Interactive media allures our visual stimulations more than anything, resulting more efficient intake. Information can be segregated when reading but with video, it’s a completely different story.

That is why movies are great at storytelling, that is why films became the biggest shift in the history of entertainment.

The Advantage of Motion Graphics

A video can be of any type, there are informational videos, promotional videos, and personal videos. All these kinds of videos have different effects on viewership. A renderforest study shows that, 97% of businesses said that explainer videos help users understand their businesses better. So in business, informational and promotional videos can be a game changer.

Only using human elements in a promotional video can limit the visual from explaining things with its full potential. That is where motion graphic (A.K.A animation) comes into play. In animation, the only limit you have is your imagination. So when sky is the limit anything is possible.

Trying to explain a difficult concept? Create animated videos. Animation can bring concepts to life that no text or live video can.
