What is An Explainer Video?

An explainer video is a video that explains what you do or simplifies a complex concept. The best explainer videos are able to convey the message in a way that is easy to understand.

For most businesses, this is a great way to show what problem you solve, and why people should buy from you. As part of our production services, we’ll help you incorporate video in your sales and marketing strategy.

Explainer videos can be either live action, character animation, motion graphics, or any video style you can think of. The only limit is your creativity. Creating a good quality explainer video is a creative process that involves concept development, script writing, storyboarding, illustration, animation, video and sound editing.

We created this 60 second explainer video to help answer that same question: what is an explainer video?

Video Explainers

Promote your product

Please don’t buy what they don’t understand. With video you can streamline your sales process and move your target audience farther down your sales funnel.

We use a collaborative animation production to make sure you’re aware of what’s happening throughout the production process. We start with a discovery call get to know your business, your target audience, and project goals. We gather your feedback on each milestone so the final product is as much our creation as it is yours.

We write a compelling script and develop a concept that highlights your goals, storyline, entrance hooks, context, and call to action.

We fine tune the script by checking for key components and keywords that are essential in delivering the message. Finally your video script is approved with everything it needs to create a great explainer video.

We then move on to create storyboards, which is a sequence of sketches with written ideas to help you understand how the story will unfold.

Each frame represents a different step in the story and has sketches of what each scene will cover. This is a very important step, as it determines how the story will be represented visually.

Once the storyboard is approved, we design the final illustrations that will be used in the video. We provide a style frame for your approval. A style frame is the full colour design that we use to determine the final look of the video.

Most of our videos use voiceover, except in some cases where a narrator is not required. We send you some our recommended voiceover talent to choose from. If you have your own preferred voice, we’ll be happy to incorporate them.

Finally the graphics are animated and all visuals are brought to life. This is done in an animation software, baed on the final delivery method.

Once the animation production is complete, our sound designer finds the right soundtrack for the video. We then add sound effects (SFX) to add more life to the action. Sound effects make the action more interesting by engaging not just our visual but auditory senses.

Once your video explainer is complete, you get a link to download the files. You can then upload the video on YouTube, embed on your website, or share on social media platforms.

Character animation videos are the most common style used for storytelling. The character represents a typical customers. their pain points, and how the idea or product solves their problem. We’ve found this style to be very effective where we need to show people.

Motion graphics explainer videos offer a more serious approach to animation explainers. Motion graphics videos can be best described as graphics in motion. They utilize graphical elements to convey complex concepts. If you want to convey your annual results or some stats related to your solution, a motion graphics video is a great option.

Whiteboard explainer videos are in simple terms, animated drawings that are revealed of time. This simulates the illusion of a hand drawing the sketches on a white board. Original whiteboard videos used a camera and where drawn in real time. Due to the complexity of using cameras and lights this process was tedious, and so now most of these videos are done digitally.

Live-action explainer videos are videos that are produced the convention way of use lights, cameras, and actors. A preserve of higher budget video productions, this style can be quite restrictive unless your have a healthy budget for the project. A combination of live action and animation really does enhance the production value of your video.

3D animation videos are are the types of video that make use drool over, due to their ability to seize and amaze. This style may not work for everyone but the capabilities of working in 3D are endless.
