How does the feedback work?
Between each step in the process, versions of the text and illustrations are sent back and forth to the client for feedback This can be done by email or telephone, until you’re completely satisfied with the content of the final film. After you’ve given us the definitive ‘GO’, we dive into the film studio to […]
What’s the process of making a film with Bord&Stift?
We begin the process with an extensive interview of 2-3 hours. This allows us to explore the content and get a good idea of the film’s core message. Then our copywriter starts working on a first draft. You give feedback on the text until it’s exactly what you want. Once the text is decided, our […]
How much time to I need to commit to being involved in making the film?
As much time as you want! On average the client spends 3-5 hours per video. We begin the process with an extensive interview about content, which usually lasts 2 hours. We need that time to get the detail straight. From then on, we take over the process and the only time you need to contribute […]
I don’t have any ideas for the film yet, can we still begin?
Of course! In fact, even if you do have ideas for the film, you’ll probably still want to talk about it in-depth. But don’t worry, you don’t need to have a clear idea of what you want or even a briefing prepared for us. In the first interview we’ll ask all the questions we need […]
Who are some of your previous clients?

How do we contact each other? Do we need an in-person appointment or is everything done via email?

Can you make videos in other languages?
Certainly. So far we’ve made films in Flemish, French, Spanish, Arabic, Berber and German. We have an external agency translate the text and we provide a voice-over in the relevant language.
Do you have additional services besides whiteboard videos?
As well as making videos our illustrators are also available for live drawing events. They create a visual record of events during a meeting, event or conference. In addition, we can also drop by your office for a drawing workshop. Why take minutes when your team can process ideas and plans clears in a drawing? […]
What is your lead time?
We need 6 weeks from the first interview. In our experience that’s how much time we need for everyone to enjoy the process and deliver a good end product. If you need a film faster, it’s sometimes possible, but depends on our planning and availability.
Do you have discounts for foundations/NGOs?
We have a limited budget available for shorter, discounted films. Please get in touch to discuss it.
