A table read is a review and rehearsal of the script. The video production team and the client/talent will read aloud and review the script making any changes needed to make the script sound more professional.

Rehearsing your lines beforehand can make table reads go faster and make them more fruitful for both the client and production team.

Motion graphics are excellent for telling a story or giving an overview of a specific subject, story, or concept, creating an overview that is engaging and explanatory. Motion graphics are typically shorter in length (typically 2-3 minutes). If your topic requires a more in-depth overview, it may be wise to consider a different form of production.

Motion graphics are pieces of animation or digital footage that create the illusion of motion or rotation and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. Motion graphics are an exceptional way to communicate with the viewer, and can add depth to the story. Motion graphics means graphics in movement. Many times, motion graphics is also called motion design, making the relationship between movement and design elements easier to understand.

When creating a motion graphics project, as with most projects, we require a script. In addition to this, a video professional will need to create a storyboard to be reviewed with the client based off of the script for approval before the piece is created. A storyboard is a graphic organizer with sequential drawings used to plan a narrative. Storyboards are a good way to present timing and pacing of a narrative.
