We tell AnyStory

worth telling

AnyStory

It is our mission to create understanding between people. To do this, we create a lot of video content for our clients. And while this is great, AnyStories are a little different…

Every other month we publish a new video about a topic that we (and you) feel is relevant to the world. This can literally be about any story. Working with Cooler Media contributes to the creation of these non-profit videos since we donate about 10% of our profits to this project.

Tim Flohrer

Head of Space Debris – European Space Agency (ESA)

“Modern societies are increasingly dependent on applications and services through a space-based infrastructure. The growth of space debris puts the sustainable use of space at risk and ESA is very interested in raising the awareness about space debris. Working on an animation addressing space debris with the team of Cooler Media has been an excellent opportunity resulting in a concise, appealing, and content-rich video that supports ESA’s outreach spot-on.”

AnyStory FAQ's

Collaborating with us on the AnyStory won’t cost you anything. At most it will require about an hour of your time for a knowlegde session and roughly another hour to review the final scrit and distribute the video.

If you’re enhusiastic, you’re welcome to follow along in the subsequent steps of the production process. The actual value of the AnyStory is difficult to express in a fixed amount, as it depends on factors such as the techniques used and the length of the video, which determines the number of production hours involved. We strive to make each AnyStory better. If you were to commission an AnyStory, you should expect a rate of approximately 10,000 euros per minute.

We provide each AnyStory aimation with a unique design that we create in-house and then animate. This project allows our specialists to have creative freedom and develop certain skills. Think of a scriptwriter, producer, art director, designer, animator, and marketer. In other words, an AnyStory is comparable to our Cooler Special animations, our most exclusive product!

We always tell our creative team, “Make it awesome!” Additionally, we strive to share the AnyStories with as broad an audience as possible. That means it should be understandable for everyone and interesting to anyone, from your neighbor to your manager, and even the student who delivers your groceries. We also consider the following:

  • It provides an objective analysis of a specific issue. We don’t lean towards opinions and always highlight multiple sides of the story.
  • It includes scientifically proven information. That’s why we collaborate with knowledgeable partners! We only share factual information and eliminate misinformation.
  • It tells a unique story that has received little attention or requires further explanation. We don’t want more of the same! However, we welcome more depth or a different perspective.

Once we enter into a partnership with a client, we immediately start with the planning process. Typically, the turnaround time for an AnyStory is 6 weeks from the start of the collaboration. However, this may vary depending on the topic. Some issues are better suited for specific seasons or periods, and we take that into consideration. Regardless, we always prioritize the production of our AnyStory, so you won’t have to wait long to see the final result!

Not at all! Our mission is to explain important matters. After that, you can continue working with your current video, design, and animation provider. But of course, you can always give us a call. 😉

We take care of the entire creative process, so you as a partner don’t have to do much! We utilize your expertise for the knowledge, and we use our expertise to translate it into a powerful AnyStory animation. However, we always appreciate extra involvement. During the knowledge session, you can contribute your thoughts on style choices. Additionally, we can involve you in intermediate stages such as the storyboard and the initial version of the video, in addition to the script.
