BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Mareena is a civic organization assisting refugees and foreigners in their integration into society. We run community events, educational programmes, volunteer community and awareness-raising activities. I am responsible for project management, methodic support and research.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Moodive Studio, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop a video explainer for the community involvement methodology we developed with our partners in one of our international projects. We aimed for a concise, attractive video, which could explain our approach and motivate the audience to check further project materials and become active. At the same time, we needed to do DTP for the text of the project Handbook, which had to match the video design.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We looked for video production companies and after reviewing the offers, we decided for Moodive. The main deciding factors were their responsiveness, helpfulness, interest, nice communication, professional approach, acceptable timeline and price which considered our position as nonprofit. I also liked that we were offered various options (levels) of video production at the very beginning.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

Initially, we developed the script for the video and the main illustrations. Then we worked on storyborading and matching the right visualisations for the video with the text. Simultaneously, we worked on inserting the illustrations into the Handbook.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with the CEO, and the account manager. Thanks to frequent email communication we could regularly give feedback and and progress with the production.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The video or the handbook will be presented at a public event next week, so unfortunately no feedback so far. But among the project partners, both products were received very well!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I need to acknowledge that both the CEO and the account manager communicated very promptly and were flexible to our needs (communicating with multiple people across countries, in various languages) - this was very unique. We communicated via phone, video calls, and emails. They were very helpful and willing to adapt to our needs during the entire process.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Openness, flexibility, adaptability, professional, and kind approach.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not really. I hope we can cooperate in the future.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am Lead Marketing Manager at a full-service digital marketing and web development agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Moodive Studio?

Our client requested for a short animated video that would explain their services in a fun and engaging way.

What were your goals for this project?

To create an engaging animated video that could be displayed on their website and social media. The goal was to clearly convey their unique service in a simple minute long video that would be fun to watch and easy to understand.

SOLUTION

How did you select Moodive Studio?

Moodive had a lot of positive reviews and I was very impressed by their portfolio of work.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The process started with a submission of all client assets, proposed script and mandatory expectations I had of the video. From there, we communicated almost daily, reviewing script suggestions, storyboards, voice recordings, sketches and the full animation.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Tomas would clearly communicate the next phase of the process and what I should expect with the next revision. He would provide his feedback when applicable and work with me on revisions that I requested.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Haven't shared it publicly yet!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They were very effective. We communicated almost daily.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their project management and communication skills and their ability to take my vision (with little background on the client) and bring my goal for the client to life!

Are there any areas for improvement?

There were a few instances where I asked a question and didn't receive a response to all questions asked. I also think it would've been beneficial to have a better understanding of the revision process since it seems that you'll have multiple revisions available throughout the process.

Example, I was told that the voice over actor did not allow for revisions (after only hearing the actor read the script one time). Tomas made an exception and had it revised, but I found that strange not having an option to request at least a revision or two.

We are the first company to offer long-term investment signals based on market sentiment. You can find us at https://www.cryptocaptain.com/

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Moodive Studio?

We are convinced that a picture is worth a thousands words and because of that, we believe that a product video is the best way to spark the interest of prospective clients.

Since we are a small startup with no expertise in video production we were looking for someone who can create a captivating animation about our products and services.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted short (15 sec) and long (75 sec) animated product videos, which we were intending to use for an online marketing campaign as well as on our website.

Our goal was to attract the interest of potential customers as well as improve the conversion rate of prospective customers.

SOLUTION

How did you select Moodive Studio?

We were looking at animation studios here on clutch which were within our budget and whose animation style matched our vision for the project. In this regard, Moodive was a really good fit and we got in touch with them.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The process of creating the video included (in this order):

1. Briefing
2. Video script
3. Voiceover
4. Storyboard
5. Sample animations
6. Background music
7. Sound effects as well as an active dialog and feedback from us on every step of the way.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

We stayed in touch with the Moodive team throughout the whole project. As a medium, we used WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Docs. Tomáš was sending frequent updates and was open to feedback and suggestions for improvement.

