Explainer Video Production Process

Strategy

We start by getting clear on your goals, your audience, and what you want the video to accomplish. Then we develop the concept and creative direction that becomes the foundation for the script and the rest of the production.

Script

Our writers get to work, developing a script that matches your intent and speaks to your audience. The right words, emotional triggers, and story structure all play a key role in the success of your message. If the story sucks, animation won’t save it.

Storyboard

Next, we sketch out the video scene by scene. The storyboard lets you see how the story will come together, where key moments land, and how the visuals support the script. Once refined and approved, we move to production.

Design

We design every character, graphic, and prop from scratch, then prepare the artwork for animation. An animatic is prepared to show our ideas on the the planned timing and pacing of the different scenes.

Animation

With the visuals approved, we move into animation and sound design. Voiceover, music, and sound effects are added to complete the piece, followed by final revisions to make sure everything looks and sounds right.

Launch

With the final video approved, we prepare everything for delivery. You get the final video file plus 10–15 cutdowns and supporting assets designed to help you get more mileage from the video across different channels.

Product Explainer Videos

Product Video Production

If you have a physical or digital product, an explainer video is an effective way to market it on multiple channels. For physical products we recommend producing a product demo video to showcase the features and benefits of your product.

If the product is too complex for a video shoot or needs to show internal working of the device, a 3D animation video is the best style to use.

Digital products find success when they use storytelling to identify customer pain points, and show how the product solves them. A well-produced product explainer video will move prospects from awareness to interest, and to making a buying decision.
