The animated video we created with Imaginary Lava helped us secure and WIN the legislation we were hoping to pass!

New Hampshire invested $60.5 million into childcare over the next two years (more than double the highest amount ever allocated) including funding for all the provisions of the Child Care for New Hampshire Working Families Act – namely, the change that our video sought to explain. [Case Study]

The legislation we passed this year is REALLY going to help families. We simplified our childcare scholarship program and made it more accessible and affordable for families. Low-income families will pay a max of 7% of their income on child care costs, saving some folks THOUSANDS of dollars a year. This matters!

Thank you for all that you did to work with us to make this video an easy-to-understand reality. It worked!

I heard from countless partners and legislators that the video helped them understand – and helped them in their advocacy efforts, too.

We were incredibly happy with the way Imaginary Lava was able to translate our ideas and our desired tone into reality. 10 days after posting our video, it has received over 400,000 views [Case Study] and it has been praised widely for breaking down a complicated topic in a way that balances the gravity of the topic with levity and optimism.

Imaginary Lava laid out a clear, specific timeline and held us to it. Given how busy my co-founders and I are, we needed to work with a team that could both create beautiful work and manage the project execution masterfully. We were able to get the project done ahead of time, with a high degree of confidence on all of our parts.

The Imaginary Lava team runs a tight ship. They lay out the production process with extreme clarity, walk their clients through each step, and balance providing options with weighing in with their professional advice.  They helped us take a difficult concept, turn it into a compelling script and set of visuals, and bring everything together into an amazing final product.

The video brought us a great deal of visibility upon launch — but more importantly, it is serving as the cornerstone of our visual brand. We’ve placed it front and center on our website and social media profiles because it so succinctly and creatively shows what we are about.

Initially, I was concerned about our ability to effectively communicate complex information about our program within a concise and engaging video format. I was worried that essential details might be lost given the amount of information in the draft script that we started with.

However, the Imaginary Lava team demonstrated a remarkable ability to synthesize our content and translate it into a clear, impactful, and visually appealing video that exceeded our expectations.

My favorite aspect of working with Imaginary Lava was their exceptional responsiveness and accommodating, collaborative approach. They were consistently available, readily addressed our questions and concerns, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to understanding our vision.

Their team possessed the creativity and imagination necessary to transform the complex concepts of our project into concrete, actionable steps, resulting in a truly outstanding final product.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Imaginary Lava to anyone seeking a talented and reliable video production partner.

They not only possess the technical expertise to deliver high-quality videos, but also the creative vision and collaborative spirit to bring your ideas to life.

Thanks to their efforts, we were able to effectively communicate our message, increase audience engagement, and achieve our desired outcomes.

Imaginary Lava understood our needs better than many companies I’ve worked with in the past. They produced three videos that were highly creative, engaging for our patients, and matched our brand standards to a T. And perhaps most importantly—and shockingly—they finished the project earlier than expected. It was so easy to work with them from start to finish.

My favorite parts about working with Imaginary Lava were their creativity and their communication. The animations that were produced were engaging and the suggestions we received about specific scenes were usually spot on. But if we did want to edit or tweak something, they were accommodating, understanding, and turned the edit around very quickly. Overall they were a real pleasure to work with. They made working with them simple and straight forward. The type of communication that I received from Imaginary Lava put my mind at ease and allowed me to work on other projects simultaneously, knowing full well that our project was on track and in good hands.

You should definitely reach out to Imaginary Lava. They produced a series of animated videos for us that were educational, engaging, and super cute! They were so easy to work with and finished the project not just on time, but early!

I really didn’t know anything about Imaginary Lava when we began this process, but I saw some of their great work online. It felt like I was taking a leap of faith because they are based out of California, and we were in Maryland. But they were extremely responsive and transparent as we talked through all the details prior to us entering into an agreement. They got back to every one of my questions/emails quickly. They addressed every concern and collaborated with me to help fulfill our vision.

I really appreciated that my thoughts, and ideas were fully incorporated throughout the project and then enhanced upon in the final product. I also liked Imaginary Lava’s overall creative and upbeat style of communication. Lastly, it was very exciting to see the project unfold step-by-step. I was consulted on each step throughout.

I believe this company understands the big picture when working with clients. They are very thorough and clear. They are very interested in customer satisfaction. The final product is excellent.

A colleague that I trust recommended Imaginary Lava for video work on school funding. I was worried that such a complex topic would be hard to make interesting, and even harder to pack into 2 or 3 minutes! But they had had such a positive experience and their final video was compelling and well-made, so we gave it a go.

We ended up with a final product that is clear, easy-to-understand, and very helpful for folks to visualize exactly the source of the confusion and misunderstandings about the way schools in Ohio are funded. I couldn’t have asked for more.

It was a delight to work with Imaginary Lava, who laid out the process very clearly and outlined expectations and timelines up front. They also lent their expertise on music, graphics, etc. and in areas we have little experience while being flexible and allowing us to take the lead on subject matter content. They were professional, timely, and enthusiastic throughout the project.

I would tell anyone considering infographic style video work to take a look at IL’s portfolio and consider it especially if they have a problem, narrative, or story that would be enhanced by visual story telling. Imaginary Lava helped us distill a very confusing topic into a short video to show lawmakers and the public, and hopefully help a variety of stakeholders gain a new understanding – not just about school funding but about the manner in which we are investing in our children and ultimately our future.
