In the digital age, freelancers are handy to have around. When you need a small job doing, a specific skill implemented, or a low-budget, quick-fix option, they’re often the perfect solution.

However, when you’re dealing with a large-scale animated video production project, freelancers can take up more of your time and energy than you imagine.

With different time zones, different attitudes, and different visions for the project, managers (with a freelancer, that’s you!) often find themselves to be the bottleneck for all communications and workflows.

With an ever-expanding spiderweb of collaborations, deadlines, and submissions, even the best project managers struggle to keep up.

Let’s take a look at a few of the reasons why working with a full animated video production team will save you a big old sack full of headaches.

 

 

BENEFIT #1 PLAY THE SYSTEM

Visionary Digital Studios has been making videos for a while now. Like a crack team of navy seals, everybody in our team knows their roles, what they need to be doing, and when they need to do it.

We also know where problems can occur and have already put systems in place to avoid difficulties further down the line. For example, our storyboarding and illustrations process weeds out any tricky amendments before we get to the production stage, saving time and money during the final animation stage.

It’s little nuances like this that make all the difference in stopping your costs and time expenditure getting out of control.

 

 

BENEFIT #2 JACK OF FEW TRADES, MASTER OF ONE

When you’re dealing with freelancers, it can be costly to source new talent for each part of the project you need doing. So your freelancer will often take on parts of the project they simply haven’t trained on …

Questions like “can you also write the script?” start cropping up. Suddenly, your animator is also designing characters, your scriptwriter is doing the voice work, and your director is serving everybody coffee!

Whilst this seems like a solid time-saving strategy, it’s likely that you’ll end up with lacklustre quality in many of the key areas of your animated video.

The truth is, an animator is not a creative designer and a scriptwriter probably isn’t great at accents (and your director doesn’t know an espresso from their own elbow!).

When working with an Animated Video Production agency, you get professional quality script writing, professional graphic design, professional animation – all because our team of visionaries are specialists in their chosen fields.

 

 

BENEFIT #3 – A BETTER EXPERIENCE

When you have a full team at your disposal, you start to see the animated video project from a different point of view. Rather than spending your time focussing on deadlines, output, and problem-solving, you can turn your attention to top-level issues about the video’s creative direction.

Does the script capture your brand voice? Are the value propositions persuasive enough?

These are the kind of questions that you now have time to consider – they should be your main focus during the project, while we take on the leg work. And, with our carefully considered amendments system, you’ll have space to request changes and focus on the things that matter.

 

 

BENEFIT #4 – GUARANTEED OUTPUT

If you’ve ever had a freelancer go unresponsive half way through a project, you’ll understand what a nightmare this can be. Not only have you wasted time and money on getting the project this far, you’ll have to spend more time briefing a new freelancer to rebuild their half-finished work from scratch.

It can be enough to put your project in the ground for good.

With our animated video production team, this sort of eventuality simply can’t happen. Once you sign on with Visionary Digital Studios, you’re guaranteed we stay and get your project completed professionally because we always deliver quality work.
