Overview

In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, video has become an essential tool for communication, training, and brand storytelling. It captures attention, simplifies complex ideas, and engages audiences more effectively than text or static visuals alone. Whether used for internal training, marketing, or thought leadership, video enables businesses to connect with their employees, clients, and stakeholders in a dynamic and impactful way. In my work, I have focused on three key types of corporate videos: explainer videos, events and interviews, tutorial videos.

Role

Depending on the project, I was typically taking care of the entire production process from start to finish. For smaller projects, I handled everything myself, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. For larger productions, I coordinated and delegated tasks such as illustration and animation to colleagues, ensuring high-quality results while managing the bigger picture. I was responsible for every stage of production, including initial client communication, brainstorming ideas, storyboarding, illustrating, animating, and occasionally even recording voiceovers. This hands-on approach allowed me to maintain creative control while adapting to the unique needs of each project.

Some Challenges

Multiple Decision-Makers: Some projects involved a lengthy approval process, which extended delivery timelines. However, this also provided an opportunity to refine the content further, ensuring that every stakeholder’s perspective was considered, ultimately leading to a more polished final product.

Strict Brand Guidelines: Working with a predominantly grayish colour palette and a fixed illustration style presented a creative challenge. Since maintaining visual excitement was not easy, I focused on engaging the audience through dynamic animations and interesting transitions.

Corporate Environment: At times, problem-solving required creative workarounds. For example, when access to external vendors wasn’t available, I successfully organized on-site voiceover recordings, ensuring the project stayed on track without compromising quality.

Tools

The explainer videos were animated primarily using Adobe After Effects, with the Duik plugin for character rigging, making animation smoother and more efficient. For final compositing, Adobe Premiere Pro was occasionally used to refine and polish the edits. Illustration assets were created and prepared in Adobe Illustrator, ensuring well-structured layers for import into After Effects. Additionally, InVision was sometimes utilized for brainstorming and presenting ideas to stakeholders.
