I know many of you have been waiting to see our new 2D and 3D animation videos. Well your wait is over! You can check them out below.
3D animation pros and cons
Up until now, 3D animation videos have been way out of budget for most companies. We have since found a way to produce them for a lot less.
Pro:
- Unique and very fun to watch.
- Full movement and animation.
- You can bet your competitors will not have one. At least not yet.
- There retention rate is pretty good.
- They are amazing.
Con:
- They take about 45 days to create
- They are not the cheapest. They run about 8K per 30 seconds
2D animation pros and cons
2D explainer videos have been around for a few years and there are a lot of companies that can create them, but they still are fun and way better than live video.
Pro:
- Unique and very fun to watch
- Completed in about 35 days
- Full animation
- Brand your company
Con:
- Cost is higher than your typical whiteboard video
Obviously you need to do what is best for you business. I have seen amazing whiteboard videos, 2D animation videos and 3D videos. Just make sure they are fun, unique and tell a great story.
Have a great day!

1. Whiteboard Video
Our whiteboard videos continue to outperform all other types of video. Many of them have a 75% retention rate. They are still a hot commodity so look for our new innovations in whiteboard animation videos, this also includes the yswipe videos.

2. 3d Animation
Up until now, 3d animation videos have been very expensive. They take a lot of time and collaboration just to get started. Ydraw is about to change this. We now have a team of 3d animators. A lot of companies will spend $20,000 for a simple 2D animation video, but now they can have a 3D video. Check out our screen shots. We will have it completed next week for the whole world to see.
3. Animation Videos
It is hard to get away from the standard animation videos. We have been very hesitant to enter this field due to the fact that their are a lot of good companies creating simple animation videos. They can also be called After Effect videos. If we can not be the absolute best then we usually do not enter the game. That is going to change in 2014. Ydraw is now going to offer simple animation/After Effects videos. We have been seeing a lot of junk being produced and we know we can produce a lot better quality for the same price. Plus, we have the talent to make it happen. Our animation demo video will be launched next week. Here is a nice picture to give you a preview.
Get ready to order your new Whiteboard Video, 3D Animation Video, or your Standard Animation Video.
