Yuriy Polyashko How to Make an Animated Video in 24 Hours
Contents:
Animators have all kinds of tools at their disposal. The problem is, where do you look and how do you decide what you should double down on? If you wanted to make an animation video where would you even begin? Not to mention, it could take weeks if you don’t have the right team or resources behind you. For the sake of this article, we’re going to try to do you one better. Let’s walk through how you can make an animated video in 24 hours!
Templates are a sure way to get the ball rolling in the world of animation. Using templates are lighting fast and could have your finished product done in a matter of minutes instead of hours. You could make effective animation videos without studying the ins and outs of a platform. They are meant to be both fast and easy.
Lots of websites online provide thousands of templates and toolkits that you can add to your studio. Using a template gives you lots of pre-made options that minimize your learning curve. Video editors out there have sound/music libraries, transitions, and wonderfully designed scenes. Animation templates are great for all kinds of client needs including:
- Advertisements
- Social Media Posts
- Training Videos
- Presentations
- Announcements
- Company Updates
- Fundraisers
- And much more!
Here’s an example of how stunning templates work and what they look like. One of the main drawbacks of using templates is that it won’t be fully customized. However, if you’re in a crunch you need every time saving strategy available. That’s why templates are perfect for making an animation video in 24 hours.
Use an Animation Maker
There are excellent animation makers that are equipped with all of the tools you need to get your animation video completed in 24 hours. Bring any concept to life and personalize with colors, custom text, and stunning visuals. Not to mention, animation makers let you create videos in minutes even with a tight budget.
Let’s look at the features of one of the several animation makers out there: Biteable. Biteable lets you insert your own photos and clips before enhancing them with animation. Even if you don’t have your own footage, they provide stock footage so you can really save time. It’s not just generic footage that everybody else is using either. There are more than 75,000 stock footage options out there so you can truly make an original video.
When you’re adding animations and effects, you could add your studio brand logo and colors to your work. You can add your own sounds or sift through the sound library for even more customization. Not to mention, both free and paid plans are available with an easy sign-up process. If you’re in a crunch while you make an animation video in 24 hours, this is the perfect way to go.
Build Your Team
With little time to spare, it’s going to be difficult handling all of the animations on your own. Animations in 24 hours mean that you’re going to need more people with you going forward. You might be thinking, “But how could I hire a whole team in just a day”? Well luckily, there are freelancing websites such as Upwork and Fiverr where you can instantly hire people to take on projects. These kinds of websites have a track record and portfolios so you know exactly what kind of quality work you’re getting.

While you focus on getting your animated project done quickly, consider finding a project manager right away. A project manager specializes in the hiring process. It’s important to communicate with a project manager and go over your vision with them carefully. Map out an action plan for hiring the right specialists and criteria for your search.
Team Positions that You’ll Need to Target
Target at least two animators that you can work with. Experienced animators won’t need too many orders from you and don’t need any training. They handle your animations and know the ropes behind platforms and templates.
Next, find two illustrators that know how to persuade the audience, capture emotions, and entertain using digital visuals. They take messages and create digital illustrations so people can learn faster. Not to mention, illustrators are masters with paint and drawing programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Lastly, find a scriptwriter that handles the copy behind your animation video. Your scriptwriter handles anything word-related and comes up with creative ideas for narration. Once the scriptwriter organizes scenes with words, the other members of the team bring it to life with visuals. Having the right team behind you means that they will act swiftly. Animation videos completed in 24 hours are a much smoother process when everybody works together.
Finding Superior Talent
If you had to put the most effort somewhere in your 24-hour animated video, it would be getting on the same page with your superior team. Getting your team right the first time is going to save you lots of headaches in the long run. Certain people that work in animation understand your vision and could get the job done with minimal supervision. This means fewer questions asked, and more time spent directly on the animated video.
There are animators out there that could simply do it all. If you had the budget to afford a top-of-the-line person in animation, this is where you should put your money. It’s possible that one person could truly be a “jack of all trades” worker. That’s why you should spend at least some of your 24 hours looking for a true animation wizard.
They could do a little bit of everything including scripts, illustrations, voiceovers, sounds, and effects. Having a jack of all trades worker on your team is going to tackle unexpected obstacles and prevent any setbacks from happening.

This is something too complicated for me.
With such a detailed plan, everything is real)

It’s great that people who have succeeded in their work help others to develop!

