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.
