Fewer Funerals Animated Explainer Video (2019)

Fewer Funerals teamed up with Anders Sundstedt at Sundstedt Animation to make a premium, handcrafted animated explainer video – Explaining Fewer Funerals. This video is not only a sample of our animated video work, it was also a lot of fun making it. Who says that comedy can’t apply to animated explainer videos? Together with this fun script provided by the client, we use modern 2D animation in our own style to communicate the idea of Fewer Funerals to the target audience in an entertaining way.

The Solution

We presented the client with options in animation techniques, styles and methods. We suggested using 2D animation that would be compelling and fun to watch. We asked the client to provide a script for the video.

Anders Sundstedt created all the designs, graphics, artwork, character designs and illustrations for the video content for all scenes in the animation in his own unique style. We decided to go for a premium quality design with detailed illustrations, background compositions and camera moves used throughout the video. We also added music and sound effects and edited the video.

The client was presented with artwork/designs for approval. This video features a few different characters and some background designs and other artwork, which took up a large part of the video production timeframe.

We suggested a voice over artist we worked with before in the video for Glasgow City Council. We asked the client to provide the voice-over artist recording. We talked with the VO artist, explained what we had in mind for the VO style.

We communicated regularly with the client and VO artist throughout the production of this animated video, for approval of all artwork content and to ask them questions about the video, characters and our suggested end title screen. Finally, we put it all together, adding final touches, VO, Sound Effects and music.

The video was completed some time ago on time and the website launched on the 30th of August 2019.

You can also watch the video here in my portfolio and YouTube channel.

The client later asked me to create a simple logo for the website as well, featuring the two F letters in Fewer Funerals.

Testimonials

“I had Anders do an explainer animation video for my new website and I must say I couldn’t have picked a better guy. He kept me informed the whole time, sending me the work in progress for my approval. He was overflowing with ideas and suggestions which made me change a few things for much the better. His attention to detail was fantastic. At times I felt like it was his project the way he cared for it. Overall 10 out of 10.”
