With the ability to explain and advertise a product or service at the first customer touchpoint, explainer videos are a powerful online marketing strategy. Ripple Animation understands the demand for high-quality animated explainer videos that highlight your brand\u2019s most prominent features and separate them from the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this second entry to our \u201cWhat Makes a Great Explainer Video\u201d series, we explore one of the most crucial elements of the animated video production process: the storyboard. Creating a storyboard is often the most fun part of the animation process and typically involves the most client communication. <\/span><\/p>\n

The storyboard is created after the script and art styles have been approved by the client. Using powerpoint, Ripple Animation is able to create a simple and straightforward storyboard presentation that can help clients better visualize the product we are delivering. <\/span><\/p>\n

By gifting clients a work-in-progress they can see visually, you can improve cross-team collaboration on ideas that could better suit the client\u2019s end vision and clear up any miscommunication. <\/span><\/p>\n
