What are Animated Learning Videos?

Before we dive into the video creation process, let’s take a deeper look at what animated learning videos actually are and how they influence your audience. Whether you’re a student, teacher, business owner, or brand ambassador, you’ve probably faced fear at one point in your life as you approached a deadline for an upcoming presentation or an upcoming quiz on various talents or skills that you’re expected to have.

Have No Fear

Animated training videos–sometimes referred to as animated learning videos–take the fear out of presenting to an audience and showcase the skills or special talents that an audience expects from you. Essentially, these videos deliver compelling stories that dictate a topic in a way that helps the viewer to better understand, engage and connect with what is being taught.

Deeper Connections

Animated learning videos diversify the way that topics are taught by your business or brand so that you can connect more deeply with your consumer audience. Using different approaches, various modes of teaching concepts, and delivering topical content through video, imagery, narration, and storytelling, animated training videos help you engage and educate your audience.

How to Make Animated Learning Videos

The Plan

What are the steps to creating animated learning videos for your business? It all begins with the planning of your video content. As you outline the animations and the storyline, consider the following:

• The script that you will use to dictate the narration or storyline of your video content.
• The shot breakdown and scene breakdown in a frame-by-frame manner.
• The characters and setting of your story.

The Storyboard

Storyboarding will build out much of the detail listed above as you focus on the animated video content that you’re creating. After that, you’re going to have to focus some time on determining the appropriate animation style for your video. Various types of animation exist. The most common forms of animation used in training or learning videos include:

• Animated typography
• 2D animation or cartoon style animation
• Animated infographics
• Whiteboard animations
• 3D animations
