Video for YouTube channel
Client
Kings and Generals — the premier YouTube channel for anyone interested in military history. Channel is dedicated to providing high-quality educational content that explores some of the most significant military campaigns, battles, and strategies throughout history.
Challenge
Create a video for the Kings and Generals YouTube channel. The video should be a small documentary in the timekeeping of 15-25 minutes. The customer provided the voiceover and the script of the reading. Also, according to the channel's policy, we need to focus on storytelling through an interactive map.
Solution
The Asterman team started working with the preparation of the script. We divided the script into scenes and began to describe in detail the visual of each. Based on the timing and complexity of the scene, the manager evenly distributed the tasks among the artists.
Then we moved on to the preparation of assets. First of all, we chose the technology of drawing the map.
We prepared icons, selected fonts and created the concept of animation type- and infographics. Then we started searching for suitable archival video footage for the video.
After receiving the approval of the assets and the map from the customer, the designers joined the project. Creating scenes, checking them, compiling all the scenes in the final render of the first version is their responsibility.
At the end of the project, we made and approved the final edits, as well as adapted the project for use on other devices.
Result
The video has gained more than 645К views and more than 20K likes on YouTube.
