Animation Video Production – a new addition to Ydraw’s company specialties.
The process to complete a short 1 min 30 second video is much like the video scribing process, where creativity, technical skill, and detailed drawings play big roles in completing a successful animated video.
The animation production process is much like that of Ydraw’s video scribing and whiteboard animation process. Introducing Ydraw’s animation based video and going trough the steps below will give viewers a better understanding on how animated videos are created, and what clients can do to help along the processes for a great video. Though it tends to be a long process, Ydraw is a company that meets the needs of all clientele, working to provide the best services, in the least amount of time, for the best price.
The Development Phase
Determine the Parameters: The length, style (whether cartoon based or realistic), number of characters, if there is dialogue, how many scene changes to have, and what the target resolution is.
After the parameters are determined, there are five simple steps to completing the first phase:
- Story Development: Plan out the Plot, Conflict, and Characters to be used in your story
- Scripting and Outlining: Physically write out the complete animation production story, or outline it on paper
- Designing Characters: Draw out how each character should look
- Environment Design: Draw out how the environments and props should look
- Storyboarding: Draw out the main scenes for later use in references and planning animation
The Pre-Production Phase
Digital Element Creation: record and process the animation production vocals first. Then it is time to turn the storyboards into a video with the vocals. After this, model all the characters, environments, and objects, and then apply all the materials and textures to the modeling. Now it is time to rig your characters, test the animations, then decide where the render files are going to save and how much space is needed for them.
The Shot Phase
Assembling Each Shot: Pre-plan camera movements for minimal animation time, use rough animated solid objects to time everything correctly, and preview everything for precise timing of each shot. Characters then should be precisely animated and fixed to perfection, so everything works smoothly and correctly. This is also the time where lighting and render tests should be done, to get more work out of the way. Once the animation production is completely rendered and everything is spot on, do the final rendering for the final images.
The Post-Production Phase
The Final Touches: replace the animation with the renders, add layers of background and sound effects, have a composer write a score or find royalty-free music to accompany the animation production, combine the music an sounds to balance the video, and add titles, credits, and combined picture with sound.
The End
Now That the 4 Phases are finished, the animation video is ready to be released. Ydraw’s animation production is precise, detailed, and worked to perfection. Who would have thought it took so many processes to make a simple clip of an animation video?

The Mitt Romney Video will shed a little light on the Real Mitt Romney. 2012 is a big election and the vote has come down to Mitt Romney vs Obama. With out further Ado here is Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney Video
The Mitt Romney video sheds some light on the reasons that Mitt Romney should be elected President in the 2012 Elections. The Mitt Romney Video began as a simple idea and Ydraw made it all come to life. The script took a little bit of time because of the delicate subject of politics, religion, and elections. The Mitt Romney video script needed to be powerful yet entertaining. It is not an easy thing to talk politics because no matter what kind of video is produced, the haters will be haters and the lovers will be lovers. Something new about the Mitt Romney video scribing videos is the end slide. Where we did a caricature of Mitt Romney. We actually love this type of video scribing and we call it the Bio Video. It works great for introducing speakers or creating a bio for anyone. We actually took colored pencil, which we have never tried before, to bring out some of the colors. Obviously it is blended in with markers to get the nice shiny colors but nonetheless the pencils were interesting. We really enjoyed creating Mitt Romney vs Obama video and we hope everyone will enjoy it.

Script for Mitt Romney vs Obama Video
Many of you understand the desperate situation that America is in these days. If not wake up and a look around. If we don’t change soon the words of Thomas Jefferson will come true that is “we the people will wake up one-day homeless on a continent our forefathers once conquered…”

Animated doodle videos are constantly being viewed everywhere. They might just be the next big thing in video marketing. Ydraw thinks so, and this is why they released a new animated doodle video exclusively for Beat Generals.
Animated doodle videos are the next marketing trend.
Ydraw recently created a video for Beat Generals using rapid drawn animation to entice viewers and get more video views. These unique presentations are being watched over and over again, because of the enticing sketch art and video animation drawn by the most qualified artists.
Doodles that are used in rapid drawn animation are hand scribed by professional artists including those who have created video animation for many treasured Disney films.
The video scribing process is done in stages.
First the client fills out a detailed questionnaire. After this, the scripting begins. Once the scripting is complete, it is time to storyboard the doodles to create a video that flows together. Next the animated doodle video artists take over and complete the artwork, and the video is then edited and refined to create an outstanding scribed doodle video.
Stop motion videos are nothing compared to Ydraw’s animation style and delivery. There is no other animated doodle video company out there that can give clients a clean, detailed, customized video with better quality than Ydraw’s detailed doodles.
Video marketing professionals are always looking for the next big thing in videos
Low and behold, it has arrived. But it isn’t just about the video, the doodles, and the animation, it is also about staying on top of the new trends in video advertising, and tweaking videos so they are always ahead of the new and improved video marketing strategies.
