Whiteboard Animations
A whiteboard animation is a specific type of explanatory video that combines video of pen strokes with an audible explanation. This form of digital media is particularly effective at explaining complex mechanisms or issues in a short and concise way. The best whiteboard animations are the ones whose audible script and illustrations complement each other in a way that supports the author’s narrative / thesis.
