As a content marketing tool, nothing beats a high quality video. On Instagram, video posts have the highest overall engagement rate (38% higher than image posts). Videos also receive over double the amount of comments. Videos should be short (less than 1 minute) and should be on-brand. At Harp, we study statistics and trends to build high quality videos that provide the best performance for our clients. You can find out more about some of the statistics we use here.

So what are the options?

When producing a short film / 3d animation there are quite a few options to consider:

Voice Over? Voice over is a great tool if your short film requires more detailed explanations on specific features. It involves writing a script for the voice over artist to read/record and then editing the voice over with the music and visuals.

People and Vehicles? Depending on the project, adding people and vehicles helps to provide a dynamic and busy feeling. They can also help with a sense of scale and proportion.

Moving Objects? Depending on the project and storyboard there is the possibility of adding moving objects such as trees swaying in the breeze or water moving in a pool. Moving elements help to create realism and depth.

Intro/Outro? What would you like to use as an intro and outro to your film? Often things such as titles, logos and links to more info are suitable here.

Music? Do you want background music? If so, its a good idea to think about what style of music would best suit the film.

Text? Headings and text can help by adding an additional layer of information for the viewer. It will help your audience follow the story even when the sound is off. But its important to keep text short and to the point. Its also important to consider placement and how much screen space that text will take up and how this works with the visual and audio content. Text can also be a great way to add a call to action at the end of the video.

“A picture is worth a thousand words…. and a video is worth a million pictures”.
