Hi Eileen, thanks for chiming in :)

Yes. The animation will come to support visually some written
instructions that we already have on our installation manuals which
includes a list of computer brands. See attachment.

We're already aware that the phone lookup part is the most unclear one.
I proposed the animators to use something like the drawing in
attachment. Do you think that it would be clearer?
I think that we need to find something that more precise while still
being generic enough so that people don't think that they have to look
up their computer in the table in the animation itself :)

The initial objective of the animation is to explain how to use the boot
menu ("spam the key" as Emma would say) at 00:25. I tried to keep the
animation as short as possible but it felt strange to not include
something about how to find which key to spam.

Definitely. I forgot about that half-way through the project, I think!

Thanks! The animator is based in Berlin actually, in case you need one
for Simply Secure some day :)
