Our Process

How we work

At Mooviemakers, we can animate just about anything. The real value comes from making something that fits your message, connects with your audience, and supports your goals.

That’s where our process comes in.

It’s been refined over years of delivering work for all kinds of clients. Clear steps. No guesswork. No missed deadlines. Just a smooth, collaborative experience from start to finish.

1. Brief & Strategy

We start by listening. You tell us what you need the video to achieve, who it’s for, and any specific requirements. We ask questions that help uncover the real purpose and define success.

2. Scriptwriting

Once we understand your message, we write a script that’s clear, concise, and purposeful. Every word is chosen to support your goal, whether that’s driving sales, explaining a concept, or training a team.

3. Style Frames and Storyboard

We start with style frames to establish the look and feel. These are sample stills from the video that show how the visuals will be styled. Once that’s approved, we build the storyboard. This maps out the full sequence, scene by scene, so you know exactly what will happen and when.

4. Voiceover

If your video needs narration, we help you choose the right voice. We have a network of professional voice artists, and we guide you through tone, style, and accent to make sure it matches your brand.

5. Animation

With everything approved, we move into full production. Our animators bring the storyboard to life, syncing visuals with voice and music. You’ll see your message turn into a fully-formed story.

6. Delivery and Support

You’ll receive the final video in whatever formats you need, ready to use across your channels. And if you need cutdowns, captions, or help with rollout, we’re on hand.

Our videos don’t just look great they help your business achieve goals like higher conversion rates, better training retention, and increased brand awareness
