Celebrating 10 Years of Drawmation Studios

The Adventure of Hand-drawn Videos

I just did the math and realized I've been making animated whiteboard shorts with my video partner, Stephen Bohls, for over 10 years! In the spring of 2014 our boys were going to the same elementary school.

One day as we dropped them off, I asked Stephen, "Want to try your hand at a whiteboard video?" My graphic recording clients had been asking for "quick-draw" and "explainer" videos and I was sure that between my storyboard skills and Stephen's video + editing expertise we could figure out how to make one ---and we did! 

In fact, the father and son with the red balloon at the beginning of both our show reels feature animation sequences from that very first demo video, "People love Pictures," which was the beginning of our Drawmation Studios collaboration. (You can see lots of others on the Sketch Videos page.)

 Over 10 years and dozens of whiteboard animated videos later, we wanted to share some of our footage with you.
