How to cut your video
Mark Pavlyshyn
How to cut your video budget by 40% without losing quality?
A client needed a full product motion video, but the budget was tight. Animating every UI step from scratch was too expensive. We took a risk: blending complex graphics with strategic stock footage.
We feared it might look "cheap," but here is how we made it premium:
Contrast: Use stock for emotion, UI for functionality.
Color: Match the interface palette to the footage tones.
Meaning: Show the person solving a problem, not just the buttons.
The right mix makes the video feel "alive" and aesthetic without bloating the invoice.
Which video trend do you think is currently the most overrated?
