The Whiteboard Dilemma
(not really)
It’s all about style....
Whiteboard videos can come in different styles. Some of our clients prefer the more traditional “cartoon” style that’s more loosely drawn, is more informal and has fewer details. Other clients prefer a more illustrative style - with greater accuracy of line, form and function.
What’s right for your company? Much depends on your message and audience.
“Cartoony” videos are usually lighter in mood and better for conveying emotion. More technical or illustrative videos are better at conveying technical information.
For example, if you’re manufacturing baby wipes, a softer approach with a bit of humor and an appeal to the Moms works well with a looser artistic style. Drawings of the wipes themselves simply don’t need a tightly-engineered approach.
A video about a more complex product - say, stem spacers for serious bicycling enthusiasts - requires more accurate drawings for the clearest understanding of form and function.
If whiteboard won’t quite fit your needs, there are other options
Check out these examples below for a clear look at the differences in whiteboard styles, and more.
