Coeliac UK Live Well Gluten Free app!
Earlier this year, we had the privilege of teaming up with Coeliac UK to develop an animated explainer video for their Live Well Gluten Free app!
Our mission at Koala was to make the content as accessible and engaging as possible, so we streamlined the on-screen text and added dynamic voiceovers and graphics. The final product? A concise, 2-minute video that not only introduces the app’s features but also guides users through it step by step. Whether you watch it on the website, social media, or via email, this video is designed to help coeliacs and their families live well and stay informed.
Need something similar for your brand? Don’t bear the burden alone—Koala-fy 🐨 your content with us! Get in touch, and let’s make it happen!

Ever wondered how the creative process in video production begins? 🤔 Animatics are like the blueprint of your favourite films and animations! 📽️🎨
🖌️ An Animatic is a preliminary visual representation of a video or animation, combining rough sketches, storyboards, and audio elements to map out the flow and timing of a project.
🎯 It helps creatives, directors, and producers visualise their vision before diving into the production process. It's like the first draft of a masterpiece!
📝 Storyboarding + Sound + Motion = Animatics! 🎵🖼️🏃
Get ready to dive deeper into the behind-the-scenes magic of video production with our Christmas Campaign for SimpliSafe UK!

SimpliSafe Christmas Campaign
From today, we're unwrapping our Christmas campaign for SimpliSafe UK, starting with the storyboard. 🎄
Storyboarding is the creative roadmap for your video campaign. It's where ideas come to life, helping our client visualise the entire narrative, scene by scene. We crafted this koala-ty storyboard for SimpliSafe and it's becomes the director's canvas, the scriptwriter's vision board, and the editor's blueprint - all in one!
By creating a solid storyboard, we're making sure every shot, angle, and transition align with our creative vision and with SimpliSafe's holiday goals. It saves time, money, and ensures we're all on the same sleigh during the production process.
So, before the cameras roll and the holiday magic begins, it all starts with a simple sketch on a storyboard.
🎨 Lights, camera, storyboard - ACTION! 📽️💥

The Koala crew were recently given the delightful task of creating a video ad for Butcher's Dog Food using User Generated Content (UGC), and the results? Well, let's just say they're paws-itively amazing! 🍖🐾
Butcher's mission is as simple as it is heartwarming: they believe that EVERY dog deserves to enjoy a British-made, wholesome bowlful of food every day. 🇬🇧🐕 So, why does UGC work wonders for brands like this?
🌟 Authenticity: UGC has a knack for capturing those real, heartwarming moments, putting the genuine love between dogs and their owners on full display.
🌟 Fun & Upbeat: We've embraced the natural, fun shots that are not just upbeat but also punchy in look and feel. Just look at those furry friends' tails wag with excitement! 🐾
🌟 Community Connection: With UGC, we build a sense of community as we involve real people and their pets. It's not just about the products; it's about the shared love for our four-legged companions.
Here's a 10-second taster - no pun intended - of how we've artfully woven UGC into every frame. Stay tuned for the tail-wagging 30-second video, that is on screens now!
