Kasra Design® is one of the most diverse animation studios in the field of collage animation for business and product promotion. We have created dozens of collage-based animations for various businesses around the world, from hospitality industry to SaaS.
We don’t just design collage artworks that look appealing, our team knows what amount of animation each project needs to appeal to its audience base. From fast-paced animations catered to picky impatient potential customers to slow and smooth educational videos, we get all the angles covered.
Our collage animations won multiple awards as well as getting featured on well-known motion graphics magazines such as Stashmedia.tv. Don’t just take our word it, check out our clients’ verified reviews collected by Clutch.
It is a type of animation which consists of a blend of real photographs / images and illustrations. It may involve the usage of more photos than illustrations or vice versa. It can also contain vector shapes as an added complexity.
In the process of making a collage animation, artists cut-out pieces out of images digitally or manually (e.g human, object, texture etc) and assemble them in animation software such as Adobe After Effects. If it is done manually, the images will be scanned first then will be manipulated digitally using various software.
Then these image pieces are animated individually along with illustrations, hand-drawn animation and textures to create a unique collage look and feel. All these moving cuts made up what is called a “collage animation”.
Collage animation is a fantastic style to share your business message using a mix of graphics, textures and images. When we blend real photos, illustrations and vectors together it creates an animation style that is dynamic and very interesting to watch.
And because we can use actual product images in any collage animation, it is one of the best styles for presenting a physical product such as furniture, phones, real estate, and many other items.
Another advantage of Collage animation is that it is very cost effective compared to other styles such as 3D or live-action shoots. It doesn’t require real actors or expensive sets which makes it ideal for brands looking to stand out with a quirky, artistic or nostalgic aesthetic. It also has applications for movie or drama title openings, as you may have seen on many streaming networks such as Netflix, HBO, and others.
The answer is a big yes. In fact, many businesses have been using collage animation to connect with their respective audiences. It is a very appealing and timeless medium. To back our claim, here are some examples:
Exploring National Identity: New York Times created a collage animation to take viewers on a journey across multiple countries while asking thought-provoking questions about the origin of national identity.
Include a Charity: An Australian non-profit organization called “Include a Charity” created a collage animation to encourage more people to include charitable donations in their wills.
NerdWallet Series: NerdWallet which is an American financial company, created a series of informative videos to share valuable tips on saving money with their target audience.
The production of collage animation involves various stages. Just like a regular animated explainer video, we start with researching our client’s product or service that will be featured in our video. Then we start writing script drafts and send them to you for approval.
While our copywriters are working hard on the script, our design team will develop the look and feel of the collage. It will be presented as a style-frame for approval. Once all the above are approved, we will create a storyboard to show our ideas for each scene of the animation.
After the storyboard is done, our animators start working on all the scenes and bring them to life. Voice-overs are recorded along the way so our animators can use them during the animation stage. Voila, the collage animation is now ready for your approval!
Threado AI is the support sidekick for organizations that have created a meaningful connection between support, community, and AI. Threado reached out to us to introduce their platform using an animated video. They needed it for the use in their landing page and marketing channels. The client wanted a quirky, human-centric approach, so we produced a mixed media animated video consisting of collage animation and 2D characters.
The video successfully captured the platform’s features and connected well with their audience. Hence, it received over 40,000 YouTube views in just a few months! It generated significant buzz across other social media apps as well.
“The team at Kasra Design was able to take our concept and develop both a 2-minute and a 1-minute 2D video in under 30 days and over the holidays! The work was fast and great quality. We were extremely impressed with how quickly the vendor was able to deliver. Very little direction was required. Very responsive. Very professional.”
