So many birthday gifts are bought at the last minute. They’re rushed, unimaginative, and uninspired. However, in these troubled times, it’s more important than ever to show the people who mean the most to you just how much you care.

That’s where our video-maker comes in. By building premium birthday videos, you’re solidifying your bond with your loved one, resulting in life-long ties and joy. It’s an original idea that will impress not just the recipient, but all of their friends and family too!

You have three choices of video you can create.

Short-form: This is usually 30 seconds of images and videos to send your best wishes without hogging their day.

Long-form: This can be anything from one minute to five minutes long if you want to tell more of a story or showcase your affection in front of a crowd at a birthday party or event.

Animation: As quick as a birthday balloon popping, this kind of video puts a unique spin on the typical image used on Facebook or Instagram to wish someone a “happy birthday.”

1. Unleash your creativity. Let out your inner film director and produce a video with a theme that represents your relationship, whether it’s emotion, playfulness, or longevity.
   2. Use striking visuals. Keep in mind that you want your well-wishes to stand out from the rest. Stick to specific imagery, colors and fonts that will resonate with the recipient and other viewers.
   3. Tell your story with subtitles. Consider using quotes or anecdotes to annotate your visuals and enhance the narrative of your video.
   4. Add relevant music. Use a song from the Boosted library that conveys the right mood—or you can upload a birthday-themed song from your own library.
   5. Consider your platform. Optimize your video for Facebook using the 16:9 landscape format, for Instagram Stories using the 9:16 portrait, and for an Instagram Feed post using the 1:1 square.
