2.           What Is Whiteboard Animation

Whiteboard animation is the process that the author draws an illustrated story on a whiteboard or something is white.

Usually, the color is black and white but it can be colorful as well. Viewers can see the whole drawing process, which is engaging. Typically, whiteboard animation is accompanied by a vivid narrative, and viewers can follow the drawing step by step.

It is much easier to make whiteboard animation videos compared with those traditional videos as you don't need to shoot videos.

It is widely used on YouTube, campaign and business/ promotion videos on television. It is an excellent alternative to the text as people are becoming less sensitive to images and text. Within 8 seconds, you will try your best to attract users' attention.
