Process

Each project is a new challenge. We have developed a two-phase process, balancing efficiency and creativity.

· Consultancy and Idea generation.

First of all we have a meeting to get to know your brand and capture your aims and needs. We ask you to complete our creative brief. Then we write a script.

· Production and Delivery.

We create a storyboard. We do two style-frames and record the voice-over. After that, we design all the scenes and share with you an animatic (a static pre-visualization of the video). Finally, we animate the designs, add music and sound effects.

We would love to hear from you.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of Tom’s Cabin. We specialize in content creation and video communication. When companies want to communicate with video, we help them make that happen.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with minimalia?

We needed someone to produce animated videos for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We have four or five projects a year with minimalia. The videos are between 30 seconds to two minutes long, and they handle everything from production to editing.

We start by giving minimalia a briefing of what we’re looking for: what the video should look like and the purpose of the video. Following that, they give me an estimate of the cost, which we always negotiate upfront so there aren’t any wrong expectations from both sides. Once approved, we begin working together. 

Our collaborations are always very nice because they respect deadlines and agreements that are made. They also deliver very good quality of work. They are also very proactive and suggest things so that we end up with a good video that we and the client are very happy with.

What is the team composition?

I work with one person from minimalia.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent €7,000–€8,000 Euros (approximately $7,800–$8,900 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in June 2017, and we are still working with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They are usually right on track with what we need. My clients are also always happy with the results. We are very happy to work with them.

How did minimalia perform from a project management standpoint?

They are very good at meeting deadlines. Communication is also very clear and has been very good; minimalia always responds to our messages.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I find their style of animation and the way they work to be really good.

Are there any areas they could improve?

For the moment, I am quite happy with everything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Definitely work with them.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Internal stakeholders report that minimalia has had an immeasurable impact on their business. Clients are also extremely pleased with their work. Professional and timely, the team exhibits tasteful creative judgment. They offer reasonable industry prices.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the general manager and producer at Clickable Video, a production company in Belgium. We mainly produce corporate videos and video marketing campaigns.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with minimalia?

We needed help with video production.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

minimalia has primarily produced content for our large, international clients. They’ve done motion graphics and some animation. The videos are between 1– 5 minutes. They produced a video for one of our larger clients, a subsidiary of a multinational imaging corporation, detailing their digital services. More specifically, the video explains how they use a complex process to screen data and ensure it’s safe. They also produced a video for a client that transfers old infrastructure processes to new processes for major financial, aviation, and international companies. The video explains how they provide this new way of working and why their services are reliable.  

We communicate with our client about what they want and what message they wish to send, and then we create the script and the message. We also look for a specific style or genre. Once we have that, we communicate with Yasmin (Founder/Creative Director, minimalia) and get her opinion. minimalia then creates the storyboard; once that’s approved, they continue with the animation.

What is the team composition?

My point of contact is Yasmin. We usually work with 3–4 other people, depending on the project. 

How did you come to work with minimalia?

I saw Yasmin’s work on Vimeo and contacted her.

How much have you invested with them?

My company spends €5,000–€15,000 (approximately $5,500–$16,500 USD) each year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2011, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The whole process has been terrific. We have very happy clients and recurring clients. It’s impossible to say how much of an impact they’ve had on our business.

How did minimalia perform from a project management standpoint?

Yasmin is a true professional. What’s really awesome about her is that she has excellent taste, which is very important in the line of work that she does. She’s extremely reliable and delivers when she says she will.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I recommend minimalia. They do excellent, high-quality work, and they’re extremely reliable.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing bad I can say about them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Start working with them. I recommend using them.

Feedback summary: 

The efforts resulted in a great final video, satisfying the client and leading to continued business for the studio. minimalia displayed a strong ability to convey the desired messaging to the right audience. Their expertise in video production was valuable and made for a smooth engagement. 

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Studio Carreras, a design and illustration studio.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with minimalia?

We hired minimalia because our client needed an animated explainer video, rather than a single image.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I worked with Yasmin (Founder & Creative Director, minimalia) on the visual identity. For the video itself, their team was responsible for using our client’s scripts, designing the slides, and animating everything. We collaborated on the design process. 

Once the video was complete, they handled all the editing and arranging the scenes. They added all the finishing touches, including the audio. The final video was around one minute long. 

What is the team composition?

I only worked directly with Yasmin.

How did you come to work with minimalia?

I considered a few companies from my area, but minimalia caught my attention because we were working in the same coworking space. Once we got to know each other and appreciate each other’s work, we agreed to collaborate. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $1,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from October–November 2016.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The video had a great impact. This project was my first with the client, and they’re now an ongoing client. They were very happy with the result, finding the way the video explained a complex idea to be very impressive. The video helped spread a message that resonated with the target audience. 

How did minimalia perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team was proficient and very professional. I was pleased with how they managed the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

minimalia was very involved in the process and truly understood what we needed before starting the project. This was helpful later on in the process and helped them achieve our goals. I trusted Yasmin and she did a great job. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I became the middleman between my client and minimalia, which meant the process wasn’t as straightforward as I’d pictured it would be. However, it wasn’t an issue because there wasn’t too much feedback to convey between the teams. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust the level of proficiency that Yasmin has with videos. She corrected me whenever something was wrong and displayed great expertise. I recommend using them because of how professional they are.
