Still have questions about image videos? Cracky will answer them all!
In times of shitstorms, image is a very fragile entity. And you would do well to always be prepared to highlight the really positive sides of an honest company, even with an outstanding image film. Unlike explainer videos or product videos, an image video is about portraying a company or institution in a short format. Here, we often use company facts or even 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.
Every company, every project has its individual appearance - from the logo to the corporate design to the website. Therefore, we believe that the style of your image video should fit as well as possible into your overall appearance. Due to the multitude of requirements and needs, there are also very different styles and possibilities to create your image video. Here is a short overview of possible and popular video styles:
- Hybrid: Image video was yesterday, today there is hybrid! Put your image video on a much more real and credible foundation: by using real footage and real people, your video looks more authentic and much more modern. The whole thing is garnished with smart infographics and typography. Check out a sample HERE.
- Stopmotion: It can also be tricky - with an image video produced using stop trick or stop motion. Here, objects are moved by hand, frame by frame. Usually combined with an animation, you get an attention-grabbing video that is second to none. HERE you can see the video.
- Typo: It can also be tricky - with an image 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. HERE you can see 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.
Your video project is in good 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 materials). During our kick-off briefing meeting we will clarify all open questions. 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 image video for feedback and approval. Request a project now.
We are absolute brand professionals - and not only that, our individual approach convinces our clients from start-ups to DAX-listed corporations. We understand brands and products, find their most convincing benefits and the customized image video style that's just right for you. So that you and your image video really stand out! All this with our own team, without outsourcing to low-wage countries - on time and in premium quality.
So: Let's crack nuts!
We know how hard it is to focus on the most important things when creating an image video. But that's exactly what we do. We help you filter out the essence of your business and bring it into a crisp 60 to 90 seconds max. Anything longer usually turns into a sales video and is not the job of a good image video. Here it is primarily about staging your company and its activities to the point - for this, a crisp 60-90 seconds in length should be enough, which everyone then watches to the end.
Our image 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'll be happy to provide you with a transparent, customized quote with a clearly defined scope of services and a fixed price that you can stick with. And: asking costs nothing at first!
