Honda "Keep Doing" Animated Commercial

Honda wanted everyone to know what their story and what they're doing to be more green.  They also wanted to inspire Honda owners to do their part and let them know that by servicing their car they're helping the planet.  Animation was the perfect way to get their message across. 

See how simple shapes, colors, music, and "storyteller" voice over made this video very effective.

Lilipip is hiring!

The ideal candidate is familiar with startup life, is willing to make cold calls, meet leads face to face, and embrace our approach of personal, warm sales instead of old school traditional sales. In other words, we want you to be the kind of person that people LOVE to talk to. They trust you, and you get the concepts of being punctual, saying thank you, and listening to customer’s needs.

Like it? Great! Keep reading and email us! This position is a commission based independent contractor role but has real opportunity to turn into a full time job. You’ll also get the perks of working with cool people, having an office space with a view and free parking, and contributing to the development of our sales strategy.

We’re looking for someone who can work at least 20+ hours per week. We have leads for you. We just need you to get in touch and sell!

Overview: We’ve been creating animated videos for over a year for cool companies like Zappos, and people love them. Because this is a new marketing method online, it’s important to hold the customers hand and help them understand the product. We are very active in the startup community - we host and speak at events, sponsor events, and utilize social media like Twitter and Facebook.

You: You are tenacious, go-getter, fast learner, creative, very tech-savvy, goal-driven, organized, punctual, extroverted and motivated. You also have an excellent, proven track record of experience. If you know who Miyazaki or Lasseter is, it’s a huge plus!

SOYJOY Animations

SOYJOY, the maker of soy and fruit bars, has been using animation in their commercials.  Their brand is hip, healthy, and flavorful, and animation was a great way to strengthen the brand and stand out.  My favorite SOYJOY animation, "Jump Rope," uses bright colors and playful music to show viewers just how amazing one of their bars makes you feel.  

 

The second animation reinforces their brand with color and electronic music.

Be sure to check the Lilipip YouTube channel for more examples of great animation.

Inspiring Animation about Entrepreneurship

Check out this animation about entrepreneurship.  This animation was created for Grasshopper.com (formerly GotVmail), an awesome phone service for entrepreneurs.  The animation was created to get people to "join the entrepreneur movement; stimulate the economy; and spread the word."

This animation uses text, illustration, and animation to get an inspiring message across.  See how you can use animation in your business marketing video to get larger, more complex and emotional messages across?  This is the type of message that people talk about.  We've seen this video on Twitter and YouTube.

Virgin America uses animation for new safety video

How many times have you heard the airline safety instructions?  Most people have heard them so many times that they no longer pay attention.  Instead they daze out, make last minute text messages, and read their magazines.

Virgin America decided to change things up.  They produced an animated video for their safety instructions. The video is not only easy on the eyes, but it's also humorous.  Now that's a first in airline safety! 

If you want to spice up a boring concept, or one that your audience has heard a million times, try animation + humor!  We'll help.  Contact Lilipip Studios.
