Why How-To Videos?

It is critical to pull viewers into your brand when they are in a learner’s mindset because you can easily introduce your service/ product as a solution.

How To Video Process
In the early stages of pre-production, we sit down to get to know your company, its people and what it represents. We simultaneously craft target personas or ideal audiences for your brand. We then decide on the video concept, and the look/feel and style. Finally, write a script if necessary, decide on location and set design, and lock down other details involved with how the final video will look, sound and perform.
This is where our professional crew works together to create your video. We bring on camera operators, directors, hair and makeup, wardrobe, lighting technicians, and other professionals to make your vision come to life. For animation, we engage illustrators, modelers, 3D artists and 2D animators to start molding the storyboard into an animated video.
We shape your story, handle color correction, clean up the audio, add music, create graphics, and in general make sure your video looks like we planned it in pre-production. Key features include editing, color correction, sound mixing and music composition. For animation, this is where we add in sound effects, music, voiceover & mix all of the elements together to create a final output.
