The process behind animated videos
Our animation filmmaking follows a structured 6-step process, starting with a clear storyline, followed by a detailed script. Sketches and style are then developed to shape the film’s visual identity, leading to a storyboard that precisely outlines each scene. Production then brings the story to life and finally the finished video files are delivered.
1. Storyline
What is your message? What do you want to achieve with your visual product? What’s your quick elevator pitch on your story?
2. Manuscript
In collaboration with the company’s specialists, we write a draft of the script. We continuously add stage directions and so on.
3. Sketch and style
We settle on a style and outline the story. The flow and content of the narrative will become clear to you.
4. Storyboard
We draw, color and prepare a storyboard that is the basis for the final approval in your company.
5. Production
We bring illustrations, graphics and history to life. Note that when production is underway, only small changes can be made (to stay within budget).
6. Aflevering
In post-production, we prepare the final files and deliver them in the formats you need.

Need to know about animation
Animation videos, also known as explainer videos, are a popular tool for businesses. The videos are often placed on websites to quickly and engagingly summarize the company’s core message. There are many different types of animated films.
2D ANIMATION
2D animation the creation of objects that move in a two-dimensional environment. 2D animation is either done as traditional hand-drawn cell animation or using animation software. Today, you often see flat 2D characters and backgrounds set up in a 3D environment. It gives more life and depth.
Cut-out
This technique make use of flat characters (2D), props, and the light from materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric or images to make animation. Today most animators make cut-out animation using a computer, scanning images or adding vector graphics instead of real physical material. Also this type of technique can be set up in a 3D environment.
Draw-on-film
Drawn-on-film animation is also known as “direct” or animation without camera. It is a technique where the animator draws directly on the film itself. This way the images are drawn frame by frame. Today this is done digitally and in layers.
Motion Graphics
Motion Graphics are graphics that use video elements or graphic elements to create the illusion of life and movement. Today most professionals create motion graphics on computers via special software applications.
Speed drawing animtion
A speed drawing video (or whiteboard video) is a video showing an illustrator drawing live. Most often the video is cropped so that just the hands and the pen are in focus. Speed drawing videos are our core at Levende Streg.
Stop motion
Stop motion makes static objects appear as if they are moving. Remember “Walter and Grommit”? This technique is commonly used in claymation (figures made of clay / plasticine). At Levende Streg we have our own studio setup for recording stop motion videos.
Tradigital animation
Tradigital animation is a mix of 2D and 3D techniques. It enables the animator to put 2D characters into 3D space, where the puppets are rigged and moved around. This technique gives a very vivid perception of depth and is one of the most used animation techniques. We use the technique all the time in our production.
Whiteboard film
A whiteboard film is actually the same thing as a speed drawing video. A whiteboard film of high quality requires the right lighting and set-up in order to get that nice, white color without glare or unnatural shadows. We have our own studio for this type of videos.
