We make explainer videos for B2B products and services: animated, live action or both. Each one is written for one audience and one next step.

An explainer in action
One film to watch, and the person you talk to first.
1. Brief
Tell us who the film is for and what they should do after watching. We agree how we'll measure it before we start.
2. Script
We turn what you sell into a short script in plain language, with a note on what's on screen for every line.
3. Look and storyboard
Style frames and a storyboard show exactly how the film will look before anything is filmed or animated.
4. Make and deliver
We film, animate or both, add voice-over, music and captions, then cut versions for your site, sales team and social.

Explainers, case studies and how-to videos.
Explainer video production
The process starts with a script. We condense the information to a suitable duration using easy-to-understand language, then suggest ways to bring it to life depending on budget: animation, live action or mixed media.
Case study video
Case studies are incredibly useful sales tools, dynamically explaining a project’s problem, solution and results in a snappy two-minute film. We distil years of work down to the most important components, collating product shots, screen grabs, photos and existing footage into one cohesive look.
How-to videos
Following along step by step is a really effective way to learn new skills. How-to videos can be produced economically. Audiences aren’t looking for high-end bells and whistles; they want clarity and simplicity, and our award-winning team would be delighted to help.
Why video is such an effective explainer
A short film gets the main point across faster than a page of text, and people can watch it wherever they find you.
Dynamic and colourful, video makes almost any page or booth more compelling and keeps people there for longer.
A crafted video compresses time, letting you hone the exact message and demonstrate it literally or metaphorically.
Show how it works and why they’d want it. Slow down the action, focus on detail, or use animation for clarity.
Footage and assets become part of your content library, cheaply reused whenever you need them.
“We were impressed by their capacity to show with images the concepts we were keen to transmit and communicate.”

Questions about explainer video production.
Most animated explainers cost US$15,000 to US$27,000. Mixing live action with animation starts at US$36,000. Simpler pieces can cost less as part of a set. Price yours in our cost calculator; a producer confirms a proper figure once they have seen your brief.
Most explainers take four to eight weeks from brief to delivery. Quick feedback on the script and storyboard is what speeds it up most.
Long enough to land one idea. For a product explainer that is usually one to two minutes; for ads and social, under a minute, cut from the same film.
Animation suits software, data and processes you can't film, and it is easy to update later. Live action suits physical products, places and real customers, because seeing people builds trust. Many explainers mix the two.
It speaks to one audience and covers five things: the problem, your solution, how it works, what it does for them, and what to do next.
Yes. We deliver translated voice-over, subtitles and on-screen text for each market, from the same edit.
