HeadLight Brand Introduction
Client: HeadLight
Role: Full Service Production - Outline to Final Render
Tools Used: After Effects, Illustrator, Audition
HeadLight helps construction companies track job sites in real time. Instead of relying on paper-based inspections or end-of-week reports, their platform allows users to take pictures on-site, upload them instantly, and make them searchable for everyone involved. Our goal was to create a video showing how HeadLight simplifies job site inspections and improves collaboration.
What We Did
Kickoff and Script Writing
Stephanie and I started with a call to understand HeadLight’s needs.
We outlined key points and worked together on a script, refining it until it was just right.
Storyboarding and Design
With multiple year-end projects on my plate, I brought in Sarah, a designer, to help.
I coordinated between Stephanie and Sarah to ensure the storyboard met HeadLight’s expectations.
Animatic and Voiceover
I created a rough animation (animatic) with a scratch voiceover to test the pacing.
We chose a strong female voice for the final read to stand out from typical construction industry voices.
Animation and Edits
I animated the video in After Effects, building it as a flexible template in case future updates were needed.
After initial feedback, I made revisions, added sound effects, and replaced placeholder footage with licensed clips.
The Result
The final video was clear, engaging, and effectively showcased HeadLight’s value. The decision to use a female voice added a unique touch, and the flexible design ensures the video can be updated easily. Working with HeadLight was a great experience, and the project turned out fantastic.