The video script and the visuals were shared in Dropbox and a Google Docs file and all people involved had an opportunity to write comments about what they liked and where they saw potential for improvement.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Here is the final result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLgzo_vW3Hc

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The whole process was seamless in our point of view.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Moodive was very attentive at every step of the way. They made sure that we are completely satisfied with the result before we continued to the next step. They are also amazing animators and offer great value for the money.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, we are very satisfied with the end result and the whole process of creating the video.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the creative director and owner of a full-service creative agency based in London. We provide online and offline graphic design services, and we have an additional office in Istanbul.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Moodive Studio?

We rely on them for video production and animation because we lack the inhouse resources for those services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve worked on so many projects together. Sometimes, they’ll spearhead the project from concept to post-production. Other times, we’ll give them a master design, which they adapt to video form. There are also instances where our clients give them their brand guidelines which they’ll adhere to in their production. They handle a wide range of video styles.

What is the team composition?

We work primarily with two teammates, but a larger team usually works alongside them.

How did you come to work with Moodive Studio?

They reached out to us via a mailing campaign. Their showreel caught my attention, so I got in touch with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $2,400 a month, which comes to around $19,200 total.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since February of 2020, and it’s an ongoing relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve been happy with them since the very first project. Major clients of ours have been extremely satisfied with their work.

How did Moodive Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re amazingly responsive and very quick in their turnaround. They’re accessible and always keep us in the loop. They’re also receptive to less positive feedback from third-party clients — in which case, they’ll be open to creating something totally new.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re exceptional in every sense.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should take them on for smaller projects and see how they deliver. That’s how we did it, and we’ve been very pleased.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for online marketing agency Harton as the account manager of the agency clients, who is reasponsible for all projects and cooperations with partners to be able to provide our clients a comprehensive marketing services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Moodive Studio?

Moodive Studio works for us from their beginning. We was one of their first client and from this time we cooperate at daily basis. Their do for us all animation work which we need - explainers, commercial video, animated gif, stories, ...

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal were to offer clients something extra, maximize their results, which we succeed in thanks to video marketing. We also start working on our own marketing campaign, video weekly news, etc. which is strongly supported from the Moodive.

SOLUTION

How did you select Moodive Studio?

Tomas start works for us as a freelance animation specialist and account manager responsible for all of our animation outputs, and we were very satisfied with his communication skills and outputs. It was two years ago, now the Moodive Studio has a great team of professional illustrators and animators and their work and especially communication is awesome.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

It depends on each project. When we making some short videos for social network ads, we give guys our graphic materials and they animate it. On the other side, when we need some explainer, presentation video or we plan to run a big video campaign we just give some brief from the client and guys from Moodive studio make everything else - from the scenario, illustrations to the final animation with voice-over.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

As I wrote great, their communication is fantastic, and there is nothing that can't be fixed. When Moodive makes some projects from scratch they have a great production process with a lot of steps and after each of these steps we can give them feedback and they don't continue to the next step of the product if we are not satisfied with the actual step.

We had some projects where we need a very fast turnaround so Tomas offered us the opportunity to rent an animator full time to handle this project. The animator was available almost 24/7 for us and he came a few times a week to our office where we can work directly at the feedbacks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I can share one campaign which we made last year for our clients. Moodive made for us serie of 5 short marketing video and one longer explainer video for B2B clients. There are the outputs: https://youtu.be/TADcpAX8ZRs https://youtu.be/Gr9lvFJ_Ruw https://youtu.be/uFGjVv0-E04 And the longer video https://youtu.be/0YIQgxd3XAY

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We always start with the meeting call, where Tomas introduces us to the team which will be working on this project. Thanks to our long-term partnership we know each other well so communication is as smooth as possible. We work a lot on some small video animations, stories for our client. So it works on a daily basis.

We have one shared drive with Moodive where we give them all materials and they put all outputs here. I don't think there has been a situation where we haven't met the deadline, and thanks to that the cooperation with them is better than have our own animator because sometimes we don't need them, sometimes we need 1 animator or full team.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I think that the cost/value ratio and their communication. There is nothing that the guys cannot handle and they always try to fit our budget and expectations. We have some project also with a different studio like Mynd, where the communication was very rough and slow and the production time was double than with Moodive, the second video for the same client we made with the Moodive we produced the final 120-sec video for just 3 weeks - better than 6-7 with Mynd.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None.
