What an explainer video costs<\/h2>\n

Style drives the price more than length. A drawn character that moves convincingly is the most expensive second in the film. All prices excluding VAT.<\/p>\n

Additional language versions cost 400 to 800 euros each, because only the voice-over and on-screen text change, not the animation. Planning several languages from the start saves noticeably.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Why explaining alone is not enough<\/h2>\n

Anyone watching an explainer video today has already seen a thousand films. The eye is calibrated to cinema quality. A video that only explains gets clicked away before the actual message arrives.<\/p>\n

So we build every explainer as a small story: a problem the audience recognises, a solution, proof, a next step. Only that arc keeps someone watching to the last second.<\/p>\n

We write the script. You supply the expertise, we translate it into language someone understands who is seeing your product for the first time. That takes about an hour of your time, no more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How an explainer video is made<\/h2>\n

Six to eight weeks for a 90-second film. Express delivery in three to four weeks for a surcharge.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

01<\/p>\n

Briefing and script<\/p>\n

One conversation about product, audience and goal. Then we write the script, around 120 words for 60 seconds, written to be spoken rather than read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

02<\/p>\n

Storyboard<\/p>\n

Every scene as a still image before any animation starts. Misunderstandings surface here, while changes are still free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

03<\/p>\n

Production<\/p>\n

Illustration and animation, or a shooting day. In parallel we record the voice-over, optionally with a fixed voice for all your future films.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

04<\/p>\n

Finishing<\/p>\n

Sound design, music, colour. Two rounds of revisions are included, then delivery in every format and length.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Do you write the script or do we?<\/p>\n

We do. You are the subject expert, we are the storytellers. After a briefing of about an hour you get a first draft, and after one or two rounds the text is final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How long should an explainer video be?<\/p>\n

60 to 120 seconds. Anything longer loses viewers without explaining more. If there is more to say, we build several short modules rather than one long film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can we update the video later?<\/p>\n

Yes. We archive the project files for two years. In animation, text, figures and individual scenes can be swapped from 300 euros. A new voice-over starts at 200 euros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What does another language version cost?<\/p>\n

400 to 800 euros per language. Only the voice-over and on-screen text change, the animation stays. Tell us early if several languages are planned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can you work from our CAD data?<\/p>\n

Yes. For 3D visualisations we work directly from construction data. That saves modelling time and keeps the result technically correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Which formats do we receive?<\/p>\n

16:9 for website and YouTube, 9:16 for stories and TikTok, 1:1 for feeds, each with and without subtitles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Planning an explainer video?<\/h2>\n

Describe in three sentences what needs explaining and to whom. We usually reply the same day with a fixed price.<\/p>\n
