A Case Study
BND Design
Motion & Sound Design by Heather CrankThe Big
Deal
From 2016 -2020 the Crahmanti team was commissioned by BND DSGN Founder René Mitchell and Co-Founder Martha Murray to create exhibits, openers, and commercials (in collaboration with Ghost Village Films) for The Bend Design Conference. We also joined forces with the BND DSGN programming team to acquire speakers, films, and entertainment.
The Big Results The BND DSGN Conference sold out 2017, 2018, and 2019, and still held its own in 2020 even though the conference broadcasted virtually while we were all in COVID lockdown. People came from all over the United States, filling downtown BND with a full week of creativity and inspiration.

Social Media is one of the most effective places for content distribution. Most companies post ads on social media platforms. Motion design is a great way to break down complex information and concepts. As well as a wonderful way to show off the personality of a brand.
Motion keeps people watching instead of scrolling. The average attention span of human beings currently ranges between 8-10 seconds. Motion Design on its own or incorporated with video has become one of most effective and powerful marketing tools available for brand storytelling. In fact, 86% of businesses use video as a marketing tool and 87% of marketers say video has helped them increase traffic.
The process is time consuming. One second of 2-d animation takes roughly an hour to complete. A 60 second 2-d animation takes 60 hours to animate. Add in the creation of storyboards, assets, revisions and sound design...and you have several weeks if not months of work. 3-D Animations take twice as long to animate with render times than can take hours and sometimes days to complete.
