Motion Graphics

Your guide to motion graphics

If you’ve delved into the video marketing world, there’s no doubt you would have come across the term ‘motion graphics’ at some point. Like most industries, video has its jargon terms that sound a lot more complex than they actually are.

So what are motion graphics and why are they so popular? Put simply, it’s basically an animation technique in which images, letters, objects, video and sound combine to tell a story. It can be incredibly effective in presenting a complex idea or promoting a product. Over the years, we’ve found videos that use motion graphics, to be some of our most successful and popular videos.

The way people consume content is always changing and in a time poor world, we’ve seen a huge shift towards video content in recent years that continues to gain momentum.

How will you stand out from your competitors in 2017?

We’re almost at that time of the year again when Santa pays us a visit and we all eat way too much! It’s now that a lot of businesses will find themselves winding up for the year and perhaps even looking ahead to 2017. Of course, many business owners will be asking themselves:

What can we do differently next year to stand out from our competitors?

While a good portion of companies would have at least dabbled with some kind of video (web video production, animation, corporate videos and so on), there’s so much potential for video to help your business in 2017. If you haven’t even experimented with video up to this point, you need to realise that you’re missing out on capturing a huge chunk of your market.

Internet Video Production Melbourne

Harnessing the power of the internet to boost business heading into Christmas

If there’s one thing the internet has succeeded in doing in relation to business, it’s that it has evened the playing field. When we first entered the video business back in 1998, it was pretty much only larger companies with higher profits who could afford to throw a decent amount of money towards advertising with video.

These days, thanks largely to the internet, we’re seeing businesses of all sizes coming to us who are interested in our internet video production services. It’s not too difficult to see why either: when it comes to using marketing online for business growth, there’s never been a better time to explore how video can slot into your current marketing mix.

On the flip side, with so many companies now able to afford online marketing, competition is fiercer than ever and we’re all competing with huge amounts of online noise. This applies to all industries – just think of your Facebook feed. When you log into your account, how many items do you see on your newsfeed instantly? You’re likely to find a combination of post types – videos, news articles, posts from your friends and so on.
