Animation is an exciting way to communicate with your clients, prospects, staff, and the general public. Animation and explainer videos allow your teams to show things that is beyond the capability of traditional video.

Using animated text and imagery or character, corporate animation or an explainer video can communicate with your audience in a way that will make your messages impactful, memorable, and effective. Research shows that people remember more of what they see and do than what they read. Thus, your message is likely to stay with them much longer than using text alone.

We at Macro offer an extensive range of corporate animation styles, encompassing both digital and hand-drawn, explainer, motion graphics/typography, character, 2D and 3D. One great option we provide is cost-effective corporate animations, as this is an informal and entertaining format to convey your message. We put this together using drawings and props on a whiteboard, resulting in a cohesive message presentation. We can additionally provide you the complete complement of related services, such as scripting, storyboarding and video hosting.

Your brochures, manuals, ads, or any text with images represent the “face” of your company. It is essential to maintain your document's layout consistently after translation. Our professional desktop publishing services will adapt your content and images that you use to market or distribute among international customers to a set industry standard, preserving your message across all target markets.

We can work in any format, whether it be InDesign, Illustrator, Quark, AUTOCad, or menu layout for eLearning. We return them back translated to make your documents communicate as effectively in the target languages as they do in your source language, while maintaining their appearance and message. If you only have PDF files, we will rebuild the layout for you and provide you with the new formatted files for future use.

Translated text may contract or expand (sentence length can increase by 30% or more) and so may the formatted layout of your document. To preserve the original layout and formatting, our DTP team will be hard at work, correctly inserting the translation back into your document and adjusting the layout accordingly to ensure the layout is pristine.

Our dedicated in-house team creates subtitles that enhance the impact of your content and highlight the most important part of your messaging. We are experienced in the art of preserving clarity for the most complex messages.

We can provide you with:

• Standalone subtitle files – e.g. SMI, BITMAP
• An encoded master video file – e.g. ProRes, MOV, WMV
• A fully authored DVD with language selection, menu and artwork

We provide subtitles for films, broadcast, presentation, and promotional clips, as well as any of your other audio-visual material. This service is produced by experienced subtitlers who only subtitle into their native language. Subtitled material is then proofread by a second linguist to ensure accuracy and the quality of the final product. We are able to deliver subtitles in a variety of different file formats to suit your situation.

Our specialist subtitling service can also provide subtitles for closed captioning. These subtitles provide useful information to help viewers get a clear understanding of the audio-visual material presented in a form that is designed specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing.
