1. Why is animation video production an effective way to promote a brand, product or service?

 In the commercial world, videos are mostly used to inform the audience of a brand’s story, products and services. For certain industries, such as the insurance sector, and certain types of videos, such as a product launch video, animation can simplify complex topics and messages. Animated videos help bring concepts to life in a way that live-action videos cannot. With the help of animation, you can easily show how a complicated process or intricate mechanism works. Hence, animation studios in Hong Kong have been creating product explainer videos and animated infographics for different businesses.

As internet users have short attention span, it is important not only to draw, but also to keep audience’s attention. Animated video is a story-telling tool that delivers messages in an engaging way, therefore can easily evoke an emotional connection with the audience. Professional animators in animation production houses can use different types of animation techniques and styles to create captivating videos that elicit emotions. Researches have revealed that animated ads are more effective than still ads as emotional arousal can positively affect a viewer’s memory of a certain advertised brand. Therefore, enterprises work with animation studios in Hong Kong to produce high-impact, engaging explainer videos to add value to their brands. Another advantage of using animated videos as compared to live-action videos is that animation video production is less expensive and takes less time. There is no need for a venue, actors, a director and shooting equipment etc. All you need is an animator or a professional team in an animation production house to create awesome animated videos.

2. What are the steps of animation video production in Hong Kong?

The animation video production process is made up of several steps. First is the concept development phase. You should have a clear idea of your objectives, target audience, distribution platforms etc. Define the core message of the animation before writing a cohesive script around it. As the script lays the groundwork for the overall animation, you may want to work with the creative team in an animation production house to develop a well-thought-out script. The next step is storyboarding. Serving as the framework for the animated video, the storyboard will establish an artistic direction and reflect the overall visual style of the animation. Then, record the voice-over narration. Afterwards, professional animators in animation production houses will bring illustrations to life by giving movements to the characters and other elements appearing on the screen. Lastly, animators will need to edit and synchronize the sound effects, voiceover, and musical soundtrack with the visual counterpart.
