Engagement and viewability are important metrics to measure when trying to launch a successful business video. They measure how much of the video that viewer watches and if they interact with a call to action.

So with that in mind, here's a few quick tips on how to make the characters in your video a little more personable.

210% After Effects
Whoa, check this video out by Anders Hatte.
