In addition, animated videos bring even more advantages over real films.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 7 top advantages of animated videos:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>1. timeless with long quality of life<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nRegardless of whether it&#8217;s a cheap or expensive real film spot: an old commercial, for example from the 70s, is simply outdated and is reluctantly used any longer.<br \/>\nEven videos from the 90s seem &#8220;oldschool&#8221; today. Animated videos, on the other hand, are timeless.<br \/>\nAnd if there is something outdated in the video after all, you can edit it afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>2. more visually influential<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn times of information overload, it is becoming increasingly difficult to place the right messages with the recipient.<br \/>\nIn real films, just as in real life, there are often too many messages on a visual level:<br \/>\nSigns, clues, explosions, people, traffic, etc.<br \/>\nHumans are overwhelmed by this and can only really absorb a minimal percentage.<br \/>\nAnimation is a better and clearer way to convey a simple and focused view of the story.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>3. cheaper production costs<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe cost of filming is eliminated because you don&#8217;t need actors, a film crew, or permits for locations. In addition, you have the advantage that the most expensive live-action sequences, such as explosions, helicopter flights or action scenes, can be easily and inexpensively implemented using animation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>4.explain abstract ideas better<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nEspecially when it comes to videos as corporate films, where mostly processes and structures are to be integrated or background knowledge from technology, science or IT is to be integrated, a visual representation is helpful.<br \/>\nAnimated, abstract processes can be implemented more easily through shapes, colors, steps and numbers than in a real film.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>5. statistics and graphics can be displayed better<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIf you like to integrate facts and figures in the corporate film, it will be difficult with a real film.<br \/>\nNothing is more attractive than packing powerful numbers into images and animating them dynamically and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>6. changeable afterwards<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn addition to point 1 (the temporal update), there may of course be other reasons to change the video afterwards.<br \/>\nNew company name, change or addition of the product, additional languages or a new CI (Corporate Identity) can be reasons for a necessary addition.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><br \/>\n7. it is international<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAnyone who has ever seen an old Asian fighting film or a commercial from Russia will know immediately what is meant.<br \/>\nThe appearance of the actors, the accessories or the filming location give a lot about the location and the culture.<br \/>\nThat can be quite beautiful: However, when it comes to winning or convincing customers on an international level, it can be a barrier.<br \/>\nAnimated videos can be used to depict neutral-looking figures and objects to appeal to as many cultures as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, live video has its place and is certainly an effective and good marketing tool in the video marketing space.<br \/>\nBut ultimately, it depends on the goals, intentions and values you want to convey, as well as the budget that plays a role in your considerations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often hear from interested customers and entrepreneurs that they hesitate to request an animated video: Real film videos are colorful and emotional and you can show products and services &#8220;live&#8221;.
