				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Metaweb is a completely new concept to replacing keywords with entities. Since, words are not the best way to describe something and are often misinterpreted. Everyone writes a name with a different spelling and things can get a lot confusing for everyone.<strong>Metaweb introduced the idea of using these entities that held every reference to a particular person, song, movie, place, etc</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-647"></span></p>
<h2>Video Review:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The idea that Metaweb presents is not so easy to understand because of its high level of technicality. Just because of this reason they created an explainer video that would explain their extremely complex idea in less than 4 minutes. <strong>Here are some notable features of their video</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sketch-style motion graphics have been used.</li>
<li>Typography has been used a lot in the video because of the relevance it holds with explaining keywords and entities.</li>
<li>Entities have been shown as building blocks that can hold all the different meanings pertaining to them.</li>
<li>Examples have been used to make it easier to understand the concept.</li>
<li>The graphics are just the right amount of color and a neutral background has been used.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This startup video pitch was so right on the spot that it helped Metaweb sell their idea to Google. This clearly shows that well made business videos can do wonders for a startup company and at times even beyond their imagination.</p>

One on hand the interesting graphics and drawing still grab the <strong>attention of the viewer</strong>. On the other hand, <strong>constant movement and change</strong> keeps their mind engaged and involved.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a form of art, whiteboard animation videos have been around for quite a long time, but its use in digital marketing was largely popularized by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in 2009.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Talkbin is a product by Google. The basic idea of all their products has always been to make is easier for the customers or users to voice their opinions so that they can get what they want. Something similar is happening with Talkbin as well. Think of it as a digital comment card that allows the customers to directly send a <strong>private text message</strong> to the business owner. The business owner can then reply directly to the customer and all this takes place in real time <strong>without exchange of personal information</strong>. It is also available as a smartphone application.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hearing the customer’s voice is extremely important for every business. Therefore, Talkbin revolutionizes the whole customer feedback idea by allowing <strong>anonymity and instant delivery</strong>. Even though Google is not a new company, this product is completely new and so they have used a startup video pitch for businesses and consumers.</p>
<h2>Video Review:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This startup video demo has some notable features:</p>
<ul>
<li>2D cartoon graphics have been used with the simple stick-man design.</li>
<li>A whitish-grey background has been used to enhance the colorful graphics.</li>
<li>The pastel blue color of the Talkbin logo has been used as the main color in the video. The Talkbin logo flashes a few times in the video as well for brand reinforcement. The other colors used are all the pastel shades of the colors of Google’s own logo.</li>
<li>Typography is used to show customer’s and business owner’s thoughts making it intriguing to watch.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keeping it short the demo video explains the product idea from the customer’s and business owner’s point of view, leaving nothing unsaid.</p>

For startups, the most important element is to gain attention, spark interest and generate business. <strong>Animated explainer videos have a deep impact on human psychology, thus allowing startups and other businesses to use it to acquire new customers and build reputation</strong>.

