GoAnimate enables businesses to make videos on their own, in a fast and efficient manner. The results are high-end and professional, and the technology behind this service is user-friendly. Gary Lipkowitz, the company’s chief operating officer, explains it all to us in this interview.

Q: What was the inspiration for GoAnimate and how long did it take you to create this business?

Gary Lipkowitz: Back around the end of 2007, Alvin (the founder) wanted to make a video. He looked at the plethora of unsuitable options available and thought, “This is going to be tough. I’m going to need to buy a camera, lights,s etc. and learn how to use them. Or learn to draw. Or learn some super-complex Pixar-type animation interface.” Luckily, when the going gets tough, the tough get coding!

Being of an entrepreneurial bent, he built out a team to develop the platform. About a year and a half later, they plugged it in. And it worked. Point, click, drag, drop. Voila! Animated videos for everyone. (More detail here: https://www.vyond.com/about)”
