Creative and impactful 2D animation
2D Animation.
When creating a sequence of videos that demonstrate your product features and benefits, there’s little that offers as much flexibility as animation. As well as ingenuous 2D animation (created using vector lines and shapes), you can also explore using 3D modelling software (rendered in a flat illustration style), which gives you the freedom to explore every aspect of your product while keeping the ‘look and style’ modest and informative, complimenting the 2D illustration style.
Rotoscoping is often used in 2D animation as a way to create incredibly realistic lifelike action. A technique used by animators to trace over live-action film footage, frame by frame. It’s used extensively in the visual effects industry, so that the figure can be composited over another background. A stylised version of this can be seen below - Can you guess which Hollywood movie it’s from? Making animated product videos the perfect choice for many of our clients, who choose a variety of these industry standard techniques. When done brilliantly, an artful product explainer animation is an elegant and highly effective way to showcase your product, to inspire, inform and influence individuals.
