Testimonials
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.
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.
It was so amazing to watch the ideas become reality. Seeing the first illustrations and storyboards was so exciting. The talent and creativity was unbelievable!
I am impressed by the professionalism and quality of the work, from the drawings to the voiceovers, and everything in between.
I am thrilled with the engaging and informative video we now have and want everyone to see it. I think it hits the mark exactly for what we wanted and am proud of the result we achieved.
Being part of a large academic institution, one of our challenges is concisely communicating the breadth of our brand and mission. Imaginary Lava helped us successfully tell our story in a clear, succinct, impactful way.
Working with such an imaginative team was just the right external perspective we needed, and they were timely, creative, and thoughtful at every step of the way.
We are thrilled with the final product and are already using the video as a key marketing piece with our network. Couldn’t recommend them more!
My two biggest fears before hiring Imaginary Lava were that we wouldn’t be able to find a firm that understood our brand and our values, and that we wouldn’t finish the project in time for our hard deadline. But these fears couldn’t have been farther from what happened.
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!
Imaginary Lava played a core role in helping us tell our story. They translated our new and radical idea into something EVERYONE could understand. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to stand out and chart their own course!
Imaginary Lava was absolutely superb in the planning, styling, and delivery of our video. With a specific budget and a short turnaround time, IL was able to deliver a spectacular product. We enjoyed working with them so much we plan on working with them again on a new series of videos!
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. And perhaps best of all – they take joy in their work!
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.
