For what projects/services did your company hire Novaby?

We hired Novaby to create a promotional video for our game, Words On A Wall.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to have a video that would get viewer to go to either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and install our game.

How did you select Novaby?

We became aware of Novaby at an MIT conference on advances in augmented reality. Julia from Novaby gave a feature presentation showing off their work promoting jazz in San Francisco. Both Novaby's mobile app and their animation was top notch, so I was anxious to have the opportunity to work together.

When they committed to producing a video in time to meet our tight marketing schedule, and all at very competitive rates, it was an easy decision to go with them.

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

Novaby helped with everything from the initial script, to story boarding, to animation, and finally though post production to deliver an outstanding product right on schedule.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Throughout the process, we worked collaboratively with the team at Novaby. We went through several iterations that continuously improved our video. Not only did the team at Novaby provide great suggestions, they also incorporated our changes in ways that improved upon our initial comments.

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

We were very pleased with the results which can be seen at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VgS7CWIknU. It has also been performing well, delivering a CPI of ~$0.40 before optimizing audience targeting.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We supplied 3D CAD models to Novaby which they were able to create a lighting, shading, and rendering solution that would match our own existing in-house solution. They produced hundreds of renderings for us. Each product required multiple views and often with different finishes.

What was the team composition?

I worked with one person who managed the account and another who worked on any technical details or specific needs. There were various artists that worked on the projects at Noivaby.

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

All of what Novvaby has done has proven to be an excellent solution. Their work continues to be used including the very first renderings they did for us. They are used throughout the western hemisphere markets.
