Animation vendor services providing elearning animations and videos

K-12 Content Solutions team provides animation vendor services for creating motivating, and intellectually stimulating eLearning animations for digital learning courses. We customize animated learning as per the audience, the subjects, the specific styles, and colors matching with your school, university, or corporate brand.   

We recognize the importance of visuals. Impactful arts and illustrations are created for the visuals in the animation to depict the real-life situations in eLearning video animations. The complicated concepts are broken down into more accessible and easier to understand ideas, thus ensuring an engaging learning experience for the learners. Our animators make sure that your video-based content is enhanced with animations, infusing an aesthetic charm into the educational training materials.

To elevate the learning experiences, animations are designed through a process that shall enhance knowledge retention and skill application. Thus, we give importance to each step in the animation production process. We ensure that the storyboards/scripts are pre-approved by relevant stake holders in each project to avoid missing on any key concept or ideas. Then we move on to asset design and illustrations creating the characters, objects, backdrops as needed, etc. thus setting up the individual scenes. Individual characters are rigged to ensure movements in the animation. A flawless timed motion is then developed by working on distinct key frames with a combination of sound effects, music, voice-over, or a mix of these.

We have delivered hundreds of captivating animated educational videos for primary and secondary schools. Leveraging our expertise, we moved on to Higher-Ed and corporate training animated videos. For the last few years, we have been developing enjoyable lessons for both adults and children, catering to a wide range of objectives.

Different Types of Animation Services Offered by K-12 Content Solutions

• 2D animations are considered suitable for storytelling purposes and for clarifying the understanding of complex concepts with the help of visually appealing characters and engaging narratives. They provide the target audience with enjoyable and relevant learning experiences. Such animated content can be viewed clearly on screens of all resolutions including smartphones, websites, LMS pages and any other platform. 
• 3D animations are very useful for subjects such as science and engineering that focus on spatial perception that captures the learners’ attention by enhancing their ability to form ideas and pictures in their mind for relevant concepts and situations thus creating almost realistic simulations.
• Whiteboard animations can be considered a viable alternative for helping learners understand concepts and processes, such as steps to be followed in mathematical problems or corporate workflows, through simple and convincing sketching techniques that describe information without adding unnecessary details. These types of animations replicate the essence of a trainer demonstrating the concepts on a whiteboard that can be relatable and useful to gather information.
• Typography animation can immerse the audience in detailed presentations or informative videos by utilizing animated text to emphasize the main message during corporate presentations, awareness campaigns, and educational programs. Such animations also help to improve retention rates for small concepts/information.

Why custom animations from K-12 Content Solutions are important?

Whether you have an in-house team, or you want to outsource the development to an animation vendor, getting your own customized animations is always preferred over using the pre-developed animations from a library/agency. Customization helps to enhance the brand loyalty because of the following benefits:

1. The developer team can adjust the animation style to make it suitable for a particular topic and target audience to ensure that the visual elements resonate with learners.
2. Creating a balance between color scheme and brand image, leads to developing a coherent visual identity that brings appreciation and engagement.
3. Different animation styles can be tailored based on the analytical skills and affective aspects of the audience.

The Animation Production Process

1. The first step is to get a script and convert it to a detailed storyboard based on the identification of the target audience and learning objectives, by brainstorming of unique ideas. The acceptance of the storyboard by the relevant stakeholders of the project ensures that all crucial concepts are included and animation corresponds with learning goals. The storyboard works as a rough draft of an animation that defines each scene, sequence of events, and essential visual elements that develop scripts explaining the narration, dialogues, and onscreen text.
2. As a second step, the designing team members including the skilled artists, illustrators, and instructional designers work closely to develop characters, objects, and scenes adapted to the task demands. This step establishes the foundation for the animation and provides powerful visual representation. Each element is properly defined to match with the targeted theme and learning goals. The outcome of second step is commonly called as the VSB or the Visual Storyboard.
3. Once the visual storyboard is signed-off, the individual characters are rigged to ensure smooth movements and include different poses of each character that encourages a naturalistic animation for improved storytelling. Each scene involved in animation is systematically composed, blending elements such as transitions, visual effects, and camera angles.
4. Developers in the fourth step focus on creating appealing animation using distinctive keyframes, maintaining accurate timing and synchronization of movements that can be accomplished by sound effects, music, and voiceover to keep learners engaged and immersed through the dynamic elements. The final animations encounter robust quality assurance to ensure that they align with high-quality standards for maintaining accuracy, multimedia consistency, and integration of audio with visual elements.
5. As a last step, K-12 content solution team acknowledges the learners feedback and makes appropriate modifications for fulfilling their expectations in refining the final product.

Why animations are becoming a preferred mode of training in eLearning:

• Many research studies have found that visual elements can boost memory capacity and comprehension skills that help to provide an unforgettable learning experience.
• Depiction of real-life situations through animation can guide learners to apply their skills in realistic scenarios effectively.
• Detailed information presented in the animated videos can make learners become engrossed to avoid unwanted distractions and remain dedicated towards their educational journey.
• Intellectually stimulating eLearning animation can help to reduce complicated ideas into easily understandable components to ensure that learners become familiar with the content.
• Animated content can be adjusted to the different learning styles that suit the needs of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners, leading to cost-effective eLearning content creation that can be redesigned and formulated for different purposes.
• Animated content can benefit Higher-Ed students as it interprets the meaning of intricate theories, scientific phenomena, and theoretical concepts with the help of simulation, diagrammatic representations, and naturalistic visual effects, that provide them with comprehensive information and understanding of the context of the situations.
• Animations for corporate trainings incorporate practical learning scenarios and gaming elements to develop skill development programs, compliance training sessions, and leadership growth strategies that help to make learning productive and satisfying for corporate employees.

Tips to animators for the animation production process

Here is a list of things that we suggest to our team (and every animator in general) to improve their efficiency and productivity:

• It is important for animators to collect source material for movement, environment, and style through observation of real-life activity that enhances the credibility of visual representation.
• Timing and spacing are considered crucial factors for producing naturalistic and engaging movements with the help of animation principles.
• Animators should develop a habit of consistently saving their work and keep regular backups to avoid loss of progress due to technical errors.
• Animators shall join the experts’ community for constructive criticism regarding their work that leads to innovative ideas and creative solutions.
• It can be beneficial to maintain crucial documents, resources, and detailed information in a consistent manner that creates a structured work routine and decreases performance anxiety.
• The animator should follow reasonable deadlines and divide tasks into manageable goals that can help to keep them intrigued with the project and increase their motivation levels.
• Animators can improve their creative abilities by becoming aware of the latest tools and strategies and participating in online courses and workshops that prove to be valuable for them with regular breaks between their work to prevent burnout.
