Images are powerful for everyone
You know the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words?” This is true no matter what country you are from are from or what language you speak. Whiteboard animations are full of compelling images that share powerful messages.
Voiceover can be translated to as many languages as you need
Need to share an animation with a multilingual audience? No worries! Animations can easily be translated into whatever language you need, so you can customize your video to your unique audience.
Easy to swap in culturally relevant images
If you think certain images will resonate with certain communities, it’s easy to swap images into an animation to make sure your message is as relevant as possible. For example, clothing and food can look very different across cultures. By swapping in appropriate images, your audience will be able to easily connect with the content of the video.
Animations are a flexible option if you need to communicate to people across cultures, because it’s so easy to customize the images and the narration to exactly who you are talking to. Plus, the visual nature of a whiteboard means they are something everyone can understand.
