Explainers as compelling as your product or cause.

Your animated explainer video needs to do two things really well. Be understood and inspire action – read more, request a demo, download a report, spark a conversation. We help you create one that does both.

Animated explainer video FAQs

If you’ve got a million questions about animated explainer videos, you’re not alone. How long should your explainer be? What’s the production process? How many amends do you get? Fear not, we’ve covered the most common animated explainer video FAQs below.

We’ve built an animated explainer video rock-solid process that balances your input and creative ingenuity. We listen to what you need and explore the best approaches. At every stage, we walk you through our thinking and show you how it will all come together. To learn more about our process, get our guide.

The best briefs are clear on what success looks like, your audience personas and video placement (like web or social). We’ll want to know your core propositions, brand guidelines and the types of videos that you love the look/feel of. Having said all this, don’t sweat it. We cover all of these points and more on a Discovery call or get our guide.

Animated explainer video production typically takes around 6-10 weeks from the discovery call through to the final sign-off. Creativity can’t be rushed. We want to make sure that at each stage everyone has given feedback, we’re crystal clear on the direction we need to take and you’re completely comfortable before moving to the next stage.

60-90 seconds is optimal for an animated explainer video. That’s around a 200-word script. For social, 5-10 seconds is the sweet spot. However, you’ll also want to think about how you approach the project. You’ll get far more engagement by tailoring your media for each platform. For example, we adapt sections of animated explainers into short, looping Social Hooks. You’ll find more on this in our guide.

Many animated explainer video production companies limit the number of amends you get. To us, this seems at odds with collaboration. We want to get this right together, so we don’t limit the number of amends. That way, you get the video you need and want. On our Discovery call, we’ll create a solid foundation and then work with you to perfect each and every part of the video – from the script all the way through to sound design.

You want to make sure your animated explainer video delivers on your expectations and we want to make sure we have the scope to do that. Showing us examples you love helps us to advise on a good budget level. One of the biggest factors to consider is the length of your video. A 60-second animation is always going to cost less than 90 or 120 seconds (all things remaining equal of course). You’ll find examples at different pricing levels in our guide.

Nothing short of thrilling. We mean it. The process of combining your expertise and ours is a sight to behold. Which is why our clients keep coming back for more.

We believe consideration is key. We pore over every stage of your explainer so we can be sure it resonates with your audience. We care about the end result as much as you do and we don’t settle for anything less than exceptional.

Explainer videos are primarily a conversion tool, so they’ll always work best on your website. However, they are also perfectly suited for creating shorter, looping animations that you can use on social.

In short, you. It’s your video. We sign over all copyright so the assets we create are yours to use how you wish. In fact, many of our clients do in their other marketing materials.

Animated explainer videos come by a dizzying array of names – brand stories, animated informational videos, infographics, computer animation, motion graphics, explainer video production, not to mention 3d or 2d animation explainer videos.
