Action Map:

Text Based Story Board:

The Visual Mock-Ups:

After finalizing the text-based storyboard, I moved on to creating visual mock-ups using Vyond. I selected Vyond as the mock-up design tool because it offered the scenes I needed to effectively design the project. I carefully selected the brand colors, logos, and fonts to ensure a cohesive and visually appealing design.

Animated Explainer Video Prototype:

Once the visual mock-ups were finalized and achieved a cohesive look, I moved on to prototyping using Vyond. With fonts, color schemes, and characters already established, my focus shifted to refining character poses, ensuring proper alignment, and integrating audio files. I carefully selected props and charts that would effectively support and blend seamlessly with the storyline. After completing the prototype, I proceeded to develop the final product.

Full Development:

After finalizing the prototype, I proceeded to develop the full 2-minute explainer video. I incorporated animations and character emotions tailored to each scene, added zoom-in and out camera movements aligned with the narration, and meticulously timed the animations for a seamless flow. The final product was completed after thorough testing and refinement.

Results and Take-Aways:

The final 2-minute explainer video successfully met the project objectives by delivering a clear, engaging, and visually appealing overview of the instructional design process. The use of Vyond allowed for dynamic animations, well-timed transitions, and emotionally expressive characters, all of which contributed to an impactful and cohesive presentation.
