Full-service explainer videos that engage, educate and persuadeDarren Franks
Animated explainer videos can enable sales teams, educate users (reduce support costs) or explain complex ideas simply. I specialise in efficiently turning your communication challenge into a successful visual story, with over 20 years of experience.
What's included
60-second animated explainer video
A high resolution video file (usually MP4 but you can specify your own requirements).
Storyboards
Complete storyboards showing script, audio, visual content and actions. Typically provided with loosely sketched visuals before polished artwork is created.
FAQs
Attention spans are short! I aim to be concise and efficient with them. 1-2 minutes is a good starting point. In some situations you will have a more captive, engaged or invested audience which can justify a longer video. The temptation is always to try and say too much.
A good rule of thumb is 100-120 words per minute. This is less than you would think. 120wpm is a great pace for communication but remember to leave cognitive space for 'reading' the visuals and for pauses to digest the messages.
Absolutely. These will need to be discussed to cost them accurately. If I know in advance then I can design and produce the content with efficient reformatting in mind.
Yes. I have worked with voice artists all over the world, either directing them from the studio or dialling in remotely. As part of the production process I record a placeholder voiceover myself and several clients have asked to use these in the final productions.
That's often better. I can use my 25 years of experience take the outcomes you're seeking and craft them into a compelling script that delivers them.
