Unlockd

2d animated promo
Unlockd Finance, a cutting-edge DeFi platform, entrusted our studio with creating an animated video to introduce its unique product to a wider audience.
The primary goal was to explain complex concepts such as NFT-backed loans and DeFi in a clear and accessible way, engaging both experienced market participants and newcomers alike.
Despite the growing interest in NFT and DeFi, many users struggle to fully understand their capabilities and processes.
Our task was to showcase the advantages of Unlockd, emphasizing its innovation, technological security, and user-friendly experience.
At the same time, it was crucial to present the product in a vibrant and memorable format to enhance user engagement and attract new clients.

Goals

Our animation studio was entrusted with an ambitious challenge: to develop a promo video for Unlockd that would clearly and effectively communicate the company’s innovative concept.

Key Objectives of the Project:
1️⃣ Creating a Recognizable Visual Language – We needed to design a style that reflected both the modernity and technological sophistication of the brand while also building trust and capturing audience interest.
2️⃣ Intuitive Presentation of Complex Ideas – It was crucial to convey Unlockd’s core values, such as reliability, security, and an innovative approach to finance, without overwhelming viewers with technical jargon.
3️⃣ Maximizing Viewer Engagement – The video had to not only inform but also hold the audience’s attention, showcasing the simplicity and advantages of using Unlockd.
4️⃣ Adapting to the Target Audience – The animation needed to be accessible to both finance professionals and newcomers interested in modern financial solutions.

These objectives required a comprehensive approach, from developing a unique visual style to crafting a script and animation that work seamlessly together to achieve the desired impact.
To achieve the set goals and objectives, we developed a structured process consisting of eight key stages.
Each stage was designed to create a well-thought-out, visually engaging, and informative video that aligns with the client’s vision and effectively conveys Unlockd’s core values.
These steps allowed us to establish a clear workflow, ensuring high-quality execution and a final product that meets audience expectations.
