Dynamic Mood Boards is in a video form and can utilized animation, stills and moving images, and sound.  When either one is used correctly, it can set the tone or evoke emotion too.  Verbal communication is fabulous when used effectively to describe a vision when pitching concepts.  Static and Dynamic Mood Boards incorporated into the concept, strategy and execution works exponentially that transcend verbal communication to tell the visual area of communication.
