Take 9

Yum Yum Videos share their tips in, ironically, not a video, but an infographic. We find that highly entertaining, honestly speaking. Yum Yum Videos breaks things down into the following:

script

storyboard

Style-frames

Voice-over

Animation

Music and sound effects

Distribution

Let’s start with the script. Part of your script is the message you want to deliver. The script comprised the written structure of your video, forming the foundation for everything else that follows. Next is the storyboard, which serves as a pre-visualization sketch of the main actions that’ll appear in your video. If you’re not familiar with what storyboards are, here’s an example:

The styleframes are select frames from the storyboard that are ‘drawn’ in final quality. Styleframes are imbued with colors, backgrounds, characters, and other extra elements. The voiceover is a major element of explainer videos. Creators can even employ the help of official voice actors (VAs) to better gauge the timing and animation lengths that’ll come next. Illustrations are the visual elements drawn in final quality, including typography. Think of these as styleframes +1. Animation is, well, animation. For those willing to go the extra mile, animation is where you can give your visuals life, creating highly dynamic and interactive works.

The last three major steps go over music and sound-fx, wrapping up, and distribution. Sound-on is currently a big influencer when it comes to video engagement, so make sure they go well and do wonders to enhance your chosen visuals. After all that, it’s time to export to a high-resolution video format, preferably at 1080p. Distribution is basically when you share your videos where you want. In short, blast them to your most critical platforms and audiences!

Yum Yum Videos makes it sound easy, and theoretically, it is, provided you know a thing or two about content creation. While you can grasp the concepts relatively easily, there are a few technical skills required if you want to pull off some noteworthy work. Luckily, if you ever get lost, you can always come back to Yum Yum’s overview to ensure that you stay on the right track.
