Besides producing animated TV shows for RTE, one of Igloo’s most thriving services is producing Animated Explanation Videos to explain peoples businesses, messages and products. This service is called Gimme The Short Version and can be found right here.

Many big names have already signed up for this service including: The HSE, Ornua, Cancer Trials Ireland, The Oireachtas and many new establishing businesses that want to communicate what they do in a fun and direct way using animation.

Clients usually write their own script and send it into Igloo Animations for review-edit. Once the script is signed off, a client can expect a two-minute video produced in 2 or 3 weeks, one that includes voiceover, music, sound effects, animation and design.

Says Trevor, “We wanted to provide clients with a service which allows them to serve their customers more efficiently.

“Clients are able to choose their own voiceover, character and script, which means they have a much greater input when it comes to the creativity of the product.”

From concept to finish, that 2-minute video can be completed in 3 to 4 weeks, and is then usually embedded on the client’s websites and shared on social media.
