Custom Explainer Video by Ian David Marsden

lient presenting project needs to the architect, discussing graph database requirements and strategies.

When Tom Geudens from Elephant Bird Consulting entrusted me with creating an illustrated workflow explainer video for graph database modeling, I aimed to deliver a clear, engaging, and visually appealing presentation. This project followed the development process step-by-step, showcasing how the architect, database administrator, and developers collaborate to build a successful graph database.

Tom, one of the foremost experts in the field of graph databases, illustrates the collaborative process of graph database development. From the initial client briefing to the architect’s strategic planning, through the database administrator’s management of technical workflows, and finally to the developers bringing the project to life, the video uses custom illustrations and animations to tell the story. Each character was designed to embody their specific role, creating a clear and engaging narrative. As a regular client of mine, Tom entrusted me to visually communicate the intricacies of this process, showcasing his deep expertise and the teamwork required to build successful graph databases. This video not only simplifies complex concepts but also highlights Tom’s leadership in the field.

Using my expertise in illustrating and animating custom explainer videos, I designed vibrant character illustrations and graphic elements that simplify the workflow while maintaining audience engagement. These animations connect technical concepts to relatable visuals, making the information accessible for viewers of all backgrounds.
