Our Process
At Hand on a Whiteboard, we follow a streamlined and collaborative process to ensure your whiteboard animation project is a success from start to finish. Here’s how we work:
Discovery & Consultation
We start by getting to know your business, goals, and target audience. During this initial phase, we gather all the information needed to craft an animation that fits your needs perfectly. We take the time to understand your vision and outline the best approach for your project.
Scriptwriting & Storyboarding
Once we’ve gathered the necessary information, we create a script that clearly communicates your message. Our team of writers ensures the script aligns with your brand and audience. After approval, we develop a storyboard that visually outlines the animation sequence, providing a roadmap for the project.
Animation Design & Production
Using the script and storyboard as a guide, our expert animators begin creating the video. Every element is hand-drawn, and we focus on creating visually stunning animations that engage your audience. We ensure smooth transitions, compelling visuals, and a consistent style throughout the video.
Voiceover & Sound Design
Once the animation is in progress, we add the voiceover, music, and sound effects to enhance the storytelling. Our professional voice actors bring your script to life, while the sound design complements the visuals, creating an immersive experience for your audience.
Review & Revisions
We value your feedback! After the initial draft is ready, we’ll share it with you for review. You can provide comments and revisions, ensuring that the video is perfect before the final version is delivered. Our team works with you to make sure the video meets all your expectations.
Final Delivery & Launch
Once you approve the video, we deliver the final version in the format of your choice. We ensure the video is ready for distribution on your website, social media, or any platform where you plan to share it. Our job isn’t done until you’re completely satisfied with the result.
