Why explainer videos work

The most successful tech companies have one thing in common: they can explain what they do clearly. An explainer video is the fastest, most scalable way to do that. It lives on your homepage, gets shared on social, plays before sales calls, and works 24/7 without needing to be in the room.

Research consistently shows that visitors who watch a video on a landing page are significantly more likely to convert. For companies selling complex or technical products, that effect is even stronger — because the video does the heavy lifting of making the abstract tangible.

Our approach to explainer videos

Every explainer video we make starts with the audience, not the product. We need to understand who's watching, what they already know, and what gap in their understanding we need to close. From there, we build a narrative — not a feature list — that takes the viewer from "I don't get it" to "I need this."

We handle the full process: research and discovery, scriptwriting, storyboarding, illustration and animation, voiceover casting and direction, sound design, and delivery in every format you need. Our typical explainer runs 60–120 seconds, though we'll recommend the right length based on the complexity of your subject matter.

Animation styles we work with

We're not locked into a single animation style. Depending on your brand and budget, we work across 2D motion graphics, character animation, kinetic typography, screencast-style UI walkthroughs, and hybrid approaches that mix techniques. During the style phase, we'll present visual directions so you know exactly what the finished product will look and feel like before a single frame is animated.

SecurAkiro needed non-technical decision makers to understand enterprise cybersecurity in under 90 seconds. This animated explainer does exactly that.

We built the narrative around the viewer's problem, not the product's features — which is why it works.

Case Study
£120,000+raised through crowdfunding

Avon Needs Trees

Environmental charity Avon Needs Trees came to us needing a crowdfunding video that would inspire donations for native woodland restoration across the Avon region.

We produced a short film designed specifically for their crowdfunding page — something that would stop people scrolling, build an emotional connection, and make the ask feel urgent and personal. The video sat at the top of their campaign page and did the heavy lifting.

The campaign raised over £120,000, far exceeding their original target. It remains one of our proudest projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Elliott to help me and my team produce 6 corporate videos. Elliott was very knowledgeable and professional. He was a joy to be around on set and his easy going nature made us all feel at ease. We felt like we were in safe hands and as a result, produced 6 fantastic videos.

Explainer video FAQ

Our explainer videos typically range from £3,000 to £10,000 depending on length, animation complexity, and whether custom illustration is needed. A 60-second 2D motion graphics explainer sits at the lower end; a fully illustrated character-animated piece will be at the higher end.

60–90 seconds for a homepage or top-of-funnel explainer. Up to 2 minutes if you're covering a more complex subject or speaking to a more technical audience. We'll always push for brevity — every second needs to earn its place.

We write the script. Scriptwriting is one of the most important parts of the process — it's where the storytelling happens. We'll work with your team to understand the subject matter, then craft a narrative that's clear, concise, and structured for visual storytelling.

A typical explainer video takes 4–6 weeks. The first two weeks are focused on script and visual development. The remaining time covers animation, sound design, and revisions. Rush timelines are possible — just let us know your deadline.

Absolutely. We design every explainer video to align with your existing brand — colours, typography, illustration style, tone of voice. If you have brand guidelines, we'll follow them. If you don't, we'll create a visual direction that feels right for your company.

We focus on tech companies — SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, healthtech, and enterprise software. This focus means we already understand the challenges of communicating complex technology without your team spending hours bringing us up to speed.

Yes. We can deliver versions with translated voiceovers or subtitles. We build our animations in a way that makes localisation straightforward, so updating text or swapping voiceover tracks doesn't require rebuilding the entire video.
