Animated Explainer Video Production.

The production process for animated explainer videos can be fairly simple. Firstly, you’ll need to decide on the main messages that you want your viewers to take away (any more than four will be a stretch for your audience to remember). Then you’ll need to write a basic script outline, for the voice-over (we can help you with this part). We’ll then work with you to craft a brilliantly worded and compelling script, based on some key information that you give us. Once the script is finalised, the next step will be to develop a look and style for your animated explainer video. This will usually reference your brand guidelines (fonts, colours, logos, etc) or website design elements. With the script and style now agreed, it’s time to start storyboarding so we can visualise the key scenes prior to animating.

If you’re going for a voice-over, we’ll use the timings from this to give us our ‘backbone’ of the animation. The voice-over helps set the tonality, tempo and timing of the final animation. Each scene is then meticulously animated - music is also used at this stage to help add drama and emotion to the story, to help create a feeling for the film.

Once this is complete the final stage is to add some sound effects, and any captions, to help punctuate the messages at key moments within the animation. And that’s it - Finished Animation ready to upload! Depending on your budget and the time-frame, you may not choose to add all of these elements, each brief is unique and we’ll work with you to create the perfect fit for your business.
