how it works, well we have a detailed tutorial video that runs for about 25 minutes covering A to Z of everything that is Video Infographics.
As for this post, I'm going to focus only on the features of Video Infographics. So fasten your seatbelts.
First of all, Video Infographics is not a feature but a theme of Animaker. It is a video style. It is like one of three pillars of Animaker. The other two are 2D animation and Handcraft.
Now that we have established that video infographics is a theme, let’s just see what it offers as a theme.
100+ charts and numbers
1000 + icons with color change options
Silhouette Characters with option to change colors (hold your breath) 3000+ maps
Text Prebuilts.
Special effects.
TEXT PREBUILTS. You never heard that before, right? What are they?! Text pre-builts are animated versions of text that one can come across on something like a billboard, a live advertisement, a website and anywhere that you advertise. And we have 50 of them. 50.
What about SPECIAL EFFECTS then? Are they any different from text pre-builts or are they related to the cinematic special effects? No, not the transformers level special effects. (BTW, the movie's SFX were really clumsy) This is neat, small, subtle additions to your video that makes your video look like straight out of a graphic novel with more charts and numbers.
Okay, these are additions, but good looking additions nevertheless. Let’s come to the main attraction.
CHARTS, NUMBERS, and MAPS.
This is what Infographics is all about. Presenting data especially big data through charts and maps. Telling a story through them. Busting the myth that they are boring. Convincing your superiors, clients, everyone with brick strong proofs.
Oh wait, isn’t that what infographics also does? Well, infographics do exactly that. But a small correction, they just does exactly that. Whether they do it effectively or not is a question that has been answered very many times. And the answer every single time is an astounding NO!
Charts and maps are made for videos.
They are best represented through videos. Because, a moving bar is far more effective than a static chart or a bar. Where is the anticipation in a bunch of static charts and bars. But with a moving bar, there is excitment and mystery for you don't know when and where it will stop or what shape it will take next.
So what we have here is a variety of charts of different styles. And these charts and graphs are highly customizable. I repeat it. CUSTOMIZABLE. Yes, that means any size and more importantly, any shape.
And fusing them with words of your choice, and numbers of your picking, data, especially big data sprouts to life.
Imagine the following scenario - You’re in a meeting. Sitting in front of you are two most important people that could break or make your business. Are you going to present your data through an excel sheet or excite them with a video? Think about it.
MAPS.
Those are dilemmas and choices. But for now, let’s move to some other place. Maps.
3000+ Maps. Why 3000+ maps, i mean for what joy.
Maps are the most important part of data storytelling. Yes, charts can tell a story, but maps make it more personal. 'Maps' is Animaker’s way of telling the world, that this tool is made not just for a particular country or for a continent, it is made for everyone. Everyone in the world, no matter how remote their place is, will have access to Animaker. But more importantly, they will have the freedom to tell a story about their neighborhood.
Are you from Telangana in India and do you want to tell a story about how your local drainage system has been a problem for the past decade. No problem. You can now do that with Animaker without showing something that resembles Minnesota but actually show them on Map.
Is your place Leinster in Ireland and you want to talk about the increasing road accidents or bird migration from East African countries? No problem. Animaker can help you.
This is what Video Infographics can do. It brings together people and makes sure that there is no data that cannot be shown or represented through an animated video.
Video Infographics is an upgrade to the data world. It changes everything.
So that's all folks. I'm not going to make you wait anymore. It's a goodbye from me. For now. Until next time, happy animating!
