Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We had the pleasure of working with Stepan from Step-Films on a demanding explainer video for our unique event software—covering multiple aspects and perspectives and addressing a C-level / executive audience from large publicly listed companies.

Stepan grasped the complex functionality of our software remarkably quickly and went far beyond understanding it on a surface level. His insights into dramaturgy and storyboard development were outstanding and added significant value to the overall concept. Together, we refined the script until it was precise, compelling, and perfectly on point.

Stepan also recommended the German and English voice talents, both of whom were an excellent fit from the start—so much so that we didn’t feel the need to review any alternatives.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Throughout the project, Stepan demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs, guided us confidently through the process, and consistently focused on what truly mattered. The final result is not just successful—it is a real achievement for us.

We fully trust Stepan’s expertise, will definitely collaborate with him again on future projects, and can recommend him without any reservation.

Commonly Asked Questions

We have the following production steps (STEPs): 1. Voice-over text 2. Screenplay (detailed descriptions of actions) 3. Storyboard (the story in still images) 4. Voice-over recording 5. Animation 6. Sound mix (sound design & music) Important: Each STEP builds on the previous one. After every STEP, there is a review phase with your feedback, corrections, and final approval. Only then do we move on to the next STEP. This continuous feedback process ensures that you receive exactly the product you want in the end.

Every client is different. Some come with detailed instructions and a finished storyboard, while others have only a rough idea. We adapt to each client and help determine what will work best in your case, how to create maximum impact, and showcase your product effectively. So don’t wait until you have a fully formed idea — contact us, and we’ll develop it together.

We use Generative AI to speed up the early stages like moodboarding and asset generation. However, the final animation, character consistency, and strategic storytelling remain 100% handcrafted by our senior designers to ensure high-end quality.

We completely understand your need for a fixed price range. However, giving an honest answer without knowing the details is almost impossible. It is very much like asking, "How much does a car cost?" To give you an idea of why the price varies, here are just a few "features" that go into our "production engine": Length: Duration of the final video. Style: Is it minimalistic or high-end? Corporate Design: Integration of your specific brand guidelines. Deadlines: How fast do you need the result? Production Tools: 2D, 3D, or cutting-edge AI-video technology. Complexity: Simple motions vs. intricate character animations. Voiceover: Choice of professional speakers and languages. Sound Design: Custom sound effects and professional audio mixing. ... and much more. Our advice: Don't hesitate to contact us with your ideas! As soon as we learn a bit more about your vision, we can provide you with a realistic price range and the certainty you need for your planning.

Every project at STEP-Film starts with a thorough analysis of your brand guidelines. We ensure that colors, typography, and the overall visual language are 100% compliant with your existing corporate identity, regardless of the animation style chosen.
