Does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive tool that can help product animation videos, and/or whiteboard animations? I have a local resource who does them but his entry point is $5K and that’s high for most of my clients.

@joanmuschampfagnani Hello Joan, have you ever made some experiments with animoto? with it you can already create some effective video clips for your customers and save big bucks

Animoto is a good tool and you might want to check out  http://goanimate.com/

They have a free version and a paid version for business (starting at $39/mo). Seems like it might be a nice tool. I have only played around a bit with the free version.

I’ve seen a number of people do free/inexpensive demo videos (mostly an advanced talking head video). 

Peter Shankman has one on training for an ironman. Please note that the link to it below is NSFW! However, it is funny (IMHO.)
