Flowchart/Workflow videos from the 2000s

January 24, 2019 7:03 AM

We vaguely remember some short videos where a guy would draw a flowchart or diagram explaining a topic. I think they were humorous and may even have been commercials for something. Topics would be something like UPS workflow. Does anyone have any idea what these might have been?

Best answer: I remember commercials like that - I googled "UPS logistics ad whiteboard" and found a bunch of them, if that's what you have in mind.

Response by poster: i kept using workflow instead of logistics and I didn't remember they were ads until I wrote my question here. I am usually pretty good at the google. I'm almost positive that is what my wife was talking about. Thanks!

Are you thinking of whiteboard animations by TruScribe? They've done commercials for Microsoft and PayPal, among others, as well as the music video for "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Mission Statement."

You might also find the catalog of work from RSA Animate interesting.
