Why an explainer video works

You've got a product that takes a few minutes to explain. In a meeting it lands, on a website it doesn't. An explainer video fixes that. It shows what you do, why it matters and what happens next, in about a minute.

People remember far more of a message when they watch it than when they read it. That's why the right explainer earns its place on your home page, in your sales deck and across your social channels.

Sound familiar

Most people who come to us are stuck on the same three things.

Your product is hard to explain

It takes you five minutes and a whiteboard, and prospects glaze over before you get to the point.

Your videos look like everyone else's

Generic stock animation and a stock voiceover that could belong to any brand in your category.

You answer the same question every day

Sales and support keep re-explaining the basics, and there's no clean asset to send instead.

Types of explainer video we make

We lead on live action explainers, real people in real premises, which is where our broadcast crew is strongest. We'll steer you to the format that suits the message, not the one that's easiest to sell.

Live action explainer

Real staff, real customers, your actual space. Our specialty. It builds trust in a way animation can't, and it fits how we shoot.

Animated 2D

Clean motion for abstract ideas, software flows or a process you can't easily film. Good when there's nothing physical to point a camera at.

Animated 3D

For product mechanics, engineering or anything that needs to be shown from the inside out.

Motion graphics

Data, stats and key numbers brought to life. Often mixed into a live action piece to carry the detail.

Screencast and hybrid

Screen capture for a demo, blended with live action or graphics so the video does more than one job.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How much does an explainer video cost in Sydney?

It depends on the format and the scope. A single location live action piece sits at one end, a fully animated or multi-location shoot at the other. What shapes it most is filming days, animation build, scripting and how many cutdowns you need. Tell us the job and we'll send a fixed quote, so book a call.

How long should an explainer video be?

For most products, 60 to 90 seconds. That's long enough to make one clear point and short enough to hold attention. If it's for onboarding or training it can run longer. We'll match the length to where you'll use it.

How long does it take to produce an explainer video?

Most live action explainers run two to four weeks from brief to delivery. Animation can take a little longer depending on the build. We set the dates up front in your plan, and we deliver when we said we would.

Should I choose live action or animation?

Live action builds trust because it shows real people and your real premises, and it's where our crew is strongest. Animation suits abstract ideas, software or anything you can't film. We'll steer you to the right fit on a quick call, not push one on you.

Can you write the script, or do I provide it?

We can write it. Most clients give us the rough idea and we shape it into a tight script built around one message. You approve the script before we film a single frame. If you've already got a script, we'll refine it with you.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two rounds of review come built in, run through Frame.io so your feedback lands right on the frame. Most videos are locked within those two rounds. We'll always tell you up front what's included.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your one key message, any brand assets like logos and fonts, and access to your location or people for the shoot. That's about it. We turn the rest into a plan, a call sheet and a fixed quote.

Where can I use my explainer video once it's done?

Anywhere you like. The files are yours. Most clients run it on the website hero, landing pages, sales decks, onboarding and social, and we deliver the cutdowns to fit each one.

Where we film

Across Sydney and greater NSW.

Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
