Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO and co-founder of a therapeutic app for people with anxiety.
What challenge were you trying to address with BluBlu Studios?
We needed a partner to create video content for our platform.
What was the scope of their involvement?
BluBlu Studios created one-minute animated videos that explain the concepts of anxiety and panic to our patients using the app. We gave them a rough storyline as I’d made a couple of videos, but their team recommended we start over. From there, they did everything. Their team took the script, made changes, and directed the rest of the process. They developed unique characters for the videos that were completely different than anything we’d seen previously. Their team produced the content iteratively, executing our feedback fast.
What is the team composition?
We worked with four people: one project manager and three individuals who produced the videos.
How did you come to work with BluBlu Studios?
We found them on Fiverr and wrote them directly.
How much have you invested with them?

We started the project in July and finished it in November 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We were really impressed with the quality of their work. The characters alone were great—very unique, which is hard to find nowadays since there are so many animated characters already. Their team integrated our feedback quickly. They also iterated over the course of the engagement, so as it went along the videos become more to our taste.
How did BluBlu Studios perform from a project management standpoint?
BluBlu Studios didn’t miss any deadlines. Their team was always straightforward in regard to the timeline. We always knew when we’d have the next iteration. They produced the videos quickly without being sloppy.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a co-founder of the company and oversee the user experience of our technology and online/offline marketing materials.
For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?
We hired BluBlu to create an explainer video for Solvent.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted to capture the story that paints the problem we're solving and the technology we're using to do it. There were a lot of moving parts to the story we wanted to tell and we felt as though BluBlu had what it took to do that story justice.
How did you select this vendor?
We had seen BluBlu on Dribbble, but ultimately we referred to our 99design agency pro account to source an agency for this project. BluBlu stood out from all the other agencies 10-fold. We knew that we had found some of the best talent in the industry.
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
The video tells the story of the industry problem that created the necessity for our technology solutions. We were able to come up with that story and roughly storyboard a very rudimentary version of the story. BluBlu then took that version and created illustrations to better tell the story – we felt they did a wonderful job. Once we approved everything they then ran with the animation of the video in record time,
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
We did most of our communication via email. That ended up being very easy on our team and we were able to make decisions quickly regarding all creative files and direction.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The video we received not only did an outstanding job of bringing our story to life – but it was done in a very unique, and cutting-edge way. BluBlu gave us a video that is unlike anything we've seen and used an incredible amount of creativity to tell our story in the most simple way possible, and so far it has been met with rave reviews. They also stuck to the timeline. I don't think you can ask for better success metrics than those things.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Great, simple, effective. Resulted in a top-notch product.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
BluBlu Studios is one of those companies that 'get it'. We communicated the story that we had in our heads the best we could, and they took it and ran with it. Their input was invaluable, they really understand how to take a story and condense it down into 2 minutes, pair visuals with voice over audio and overlaid sound to create a product that was 98% complete. The revision process is taking us no time at all. That's the company you want to work with!
Are there any areas for improvement?
No. We very much intend to continue working with this agency moving forward and excited to create more dynamic marketing materials for our company.

The film was received well by the end-client and came in on time and budget, a difficult challenge given the project requirements. BluBlu provided stand-out customer service without taking into account client or project size.
