or workstation, as before. However, the more powerful you have, the more tasks and the faster you can complete. One of the latest models that the Apple MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max will do just fine.
Let’s imagine that you don’t have enough budget for a decent workstation or a powerful laptop. Let’s say you are a student or a beginner who is not yet sure that he needs such a powerful computer. In this case, render farms will come to your aid, which will render your blanks for a small amount and you will be able to see the result of your work in real time, and eventually get high-quality material. This service is inexpensive. On average, one hour of work costs about 1-2 US dollars. Note that in this case, you will need a fast Internet connection to download finished images.
How to order an animated video and get what you wanted?
Animation videos come in different types depending on how they are animated. Previously, before the era of computers, animation was created by hand by artists who essentially drew each frame separately, or drew on changes. Then all this was “scanned” and mounted. With the advent of computers, all processes have changed. Now it has become possible to create an animated video for one person without getting up from the table. Of course, difficult work cannot be done alone, but Masyanya proves to us that worthy projects can come out with a great desire and talent of just one person.
Ordering an animated video is easy. You just need to set the task for the artists and animators. To do this, we draw up a technical task, a storyboard and a moodboard, of course, it will not do without scenario, where all the actions of the characters, colors and others will be described details. The execution time depends primarily on the complexity of the project and the budget allocated to it. A project can be completed by one employee for a month, but if a larger budget is available to you, you put more people on the project, raise the rates for processing a little, and the project is ready many times faster.
Animation video price
Suppose we ordered an animated video, now we need an estimate. When the video production agency has received all the initial data and we have discussed the details of the project in order to understand the author’s vision, it can give the exact price of the animated video.If options are possible, then the estimate should consist of several options that the contractor has provided. After receiving the estimate, you are obliged to say your “oh, how expensive”, the contractor will scratch his head a little, remove a couple of items and, shaking hands, you will start work. The performer most often will not meet the first deadline, but you should be calm, because in creativity this is the norm.
The creator cannot be stopped, he can only stop being paid for the time he spends polishing an already finished project. But everyone knows about it. The first deadline has come, the customer is looking impatiently at the result and with bulging eyes full of indignation replies that this is not at all what he ordered. We will also take this moment into account, we communicate with the customer and clarify what is wrong. We understand what needs to be fixed and fix it. We show the work with the corrections made, the customer claps his hands with happiness and signs the certificate of completion. Now the balance of the universe has been restored, although when a client orders video production and editing services, the process is a little different.
Animated videos for business
What are animated videos for business? This is the same as developing an animation video to order, only for business – everything is simple. It is worth noting that corporate videos should carry a deep meaning, be filled with brand philosophy, they should reflect a modern company, if the task is not to show its historical development. The animation mechanism here can be any, graphics, stop motion, 3D, or several options combined together. If an animated video for business will be integrated into another commercial, then they should merge together when viewing the whole product.
To do this, we work more closely with the customer. The customer directs the team to the desired vibe, and the result is a product ready for display. Working with animation on average takes from a week to a month, depending on the complexity of the output video. Recently, it has become popular not to brush the video and not to eliminate small errors, leaving them in the project. Thus, manual work, rather than computer work, becomes more noticeable. It leaves an interesting aftertaste because you know there is a specific person behind it, not a machine. We are not machines, so please contact us if you need animation.
