Okay, let’s take it away!
10. Limited Color Palette
The video below uses a limited color palette and the client’s brand color, yellow, to draw your attention to specific parts of a scene. This is a great way to highlight things like logos, key messaging, main characters, and so on.
9. Have Fun With Quirky Characters
Using animated characters are a great way to add some personality and charm to your video. So go wild, be as quirky as you want. In the below video we used rigged characters in After-effects combined with frame by frame animation and cut-out animation.
8. Have Fun With Shapes
Your video can come in many shapes and sizes – literally! The below video was created using bright colors and a motion graphic style (this is just a casual term people use to describe videos that are based on moving graphics and transitions rather than characters).
7. Have Fun With Stock Footage
A full live-action production can be super expensive, so using stock footage is a great alternative. And the best part? You can actually have a lot of fun with it, such as in the video below:
6. Realistic 3D Products
These types of videos will have your audience wondering how you got your product to do that! They are super realistic animations of your product, that enable you to show your product from all sides. And honestly, they are just really fun to look at.
5. Let’s Go to Space
The sky is the limit, literally, when it comes to animation. Have fun with your visuals. Have you ever wanted to visit outer space? With animation, you can!
4. Short Promo Video
Short-form videos are all the rage right now. Google any 2023 marketing trend, and you will find short-form content on that list! Below is an example of a series of videos we created for our client, to be used on social media.
3. Abstract 3D Screen Demo
We wouldn’t be Piehole.TV without a software example on our list. Here’s an example of a video using abstract visuals to show the client’s product, as well as some realistic screens. Finally, it was topped off with smooth typography, vibrant colors, and a fun soundtrack.
2. 3D Icons
Here’s another example of a video that use a motion graphic type of style. This time, it was created using 3D animation. The visuals show a lot of icons moving around, jumping, and morphing, to show the various platforms.
