Goal
codeValet requested an animated pitch video for use in a venture fundraising campaign for their startup.
OurApproach
Pre-Production:
codeValet CMO pursued Snohomish Film Co for the creation for a pitch video to use in investor events and pitch meetings. We worked with the CMO to craft
the script and then worked to create a storyboard for production. This process look about 6 weeks because the founder team was still workshoping product
market fit, USPs, and target audience.
Filming
Once script and storyboard were approved, we turned around a first draft within 72 hours. We used a combination of tools to produce this video, from After
Effects for motion graphic design, to Illustrator to rig and prepare graphic elements for motion, to AI tools like ElevenLabs to help transform our original voice
over to find a voice that worked well for their target audience. The whole process was accomplished with our in-house team thereby keeping production costs
down to a minimum.
Post-Production
There were 6 revisions for this project, mostly due to the fluid nature of startups entering into their first fundraising round. Snohomish Film Co remained
diligent throughout the process to provide edit turnarounds quickly.
Challenges&Solutions
Weather or Environmental Conditions
Due to the fluid nature of startups, the primary complications for this project were finding the right language and positioning for the voice over and text
callouts. This was the reason for a majority of the change requests, but no notes were given on the style/design of the video.
Time Constraints:

FinalTakeaways
This project was a fantastic change for us to showcase our motion graphic and animation skills as well as experiment with emergent AI tools. The ability to
quickly and effectively use AI tools without sacrificing human expertise and authenticity is paramount for any business who wants to engage with "AI". We
believe our approach to using AI as a tool rather than a replacement for creativity is the key to effective use of AI in the future.
