Bernheim: Forests Under Threat

Project Brief

Our team was thrilled to work with Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Kentucky to make this impactful whiteboard video. This video – in a short 45 seconds – explains how conservation easements protect natural environments, and how to get involved with a local stand for the protection of Bernheim in Kentucky.

Engaging, relateable characters draw attention to the importance of the issue at hand, moving audiences to become involved. A clear, visually aided call-to-action directs viewers to learn more and sign the petition to protect conserved land at forestsunderthreat.org

As well as being shared on social media, the video was featured on the Bernheim website homepage to quickly explain and motivate viewers to sign the petition.

”“The process was very easy, the team at Next Day Animations listened and delivered a great final product. The team made creating our video easy and fun. They listened to what we had to say and did an excellent job of conveying our goal in the video.”
Sarah StraderAccount Manager, Heartland Communications Consultants, Inc.

Whether you’re trying to change something massive, like structural inequity, or something more small-scale, like the way individual people make choices, animated explainers can help.

By pairing audio and visual cues, animation is useful for explaining things in quick, memorable formats to pave the way for changes of all kinds.

We had a great experience with Next Day Animations. Coming from a VERY small office (staff of three), we needed someone who could take our idea and run with it, creating the script and design elements for the video. Given very little to work with, Next Day produced a great video that I feel really reflects who we are as an organization. I highly recommend them to any small nonprofits on a tight budget. The cost is reasonable, plus they saved us a lot of costs in MY time with not having to write or manage a video shoot. Thanks, Next Day, for really understanding a small nonprofit and delivering on everything you promised!!

Definitely a five star company! They listened to what we wanted in an animation video and delivered exactly as we asked. The video has paid for itself many times over by how much interest we have gained in our product due the public viewing it. Next Day Animations is a friendly company with great customer service and videos at a price that any company can afford.

The friendly group at Next Day Animations ensured that the creation of our scribing video went smoothly. We had no experience with this type of work, but that didn't matter. They answered every question we had and made it fun and easy. Their team truly cares that you end up with what you had envisioned. We look forward to working with them again.

i work with a lot of agencies, vendors and contractors and Next Day is far and away one of the best. Not only are they priced reasonably, do what they say, and produce quality work, but they take the time to understand our business so the first time we see something from them its 80% of the way there already. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Next Day Animations has been incredible to work with to create educational whiteboard videos. Our non-profit is committed to conscious raising and promoting awareness around critical issues that affect our local communities. Next Day Animations has been able to distill complex ideas into short, but effective educational and engaging videos. Next Day's entire team is incredibly friendly and easy to work with, and they are super responsive as well. Also, the process of creating a video is pretty efficient as well. We have enjoyed our creative work with Next Day Animations and look forward to making more whiteboard animation videos in the future!

It was a pleasure to work with the Next Day Animations team! They are kind, professional, and SO quick/efficient. Would certainly recommend them to anyone and work with them again. We are very pleased with our final product and can't wait to start socializing it across our org!

The team at Next Day Animations is terrific and very responsive! They developed a video on what is civil legal aid that creatively explains a complex subject in concise and cogent terms. It will significantly help justice advocates convey the critically important role and value of civil legal assistance.

Next Day Animations is an amazing organization! From the marketing, to the sales follow-up and through the video creation process..each team member was terrific! They are creative while being good listeners, proactive and clear about the process, smart and flexible in their work. We recently received our first completed work and can’t wait to order the next one! Don’t miss an opportunity to work with them!!

The best video-production experience I've been a part of. The Next Day Animations team is bright, friendly, supportive, intuitive, thorough, and flexible. Quick turnaround time and expertly-executed production. They were able to take the new, abstract concept we needed a video for and make it digestible and exciting for our audience. Our team will use and recommend them as often as possible.

Next Day Animations are fantastic! They knocked it out of the park with my first video. They were well organized, well prepared, and came back with a well scripted/designed video - fast!! We plan on doing many more videos with them this year and the future. They also made me look really good with my colleagues.

Next Day Animations knocked it out of the park with my video! They were always kind, helpful, and quick to respond to any request. Our video was awesome and they even helped us implement it in order to get the most traction out of our investment. Thanks Next Day Animations!

We have a very complex speech therapy technique that has always been a terrible struggle to communicate to laymen. Next Day was able to create a 100 second video that provides viewers with a better understanding of our technique than we can verbally explain in 30 minutes. The visuals not only create a stonger understanding of the material - but the impression lasts for a very long time after the video is viewed. We're looking forward to creating more videos with Next Day for other concepts that we struggle to explain.

It looks like this will be the same thing as every other comment....that is, that is was a great experience. Frankly the process was a little disjointed at first, but I can't say whether that was them or my team (in terms of getting the contract signed). But, once NDA was onboard, everything was gravy. The process that they have developed to ultimately deliver the product that you want seems like it has been hand crafted over decades. They heard and felt my needs for my animation project and were responsive to the work and requests I put forward. I would definitely recommend them to another and would use them again for a next project.
