Animated Explainer videos!

Animated explainer videos are short videos that help to illustrate complex ideas in simple, engaging, and meaningful ways in less than 2 minutes. An animated explainer video gives you an opportunity to make your potential customers understand what your product or services are and how they solve problems.

It’s also a perfect tool for storytelling. It is known that nearly 80% of the message is usually perceived visually. It means that businesses should pay particular attention to the visual presentation of their brand, products, and services.

We recently worked with the team at REVYRE who were looking for a simplified way to share their technical business. The team at REVYRE were blown away, saying “The team at Create x Wonder,(a leading Auckland video production company) are extremely professional and detailed in their approach. Their desire to understand your business inside and out and fully entrench themselves to garner a full understanding, is what makes them so special. Not to mention their ongoing communication throughout the project, providing updates and ideas for consideration. REVYRE would strongly recommend Create x Wonder and appreciate all the hard work put in to deliver our corporate video and explainer animation.”

The process for 2d motion graphics can be time consuming and so it’s important that all parties invest time in to the process, so we can reach the best possible outcome. Although time consuming, it has such strong potential to really help convey your message in an engaging and fun way.

Our job is to make this as easy as possible for you, we do this by assisting with:

  • Step 1: Deciding on the style and type of animation. (our full range of animated explainer video services)
  • Step 2: Creating a script alongside a professional scriptwriter or with your own inhouse subject experts
  • Step 3: Recording and editing the voice over. We have a diverse range of voices to suit any story line.
  • Step 4: Collecting graphics and other assets that we will include in your story.
  • Step 5: Creating and agreeing on the style frames. Once this is done, it’s smooth sailing from here.
  • Step 6: Add music that fits the tone and mood.
  • Step 7: Approvals and sharing of your amazing new animated explainer video.

Your video can be used across many channels, such as your company website, social media, newsletters and many more.

When animation beats live action

Animation is the better choice when the thing you are explaining is hard to film: software, a process inside a machine, or an idea that only exists on a whiteboard. If your story is about people, places or a physical product you can point a camera at, live action is usually faster and cheaper.

A recent example is our 2D animated explainer for Sea-Flux. Sea-Flux is a cloud-based platform for fleet and vessel management, covering safety checks, maintenance, crew logs and compliance. It is a powerful tool but hard to explain quickly, so animation let us show how the platform works without screens full of menus. For Revyre we did the same with a two-step tyre recycling process, and you can watch that one in our Revyre explainer project.

Planning matters more with animation than with filming. Most of the time goes into the script and style frames, and once those are agreed the animation itself turns around fairly quickly. You can see more on our explainer video services page, or browse other projects in our animation work.
