Explainer Video Production Process

Here’s our seamless explainer video production process in a well-polished five steps. This ensures we produce a well-crafted video that will get you the results you need.

Your feedback is incorporated at every production milestone, to avoid any surprises and so you know what to expect.

1. Strategy

We begin with a discovery meeting to understand your goals, your audience, and how best we can help you meet those goals.

2. Script

We clarify your message, audience, and call-to-action, then write an explainer video script customized for your audience and message.

3. Storyboard

In the storyboard stage we map the script into key scenes so you can see rough sketches of how we’ll tell the story.

4. Design

We create the final illustrations and designs—characters, graphics, icons, and scenes—matched to your brand.

5. Animation

Assets are brought together and animated. Voiceover, music, and sound effects are added to complete the video.

Explainer Video FAQs

Explainer videos clearly explain your business and why people should buy from you. We use storytelling to make your message more captivating and compelling.

We help businesses use explainer videos as a storytelling tool to introduce their brand or solution in a concise, memorable way.

Higher Conversion Rates: Placing an explainer video on a landing page can boost conversion rates by up to 80%, turning more visitors into leads or customers.

Better Information Retention: Viewers retain about 95% of a message when watched in a video, compared to only 10% when reading text. This means your audience is far more likely to remember your value proposition.

Simplify Complex Concepts: Animated explainer videos make it easier to explain technical or abstract ideas in an accessible way, helping viewers understand your solution and make informed decisions.

Increased Engagement and SEO: Video content is highly engaging and keeps people on your site longer. This not only educates and entertains your audience but can also improve your website’s SEO by increasing dwell time

For most marketing purposes, shorter is better – around 60 to 90 seconds is ideal for an explainer video.

This length is usually enough to convey your key message while keeping viewers’ attention.

It’s recommended to stay under 2 minutes in runtime. Only very complex topics or special use cases (such as detailed training modules or demos) would warrant videos longer than about 2–3 minutes, as longer videos risk losing viewer interest.

Producing a custom animated explainer video typically takes about 4–6 weeks for a 60–90 second video. This timeline covers the entire explainer video production process – from initial concept and scripting through to animation and final edits.

Simpler videos can sometimes be completed in around 3–4 weeks (especially if a script is ready and feedback is prompt). More complex animations or longer videos might require 6–8+ weeks of production and revision time.

If you have a tight deadline, many explainer video companies offer rush services, though faster turnarounds may incur higher costs to allocate extra resources.

The cost of an explainer video can vary widely depending on length, style, and complexity. To get more insight into video production costs, see our article on explainer video costs.

Animated explainer video production is a multi-stage process that ensures the final video is effective and high-quality. While the exact workflow can vary by provider, a typical production process involves:

Discovery & Scriptwriting: Understanding your business, target audience, and goals. The team develops a compelling script that delivers your message clearly.

Storyboard: Creating a scene-by-scene blueprint of the video using sketches or frames. This outlines the visuals and how they align with the script.

Design & Illustration: Designing the characters, graphics, and style of the video based on your brand guidelines. All artwork for each scene is prepared.

Voiceover Recording: Hiring a professional voice actor to narrate the script (if the video uses voiceover). You can usually choose a voice that fits your brand.

Animation: Bringing the illustrations to life with motion. Animators produce the video by sequencing movements, transitions, and effects to match the voiceover and script.

Sound Design: Adding background music and sound effects to enhance the video. This audio design adds emotion and polish, making the video more engaging.

Feedback & Delivery: You review the animated video and request any revisions. After final edits, the completed explainer video is delivered in your required format.

Throughout this process, a good explainer video service will collaborate closely with you, allowing for feedback and revisions at each stage. This ensures the final product aligns with your vision and effectively communicates your message.

Nearly any industry or organization can benefit from using explainer videos. These videos are popular in sectors like SaaS and technology, where complex products need simplification, as well as healthcare, nonprofits, finance, education, business training, manufacturing, and more.

You may be a startup explaining a cutting-edge tech solution or a nonprofit raising awareness for a cause, an explainer video can distill your message into an easily digestible, compelling story.

The key is that the video is tailored to your target audience – a quality explainer video company will have experience adapting their style to different industries and use cases.

Choosing an explainer video production company is an important decision. Here are a few tips to find the right partner:

Experience and Track Record: Look for a company with a proven history of producing explainer videos. An experienced team (with years in business and a robust portfolio) is more likely to deliver a polished video.

Our studio at Creamy has been around for 15+ years and has produced thousands of videos for businesses in Canada , the US, and around the world. Such depth of experience means we’ve encountered a wide range of industries and project goals.

Quality of Work: Review their portfolio and case studies. Do the animation style, storytelling quality, and overall production value meet your standards?

Top explainer video companies will showcase a variety of styles (2D animation, motion graphics, whiteboard, etc.) and professional, custom-designed visuals – not generic templates.

Client Testimonials: Check reviews or testimonials. Positive feedback from past clients is a good indicator of reliability and the ability to meet expectations (in terms of both process and results).

Production Services: Ensure the company offers end-to-end explainer video services, including strategy, scriptwriting, voiceover, animation, and editing. A full-service team can guide you through the entire production smoothly.

Communication and Collaboration: A trustworthy company will be transparent and communicative. They should involve you in key milestones (script approval, storyboard review, etc.) and be open to revisions. Look for a team that listens to your ideas and understands your brand message.

By considering these factors, you can find an explainer video company that not only delivers a high-quality video but also provides a professional, stress-free production experience. Building trust is crucial – you want to work with people who are genuinely invested in the success of your project.

Getting started with an explainer video is simple. First, reach out to our team with details about your project goals, audience, and budget. We’ll schedule a short discovery call to understand your needs and recommend the best approach.

From there you’ll get a proposal with scope, pricing, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect. Once approved, the explainer video production process kicks off — from scriptwriting through design and animation — with opportunities for feedback at each stage. This ensures you’re involved throughout and confident in the final video.
