Project overview and features
The company needed videos to reach the US audience and draw the attention of certain groups (in our case, religious groups). One of the most important points was that the client didn’t seek to make general boring explainers. Band needed a team capable of creating videos with live characters that could make people laugh or cry. And we accepted this creative challenge!

Business objectives and current industry issues
The videos were developed primarily for mobile devices, so from our side of expertise we came up with some creative solutions.
1. First of all, it was decided that the illustration style couldn’t be too complex with a lot of detail, because it wouldn’t display well on mobile devices. That’s why we chose a 2d animation style with outlines and snappy motions.
2. To make videos more notable in the mobile feed, we selected bold and colorful color schemes that instantly caught the eye.
3. People are attracted to the dynamics, so for the videos were used characters with fast actions, as well as frequent frame changes. This decision also helped to capture the attention of both adults and children (which was very important, since children were one of the user groups).

Work done
We went through many stages of the project and achieved cool results. However, while working on the project, we had several challenges that we eventually managed to overcome.
Our challenges:
- It was difficult to find the perfect style for the videos, so we went through many internal iterations to come to a final decision.
- It’s very important to grab the viewer’s attention with the cover image and the first few seconds of the ad. That's why we focused most of our efforts on creating videos that look like content rather than traditional ads.
- After discussions with the team and the client, we decided to make characters with normal body-to-head proportions and natural curves, abandoning the option with characters built with geometric shapes.

User roles
- Creative Strategist defined the client's goals, communicated with the team and Band’s manager, handled the paperwork.
- Project Manager organized the work of the entire team and was the main contact person for the client, keeping him informed of the progress of the project.
- Art Director was in charge of the creative vision of the project, set the stylistic direction and mood of the videos.
- Illustrator made amazing illustrations that corresponded to the given direction and mood of the project.
- Animators brought these illustrations to life, making the result visually intriguing so that people would want to watch the videos until the end.
- Sound Designer added more depth to the videos, made them more dynamic and emotional.
Also, Lemons would like to thank Brian from Band App who provided excellent guidance, helped us at every stage of the project and was always online. Undoubtedly, the success of the project is the result of our joint efforts!
