Animated Video vs. Written Content
Compared to written text, the retention rate of information delivered through animated video is significantly higher, meaning your audience will remember the information you told them about your business for a lot longer. The story evoked in an animated video also connects with viewers on a more personal level than text alone. You can portray a character that your viewers can directly relate to.
Animated Video vs. Live Action
Live-action videos are a great way of conveying a message and can connect well with customers. However, to do this you need to source a location, actors, extras, a videographer, an editor, insurance, hair and make-up, a wardrobe... the list goes on! This can be quite a costly affair, particularly if you're a small business. Not to mention that you’ll have to film the scene again if you’d like to make any changes. Animated videos are more affordable to create, quicker to produce, easier to edit and are just as effective as live-action.
Animated Video vs. Still Images
Animation often gives you the extra edge over still images, as anything which is different on social media stands out. You can take this theory and add it to any aspect of digital to replace static images. Animation can be added to your Facebook banner, email signatures, profile pictures in order to capture attention, get an extra edge over your competition and gain a creative edge.

We recently used Squideo for a video project and we are incredibly pleased with the result. The team at Squideo have been nothing but helpful, and we would praise them highly on their turn around time and efforts to fit work into their busy schedules. We'd like to give a special mention to Callum who worked hard to make our project a success, and for whom nothing was ever too much trouble. We would highly recommend Squideo and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Both were professional, completely on brand and on brief! We liaised with Ben throughout who ensured that we were happy with the finished product and even made a few emendates for free. Really happy with the service provided and will 100% be working with Fifty Squid again. Thank you guys!

From the start we have used Fifty Squid for our corporate animated videos. Their service has been excellent in taking the time to understand our business and the needs of the videos. Video production has always been prompt and ‘ticked the boxes’ of what we wanted them to do. We’ve always felt the lines of communication were open (although we didn’t need them) for amendments and changes to videos. We will continue to use Fifty Squid in the future and look forward to seeing what else they produce for us! Sutcliffe Consulting Engineers