There was an idea to create a video as a birthday present. All thanks to your work. Just inspired me.)
Services for finding freelancers and the programs listed are not bad and I think they will be useful in normal daily work too.
I had a brilliant idea for a startup: an animated video in one day! Worth a try I think
Great article. Thanks!)
Your knowledge helps me a lot in my work. Thanks for sharing.
In 24 hours, you can only get a presentation, but not an animated video.
I would like to see the result of such work.
If you have a good team and it’s worth it, you can take a risk. But I wouldn’t sign up for that.
Have you ever taken on such a project?
Tips are good and interesting. Thanks anyway)
I did not know that there are so many platforms for different types of activities. It’s very nice!
And I’m on the other side. I’m just a freelancer. Now I’m going to register on the sites that you described)
Well, if you use ready-made layouts, then everything can be.
Experience is also important in creating animation. I consider it one of the key factors that affect the speed of creation and the quality of animation production.
I wonder what prompted you to write such an article?)
I really like your blog for the style of writing. You should definitely keep working on it!
The topic is fresh and interesting. This is the first time I am reading this article. I really liked it.
Where did the idea for the article come from? Have you had experience making such a video?
I love creative creative people. It’s definitely about you.
Your blog grabbed my attention right from the start!
I like to set myself impossible tasks. Animated video in 24 hours? What. Will have to try. Still, this is a great idea!
The information you provide is truly invaluable!
Why make a video in 24 hours? Probably only when absolutely necessary.
Interesting article idea. Of course, I’m not going to make a video in one day 🙂 But for work I emphasized a lot of interesting points.
Just take it and do it.
Great guide to action!
Freelancers are my salvation. I work by myself and the extra hands help a lot.
The templates do not turn out such an attractive animation as I would like 🙁
Hey, great article!
Do you occasionally hire freelancers?
In our company, even freelancers are permanent 🙂 We work with the same people from time to time.
Highlighted a lot of interesting things.
Thanks!
You definitely need to keep writing articles like this. You have a talent!
The blog looks great. Everything is awesome!
I start my work as an illustrator in an animation studio. I read your articles all the time. Interesting!
Recently, your articles have become less. What is it connected with?
The blog is excellent.
It must be difficult to maintain perfection in everything? Many sections of the site and other things.
In any case, you are doing great.
Thank you for sharing this much needed information with us!
I have been reading the blog for over a year and only now I noticed that you are my countrymen from Ukraine. It’s nice to know that we have such talented people!
How many people are usually involved in making a video?
The animation is very complex. I haven’t been able to create anything yet. Especially for such a short time.
Very necessary information. Saved the article to bookmarks so as not to lose it.
Thanks for the ideas to simplify the work 🙂 I love when you can work less 🙂
Cool article!
Thanks for the new knowledge!
Well, now I want to try to make such a video 🙂
Useful article. Actually very useful.
At first I thought it was a joke, just an empty article. And when I opened it, I saw so many links, programs and ideas. Very satisfied!
Thanks for the info, I even wrote down some of it.
What a fascinating world of animation. I even managed to do something.
I did not know that there are such sites for freelancers. Now I have found a part-time job. Cool!
I don’t really understand templates.
Many are already in the works, but not all. It’s always good to follow bloggers.
For a day, you can probably only make graphs and diagrams, or something like that.
Mega helpful! Thanks!
Good advice. I think it will come in handy in the future.
Animation Maker is a great program. I can recommend to use. I often use it at work.
With the right team, anything can be done. The main thing is the people who work with you.
This is the first time I hear about templates. Never worked with them. It became interesting. I’m going to try now.
Well, about the talents. But it is very difficult to find good specialists now.
It was interesting to learn the process of creating animation in more detail.
Fascinatingly. You are so interesting to talk about all this. Well done!
Emphasized something new. It’s always good to read this blog. My friends think so too.
You are probably ready to talk about animation for days. And don’t repeat your words. You probably know everything about her. Fiction!
Thanks for sharing your experience. What I have been looking for in one place.
Thank you for the article. You have collected relevant information for us!
I love everything to do with animation. This is great!
I know about these programs. Perhaps there are new programs for animation?
Already using this article at work!
I just think over and create a storyboard for a few days. I don’t know exactly how to make an animation in a day 🙂
Which video of yours was made in 24 hours? I want to take a look at it.
If it’s just a video with simple circuits or something like that. That of course can be done. Even faster than 24 hours. I can do a presentation in a couple of hours.
But here we are talking about a real video with character animation. Right?
I noticed a lot of interesting things for work. Thanks.
You are always able to tell me something new about the world of animation. I seemed to know everything. But not all.
Great interesting article. Everything is as it should be on your site.
Good luck and prosperity 🙂
Inexhaustible topic.
I was so interested to learn about working life hacks from you
Great article. The best I’ve read on the subject.
It turned out pretty interesting.
Thank you for the wonderful material!
Informative.
Good article. I love doing experiments like this.
Only professionals can create high-quality work in 24 hours. And that is a very difficult task.
An unusual topic for an article. You like to stand out, that’s for sure.
Well, actually this slide show will turn out. But it’s still interesting.
Creating artistic animation takes a lot of time and practice. Therefore, do not be disappointed if not everything will work out right away.
What you said is a simple animation. But even this requires a lot of effort.
Everything cool. But it will be faster through illustrator. The functionality is clearer. Well, maybe it’s just for users.
Thank you for the article! As always, everything is clear and to the point!
No extra information, just the way I like it. It was intersting to read.
To be honest, I thought that the process of creating animation is much more complicated. But based on your words, it turns out you can start simple. This is what I will do now.
Cool! I would like to learn!
Can someone tell me where you can learn the whole process, the subtleties of creating an animated video?
I stumbled across this article purely by accident. There was an idea to make a gift in the form of a video. But the holiday is in two days. Will I be able to make it?
You are the only one who could make this content interesting. Well done!
Like from me.
Everything was explained in simple and understandable terms. THX
Very helpful, thank you!
If you have a graphics tablet, things become even easier. Draw for yourself and that’s it.
I’m already doing animation. The method is really simple. I advise.
Now I understand how difficult it is to make animation. So many programs, different tasks. Probably only a year I will understand this.
How to make animation with motion?
I make animations in Animate, the program is easy to use
Hey! Now I will do it. I don’t know what will happen.
Thank you very much again!
I love your ideas and your videos. You are a great studio. I hope your articles will be published more often.
Cool idea about the video for 24 hours. Definitely worth a try. I want to make a simple cartoon.
In general, I liked the idea. Needs to be implemented. Only we have never had such orders before.
You are able to simply talk about complex things. I would like that skill.
Such programs are suitable for simpler videos. How about more complex jobs? What programs are most suitable for creating complex animation?
As always the best!
So far it’s too hard for me…
Mega useful article and blog as a whole. Great job!
I really need a good editor for animation. So far I can’t find it.
Is it possible to make an infographic?
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Interesting and high quality!
Fine. Just what I was looking for.
Can you do all this from your phone?
You mentioned good programs. I will try to use them in my work.
I love reading about animation. Maybe someday I will decide to work with her.
Thanks for the review. Great article
