Frequently Asked Questions

what is an ‘explainer’?

An explainer is a highly engaging video that uses narration, visuals, and b-roll elements to clearly communicate your message. Unlike short-form content designed just to attract views, explainer videos aim to inform and entertain—giving your audience a deeper understanding of your point of view. They’re especially effective when you need to break down complex topics or make a compelling case.

How Long does an explainer take to make?

Explainers typically take longer to produce than standard videos because they involve graphics, animation, and multiple rounds of editing to get your message just right. While it’s possible to turn one around in two weeks, the average timeline for a 2 to 4-minute explainer is closer to four weeks. That includes time for pre-production, scripting, planning, graphics approvals, animation, and post-production polishing.

What about copyright elements?

Copyrighted elements can drive up the cost of an explainer video, which is why we prioritize using licensed subscription services, powerful AI tools, and original animated elements crafted with over a decade of After Effects expertise. This approach helps keep your costs down while still delivering top-tier quality. If a specific third-party element is necessary, we’ll always consult with you, explain the cost, and let you decide how to move forward.

Can you help get my message to more platforms?

Yes—we can help get your message onto more platforms. We create both short-form and long-form versions of your video and, when appropriate, collaborate with aligned clients in our network to amplify your reach. If another project crosses into your sphere, we’ll keep you in the loop so you can benefit from shared exposure and future opportunities.

Why not just use AI for my videos?

AI tools are incredible and evolving fast—but they still have real limitations, especially when it comes to content restrictions and creative precision. Think of AI like a self-driving car: it can handle the basics, but when you hit a detour, you need a real driver to navigate. If you want a video that truly reflects your vision, you need a human behind the wheel.

Can I get a quote?

Yes! All you need to do is submit an inquiry here and we will coordinate a discovery call with you to go over every aspect of your event videography needs. After that, we will provide an estimate based on that conversation.