<p><span id="more-484"></span></p>
<h2>1. Set Yourself Apart</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The World Wide Web is oversaturated with information and it is impossible for you to survive online without much effort. Consumers have a lot of choices to choose from so simply assuming they would choose YOU is a big mistake. Unless and until, you <strong>create a unique identity for your brand</strong>, you will be there where you started. An explainer video that is able to stand out and go viral will be shared on Facebook and YouTube.</p>
<h2>2. Fixated Into Memory</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>People remember 68 percent more from watching a video than from reading plain text</strong>. With explanation videos, audio and visual senses are tingled at the same time, resulting in better memory of what is seen. Explainer videos are colorful, fun and intelligent, and an interesting way of describing your idea in an exciting way.</p>
<h2>3. Gather Mass Interest</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Video have always been appealing since people find it easier to relate to them. <strong>It is expected that 53.5% of the entire population will watch online video in 2012</strong>. No doubt, people will take note of your startup video and even teasers if they create the buzz. Vooza’s funny video is dubbed as the most hilarious tech startup spoof ever by Huffington Post.</p>
<h2>4. Give A Boost To Website Conversions</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;People love videos as videos tell a story that is much easier to remember than plain words. For startups, an explainer video is much likely to help the new business pick pace. Explanation videos are best at sparking interest and inspiring conversions thereby generating new business. <strong>Dropbox’s success is all thanks to an explainer video which increased conversions by over 10 percent</strong>.</p>
<h2>5. Give Your Customers A Taste Of Your Product</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Explanation videos let your customers know what your product actually does and how. They would want to find out all they can know about the product before grabbing the deal. Since a <strong>single minute of a video is equivalent to 1.8 million words, videos help the audience understand as well as remember up to 68% of what they see in it</strong>.</p>
<h2>6. Profit From The Viral Nature Of Videos</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://thestartupvideos.com/video-tips/step-by-step-procedure-awesome-animated-demo-video-making/"  target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Creative animated explainer videos</a>have an amazing feature of going viral thus taking your product to a larger audience. If it has an element of entertainment, inspiration or wonder, the explainer video will be more likely shared readily on the social media. Visual content has a greater chance of being shared among people thus giving your business the free advertising it needs.</p>
<h2>7. Inspire One To Get The Ball Rolling</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A well scripted and designed startup video can inspire a brand evangelist who can act as an advocate for your product and promote it through word of mouth and social media marketing to dozens leading to a huge crowd.For instance, <strong>Visually had over 80,000 signups from a video on its LaunchRock page months before it was even live thanks to fans shared it at social networks.</strong></p>
<h2>8. Improve Website SEO</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proper SEO techniques have always been a great element in generating greater visibility. When you post your video on YouTube with a strategic title, a keyword-focused description and relevant tags, you are preparing for a traffic rush to your web page. With 38% of Google universal searches including a video, get things heated up with explainer video production.</p>
<h2>9. Buys You Time</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Explanation videos give users insights into a product that allows them to assess it well before making a purchase decision. What this means for startups is that even though the product has not been launched yet, videos give it time to make any changes to the product based on audience reaction.</p>
<h2>10. Shrink Any Unsatisfied Customer Base</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes words simply do not communicate what you really want to. With animated explainer videos, you can better give out product information thus achieving higher level of clarity. Thus would reduce the margin of unsatisfied customers produced after an online purchase since they are in a better position to make informed decisions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just as social media has become an important part of our lives, SocialGift introduces the idea of ‘social gifting’. That means that you get together with a <strong>group of friends to contribute and buy a gift for a close friend whose birthday, anniversary, wedding, promotion, etc</strong>. is about to arrive. It connects the user with online retailers to choose from a number of items that can be chosen as a gift. Then by adding friends from social media sites, it enables you to raise money for the gift. <strong>SocialGift will do the rest from buying the gift to delivering it to the recipient</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-471"></span></p>
<h2>Video Review:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The idea that SocialGift is introducing is not entirely new, similar companies are operating with this idea. So what does SocialGift do to make themselves stand out? They contact a startup video production company and get an interesting startup pitch video made. All they had to do was explain the idea and they have a really cool video that explains the whole idea to every person who visits their site. <strong>Notable features of this video are</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Monotone grayish background that allows colorful images to stand out. </li>
<li>Introduces the idea like a revelation. </li>
<li>The video is made using cartoon-like graphics to show the browsing experience of a user from social media sites to SocialGift. </li>
<li>Story-telling theme does wonders to make the viewer understand how much they can achieve with this social gifting platform. </li>
<li>Typography has been used to emphasize particular areas of the video.</li>
<li>There is a fault in their video when it start talking about a person named ‘Sally’ to buy a gift for, but shows the Facebook page for a guy named ‘Mike’ instead.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lucky Ant introduces a completely new and different way of helping the local businesses in your area grow. Based in New York, Lucky Ant at the moment covers only a few neighborhoods in New York City. But, they are soon planning to expand.</p>
<p><span id="more-467"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Lucky Ant picks a local business from each neighborhood and brings it forward</strong>. It helps them reach out to their community for help by pitching in. The people in their community can fund their businesses to buy a new oven, a sound system or whatever they have in mind. For each pledge that a person makes they get rewards from the business in terms of free food, classes, gifts, etc.</p>
<h2>Video Review:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The idea is interesting as the local businesses like the muffin shop down the street, are one of the most important part of our lives.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Crowdmug is a smartphone application that answers your question about how a place looks even before you head there. With this application you can enter the name of a place and request a photo or video of it. Add the money that you are willing to offer and the time that you want it in. <strong>Your request is sent out on Crowdmug an anyone who is at that place or nearby can take a photo or make a video and send it to you.</strong> They get to earn money and you get to know whether you really want to that new place out.</p>
<p><span id="more-334"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Crowdmug is an application that has been designed with the idea of helping us make better decisions. The best part is that it actually does that. <strong>With the photo or video you can decide if you really want to try out that new restaurant for your date or a hotel</strong> you haven’t visited before for a meeting.</p>
<h2>Video Review:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An explainer video on their website gives an excellent overview of their application. Let’s look at the notable features of this video:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uses a light blue background throughout the video, the same color as the logo.</li>
<li>The video guides the viewer through how the application actually works.</li>
<li>The Crowmug logo is shown throughout most of the video. This is an excellent way of brand reinforcement.</li>
<li>Discusses real live examples that the viewers can relate to.</li>
<li>2D cartoon animation has been used instead of using real models for the video.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Crowdmug startup video pitch is a good example of how a simple and short video can be used to explain an idea.</p>
