Animations explain everything
It won’t be wrong to say that animated videos gain a lot more attention than a regular video. Why? Because animations help the audience understand without making them feel annoyed. Animation helps people learn faster than anything. We all have heard “I hear and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand.” Here both the “see and do” part is played by the animations these days. Let’s say your client wants you to design a car motion logo (moving car logo that changes its color too, for example). How will you provide your client with the real effect in a jpeg image? This is where logo animation expertise is required.
Developing content is more about telling the audience a story, where, in the end, we hope to gain the viewers’ vote. Either you’re selling a product or providing a service, your customer would demand visual evidence of what you are promising. Because no matter how far your marketing goes or how strong words salesperson uses, the customer will need visual proof. Previously, catalogs would have been doing this job. But after the growing digital marketing industry, we daily came up with new ideas to make easy-things-easier for our customers. You will need help from animation to take your potential client in confidence.
With growing competition by unlimited digital marketers, any product or service needs to satisfy its customer to the fullest. Thus, using animations not only capture the audience’s interest, but it also helps in spreading words.

The companies that provide products or services that need a good description will need all forms of content. Either it’s textual or pictorial, or in the way of video, they will.

With the extensive growth in video marketing and countless creative ideas, people are more encouraged to create content. For example, if you’re uploading hundreds of animated videos on your website. But it is not receiving satisfactory reach on your website; then the only reason can be the ‘bad quality animation”. These are produced as a result of limited resources or lower budgets.

Animations’ limit is the sky
With the animations, you can reach the next level of creativity. Because animation allows you to create content beyond any boundary. However, it isn’t meant to produce false marketing or things that will never exist in the real world. But it will help the customer in understating your words without you speaking. Animations allow you to have unlimited fantasies by keeping the viewer capabilities in mind. You cannot tell your customer that they get wings with an energy drink. But you can show them the unlimited energy they can get from it.
But why do only animated videos get all the hype and not the regular content? The reason is that textual content is boring. People don’t have much time reading the whole skit to understand. They can just view the ad in second and move on. Similarly, if a company launches a new product, they cannot make changes in the regular videos. However, with animated videos, you can use the same character and still introduce your new product. Because when any company uses the animated character for product display, it becomes its identity. It’s easy for people to remember a funny character than a model.
Similarly, whiteboard animations are all about telling your audience a story that is somehow related to them. In which they can put themselves at your character places. Because what seems impossible in real life, you can always be done in the animation world.
What animations you can use
- You can create animated characters
- Generate animated GIFs
- Design animated emoji
- Make animated logos, and much more.
