Still have questions about fire videos? Cracky will answer them all!

What is a fire video?

In times of shitstorms, image is a very fragile thing. And you would do well to always be prepared to highlight the really positive aspects of an honest company, even with an outstanding brand video. Unlike explainer videos or product videos, a brand video is about portraying a company or institution in a short format. We often use company facts or a corporate philosophy to develop a unique concept. For positive image building, it is important to really focus on content that tells more about the company or its employees than just talking about its products and services.

Which style for my brand video?

Every company, every project has its own individual appearance - from the logo to the corporate design to the website. That's why we believe that the style of your brand video should fit into your overall appearance as well as possible. Due to the variety of requirements and needs, there are also very different styles and options for creating your brand video. Here is a brief overview of possible and popular video styles:

  • Hybrid: Brand video was yesterday, today there is hybrid! This puts your brand video on a much more real and credible footing: by using real images and real people, your video looks more authentic and much more modern. The whole thing is garnished with smart infographics and typography. Get a taste HERE.
  • Stopmotion: It can also be tricky - with a brand video produced using stop trick or stopmotion. Here, objects are moved by hand, frame by frame. Usually combined with an animation, the result is an attention-grabbing video that is second to none. Click HERE for the video.
  • Typo: It can also be tricky - with a brand video produced using stop trick or stop motion. Here, objects are moved by hand, frame by frame. Usually combined with an animation, the result is an attention-grabbing video that is second to none. Click HERE for the video.
  • Real-Mix: Animated characters conquer our real world - this is a very hot trend. We have tracked this down and already implemented it in several projects. Animated characters are inserted into realistic visuals and animated. An absolute eye-catcher.
  • 2-D character: Telling a good story from the perspective of a character - that's possible with this style. It doesn't necessarily have to be a human being at the center - we have already invented various characters: from a drop of blood that has come to life for the topic of blood donation to a poor eye for digital visual aids. There are no limits to the imagination here.
How is my fire video created?

Your video project is in the best hands with us! To prepare for the briefing meeting, simply fill out our project questionnaire HERE and send us all the information about your topic (e.g. presentations, advertising material). We will clarify all open questions during our kick-off briefing meeting. Then we can get started: We'll guide you through the process step by step - you'll first receive our video script with voiceover and preview images, then the finished brand video for feedback and approval. Request a project now.

All this with our own team, without outsourcing to low-wage countries - on time and in premium quality.
So: Let's crack nuts!

How long should a fire video be?

We know how hard it is to focus on the most important things when creating a brand video. But that's exactly what we do. We help you to filter out the essence of your company and get it into a crisp 60 to 90 seconds maximum. Anything longer usually degenerates into a sales video and is not the job of a good brand video. The main aim here is to present your company and its activities in a nutshell - a crisp 60-90 seconds should be long enough for everyone to watch to the end.

What does a fire video cost?

Our brand video prices generally depend on a whole range of factors: Complexity of the brief, scope of concept, length of the video, design/animation style, coordination process, intended use, scope of adaptations, social media versions, etc. We will be happy to provide you with a transparent, customized cost estimate with a clearly defined scope of services and a fixed price, which we will stick to. And: it costs nothing to ask!
