Different Video Styles

Filming On Location

Filming at your location (or live-action videos), bring authenticity and relatability to your brand. You create a genuine connection with your audience by showcasing your employees, your customers and your workplace. It is a style that is particularly effective for many businesses such as the hospitality industry. Imagine inviting potential customers into your restaurant, allowing them to experience the ambience and warmth that sets your establishment apart.

Animation Videos

Animation Videos offer boundless creative opportunities. It allows you to craft narratives in ways limited only by your imagination. Animation Video breathes life into concepts for educational platforms, turning study into an adventure. Leading Institutes such as The Australian National University and TAFE NSW make use of vibrant characters and dynamic visuals in their learning videos to captivate their students and keep them engaged.

Motion Graphics Videos

Motion Graphics are the go-to choice when you need to convey complex information succinctly. This style of video employs visual elements such as text, shapes, and imagery to deliver information dynamically. For tech companies like Dropbox and Asana, when introducing ground-breaking products, Motion Graphics Videos effectively highlight new features and benefits.

Matching Style To Brand Personality

Understanding your brand’s personality is crucial in selecting the right video style. Are you playful and energetic, or professional and authoritative? Let your brand’s character guide your choice of video style.

Consider Audience Engagement

Knowing your audience is an important step. What are their preferences? What challenges do they face? Tailoring your video style to their tastes ensures it speaks directly to their needs and interests. If you’re targeting a tech-savvy audience for instance, a combination of filming with motion graphics can deliver information succinctly, mirroring their fast-paced, information-hungry lifestyles.

Budget And Resources

Budget considerations play a significant role in the decision-making process. Filming on Location videos often involve actors, location scouting and equipment rental, which can all add up in costs. If resources are limited, animation offers a cost-effective solution as there is no filming involved.

Choosing the right video style is a strategic decision. By understanding your brand’s personality, audience preferences, and budget constraints, you can make an informed choice that resonates with viewers and leaves a lasting impression.
