Tips for Whiteboard Animation Videos | Varnan Films

If we follow the study of Social Science Research Network which says that 65% of the people are visual learners while 30% learn by hearing, we know exactly how animation took the education sector by storm! Keeping the current situation in focus, where classroom learning has been modified into e-learning on smart devices, it has become rather important to incorporate novel and innovative methods to engage the students. In terms of an appropriate media strategy for any e-course, there is a tremendous potential, where Whiteboard Animation Videos are a popular and cost-effective solution. Whiteboard animations are videos that use a sequence of live drawings to ‘show’ the learner an idea or concept. A ‘hand’ that works inside a screen that serves as a ‘whiteboard’ is frequently seen. The image of the teacher writing or sketching on the whiteboard is instantly recognized by students of all ages!

The concept of smart classes isn’t new for the students, but it was considered a luxury to be able to visit the smart class and learn through animation back in the day when it was introduced! But the pandemic has converted this luxury into a necessity! The smart integration of whiteboard animation videos in learning is expanding its reach each day. It doesn’t matter if you are a teacher, a story weaver or an inquisitive learner, there is an effective solution for everybody in order to make their audience learn better.

It’s Time to Spill The Secret!!

There must be some secret sauce to the success of the many online tutoring platforms which made them huge within a short span of time. We all know that they have whiteboard animation videos of the various concepts to their advantage, but what’s more about it? Well, we are here to spill the secret. Take your pen and start noting:

Empower Your Audience: If you let the command of the whiteboard animation video in the hands of your audience, they will feel empowered and motivated at the same time. Imagine a video just being played and the learner not being able to pause or replay the video in order to take notes, there are chances that the learner might just skip the video altogether! We bet you wouldn’t want that. That’s why make the whiteboard animation video available to your learner in a format where they are in the driving seat, and you are assisting them. That’s how we learned to ride our bicycles without training wheels, right?

Remember the Bite-Size Pieces: E-Learning is made more effective using animation, and animation is made more effective by breaking down complex content into simpler forms. If you are able to re-mould the complex concepts into digestible and comprehensive bits, you know you’ve won the race already! Aah, that reminds us of explaining the process of digestion in humans! How will you do it using a whiteboard animation video?

Visual Should Be Accompanied by Audio: We all know that audio and visual go hand in hand because that’s how we humans interpret things around us. That’s why you should never let your whiteboard animation videos run alone if you want the maximum effect. Voice over is the key. You can record your own voice or opt for some pre-recorded voices which can be set as per your requirements.
