From one birthday to the next is a whole circle of 365 days of memories, milestones, important events, and more. Making a special year in review birthday video can help the person celebrating the birthday feel special and look at all the happy moments they’ve come past.
It will help them gain a lot of positivity and feel all the good vibes on their special day.
To create a year-in-review birthday video, all you need to do is collect the details about all the significant happenings in the past year from friends and family and the things that you already know.
If there are photos and clips from the special moments, you can add them to the video, insert texts, properties, music, and more!
But, if there are not many video clips or photos, you can still work with characters, animations, and stock assets available within the tool that tell the story effectively!
Wishes and greetings from friends and family
One of the best birthday wishes video ideas is making a compilation of all the wishes from friends and family in a video is the sweetest gesture you can do for someone on their birthday.
The birthday video wishes ideas need not be just people yelling “Happy Birthday”. The video can be made interesting, quirky, and fun with a host making the video in an interview format where a lot of questions can be asked about the person celebrating the birthday that will make it a creative birthday video message idea.
Some birthday video message ideas include - spill out some secrets, share their favorite memory together, or talk about the person. All the video clips can be arranged together and to top it up, you can add screen effects, transitions, music, properties, stickers, and more!
Birthday stories for Instagram, Facebook & Snapchat
Birthdays are not all about just personal video wishes. You can create videos and post them on social media as well.
Instead of just writing “Happy Birthday” on the Facebook wall, or hunting down a photo and overlaying it with a birthday wish, you can get creative and make a special birthday video wish in minutes.
You don’t even have to spend a lot of time in making these videos as templates that suit the vertical trend are readily available on Animaker itself.
You can get creative with your stories by making a video with the vertical video maker and post them on your Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook stories!
Birthday Quotes
A simple yet exciting way to make the person celebrating the birthday feel special is through birthday quotes.
Birthday quotes are short, sweet, and gives you scope to get creative with the images and videos. You can upload the clips and images of the one celebrating the birthday and make it creative by matching it to the quote.
You can personalize the video by collecting quotes from friends and family and put it together in the video along with their photos or even the people saying the quotes out loud!
