ANIMATED FILMS

Animated films are films created through the interplay of images, movement and sound. In contrast to live-action films, the scenes and characters in animated films are created using graphic or computer-based animation techniques. This makes it possible to bring imaginative worlds, impossible scenarios and vivid characters to life.

There are different types of animated films including 2D animation, 3D animation, stop motion animation and combinations of different techniques. Each of these techniques has its own specific characteristics and applications. Animated films can be produced in the form of short films, TV series, feature films or commercials.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ANIMATED FILM?

The main purpose of animated films is to tell stories, visualize ideas, and create emotional connections. They offer a number of advantages over live-action films:

Creative freedom: Animated films allow filmmakers to explore unlimited creative possibilities. They can create fantastical worlds, circumvent the laws of physics, and portray characters with unique traits and abilities.

Visual Aesthetics: Animation can create vivid colors, stunning visual effects, and stylized representations. The visual aesthetics of animated films can have a profound impact, immersing audiences in another world.

Audience Flexibility: Animated films have the ability to appeal to a wide audience. They can be suitable for both children and adults and cover different genres and themes.

Conveying complex messages: Animated films are able to convey complex messages, social commentary or metaphorical concepts in a visually appealing and accessible way. By combining images, text and music, they can convey information in an effective and easily understandable way.

Timeless effect: Animated films often have a timeless effect and can last for generations. By using stylized animation techniques, they can stand out from current trends and technological developments.

Wide range of applications: Animated films are used in various fields such as entertainment, advertising, education and marketing. They can be used for pure entertainment purposes as well as for conveying information, training or as artistic expression.

TIPS FOR YOUR ANIMATED FILM

Do you want to have an animated film produced? Here's how to successfully commission a production company for your animation:

1. Define clear objectives and the target audience:

Think about what you want your animated film to achieve - for example, communicating complex information, increasing brand awareness or attracting new customers. Define who the film should appeal to so that the style and content can be tailored accordingly.

2. Choose the right animation format:

Decide which format is best suited to your message: 2D animation, 3D animation, motion graphics, whiteboard animation or a mixture of different styles. Seek advice from the production company.

3. Check the production company's portfolio and experience:

Take a look at their previous work. Make sure that the style and quality of the animations meet your requirements. Particularly important: Does the company have experience in your industry or with similar projects?

4. Create a precise briefing:

Give the production company as many details as possible. These include:

  • Core message: what do you want the movie to convey?
  • Tone and style: Should the film be informative, emotional, humorous or serious?
  • Length and format: How long should the film be and where will it be shown (e.g. social media, website, presentations)?

5. Set a realistic budget and time frame:

Animated films can be more complex and time-consuming than live action film productions. Plan a realistic budget and allow sufficient time for the concept phase, animation and revisions.

6. Clarify all legal and contractual issues:

Discuss:

  • Rights of use: Who owns the rights to the animation and elements (e.g. character design, sound effects)?
  • Revision options: How many rounds of revisions are included in the quote?
  • Delivery formats: What formats will the finished movie be delivered in?

7. Work closely with the production company:

Be in contact throughout the process. Especially in the concept and storyboard phase, your feedback is crucial to ensure that the animation reflects your vision.

8. Pay attention to storytelling and visual consistency:

The animated film should tell a clear and compelling story that appeals to your target group. Make sure that the colors, character design and visual elements match your brand.

9. Test and optimize the film before release:

Get feedback, e.g. from employees, partners or test groups. Check whether the message is clear and whether the animation achieves the desired effect.

10. Plan distribution and measure success:

Think about how the film will be used - on your website, in social media campaigns or at trade fairs. Use tools to measure reach and engagement and optimize distribution accordingly.

With these tips, you can ensure that your animated film is professionally produced and conveys your message creatively and effectively. FIND OUT MORE about how Drehstrom Filmproduktion works or GET IN TOUCH if you would like more information or a quote for your animated film.
