Slidesho was approached to create a standout introduction to Ukufu via a promotional animated video. The video was required to provide a clear overview of Ukufu’s features, benefits, and overall capabilities.
Before creating the presentation, Slidesho consulted closely with the client to ensure we had a clear understanding of the key fundamentals that needed to be featured. Our job was to promote and highlight everything of relevance into the short duration of a 60-second video, while also making it visually impactful. Part of the brief was to also include a narration with an American accent which meant working with the client to develop the script.
As a result, Slidesho delivered a succinct animated video that effectively conveyed our client’s key messages, was easy to digest and simple to follow. The animated presentation was created entirely in PowerPoint, with the addition of the voice-over. The voice-over was then synched to the animations and exported as a movie file ready for upload on platforms such as Vimeo, YouTube or the client’s website. We also created a much smaller file to allow for sharing of the video by smartphone.
