CLAS BC logo
A trauma-informed, 90-second animated explainer for CLAS BC’s Stand Informed program, designed to reassure survivors of sexual abuse that legal help is confidential, free, and available in multiple languages. Built with inclusive characters and a calm, validating tone, it walks viewers through the intake journey and ends with a clear prompt to reach out.
Small Business BC logo

This project was a five-part educational video series for Small Business BC, a nonprofit organization. The goal was to educate business owners on what workplace accessibility is, and how to implement it, turning complex policy into clear and practical guidance they could act on.

Our Video Production Process

Strategy

We start by getting clear on your goals, your audience, and what you want the video to accomplish. Then we develop the concept and creative direction that becomes the foundation for the script and the rest of the production.

Script

Our writers get to work, developing a script that matches your intent and speaks to your audience. The right words, emotional triggers, and story structure all play a key role in the success of your message. If the story sucks, animation won’t save it.

Storyboard

Next, we sketch out the video scene by scene. The storyboard lets you see how the story will come together, where key moments land, and how the visuals support the script. Once refined and approved, we move to production.

Design

We design every character, graphic, and prop from scratch, then prepare the artwork for animation. An animatic is prepared to show our ideas on the the planned timing and pacing of the different scenes.

Animation

With the visuals approved, we move into animation and sound design. Voiceover, music, and sound effects are added to complete the piece, followed by final revisions to make sure everything looks and sounds right.

Launch

With the final video approved, we prepare everything for delivery. You get the final video file plus 10–15 cutdowns and supporting assets designed to help you get more mileage from the video across different channels.

Best Practices for High-Impact Nonprofit Videos

Here’s how we make your message stick and succeed:

  • Keep videos short and purpose-driven (60–90 seconds is ideal)
  • Use emotional storytelling to build empathy
  • Feature real people when possible (beneficiaries, founders, partners)
  • End with a clear, actionable CTA: donate, sign up, or share
  • Make it accessible with captions, translations, or visual aids
  • Repurpose across social, web, presentations, and email

  • Ethical storytelling that respects your subjects
