Animated Explainer Video Company

Making 1 minute of a 3D animation explainer video takes between 2 to 4 weeks. Multiple factors can affect this time span, such as art style, number, the complexity of assets (characters, environments, objects), VFX, quality, budget, etc.

You can contact us right now to get an accurate time estimation for your 3D video explainer video today.

We provide 3D explainer video services in the USA, UK, Canada, the Middle East, etc. We understand the importance of seamless collaboration across borders and time zones. Most of our clients are from the USA and here is how we ensure efficient collaboration despite time zones and languages:

• A dedicated account manager will be assigned to your project, available during flexible hours, including weekends, to facilitate seamless communication and act as an interpreter if needed.
• All our key team members, including the project manager and those you’ll communicate with, are proficient in English for efficient collaboration.

• Our pre-production stage involves identifying your needs, writing a tailored script, creating storyboards and animatics to time the action, and developing concept art to guide the style.
• In production, we create models of characters and environments in detail, texture them, rig them for animation, and our team of animators brings them to life frame-by-frame through expert animation.
• Post-production adds your valuable feedback and the final touches like sound design and effects, music, lighting, visual effects, rendering, and color correction to take the 3D animation to a polished, cinematic level.

1. Choose Your Goal: What do you want your audiences to do after watching your explainer video? What is your project KPI (Key Performance Indicator)? Is it increasing your brand clicks, traffic, sales, installation, view, share, or …?
2. Know Your Target Audience: Who you are speaking to and what matters to them is what can help the animated marketing video appeal specifically to them.
3. Use the Right Message: A captivating message is more important than the message itself! Your creative message should include 3 main questions, “What’s the audience’s problem? How will your product or service fix it? Why should the audience choose you?”. Answering these 3 WH questions makes the right message in businesses.
4. Highlight your USPs (Unique Selling Points): Calling out what differentiates you from other brands in your business, like highlighting benefits and focusing on the best selling points, can persuade your viewers to do what you want them to do.
5. Hook Rule: You have only 5 first seconds to get your viewers’ attention! People’s attention spans are now shorter than ever. 15 and 30-second ads are viewed to the end in 84% of cases, so you have to use the Hook Rule to attract your viewer and then focus on your audiences’ pain points in the other 25 seconds. After all, offer what you have on your hands.
6. Apply Marketing Techniques: Using advertising and marketing techniques such as Bandwagon, Endorsements, and the Rule of Thirds helps your goal to reach the recipient with effectiveness.
7. Use Visual Appeal: Appealing visuals are important because they can make the main message better conveyed and the weak points of the story less visible. One of the best examples is the Marvel Series; although it doesn’t have a wow and creative story, it’s so popular because of its great visuals. An innovative visual brings uniqueness to your 3D explainer video.

Here are 3 key tips for better managing your budget and timeline:

1. Clear Brief and Communication: Define your project’s goals, art style, and any specific requirements at the first production levels to achieve the desired final look. Frequent communication can also ensure alignment and pretend cost and time overruns.
2. Art Style: The more complex the art style, the more budget and time it requires. Try to choose an art style that fits your budget and timeline. Stylized, cartoonish art styles are generally faster and cheaper to produce compared to realistic, photorealistic art styles.
3. Number of Assets: It’s better to reuse already-created assets to manage the budget and shorten the process. For example, design one book and use it in different colors, sizes, and orientations in a library.

Here are 3 key managing tips for rushed projects:

• Build in a buffer time (plan for 5 weeks if your target timeline is 6 weeks) for contingencies, iterations, and reviews. Buffer time acts as a protection against any errors or issues related to the project force majeure. This way, circumstances that might not go as planned are taken into account.
• Build in a buffer budget due to the need for additional resources, overtime hours working, revisions, and changes. While some changes might seem minor, they can accumulate, leading to significant increases in both costs and time.
• Consider reevaluating some aspects and changing your project scope and overview by reducing the complexity, number, and length of the 3D animated explainer video. For example, there is no need to design several unique characters for a crowd at a wide angle; you can have a few and use them in many variations.

Here are 7 strategies to help you benefit the most from an animated 3D video partnership:

• Provide a Clear Brief: Start by providing a detailed brief that outlines your project’s goals, target audience, style preferences, and any specific requirements or references. This clarity upfront sets the right expectations and success.
• Exact Planning/Milestone Request: Request a detailed production schedule that breaks down the key milestones and deliverables from the 3D explainer video agency. This transparency allows you to track progress and ensure timely completion.
• Stand on Your Values While Trusting the Studio: Establish parameters based on your unique values or objectives. While maintaining oversight, be open to the studio’s creative suggestions in both technical and artistic aspects. Our experience shows that 93% of our clients who trust us tend to achieve better results.
• Request Regular Updates: Ask for daily or weekly progress updates depending on the project’s complexity. This frequent communication ensures alignment and allows for timely course corrections.
• Have a Comprehensive Contract: Establish a detailed contract that covers timelines, deliverables, payment terms, delay penalties (if applicable), and any other crucial terms.
• Document Everything: Maintain all communication records, including chat logs and meeting notes. This documentation serves as a reference and helps mitigate potential disputes.
• Foster a Safe Environment: Encourage an open and collaborative atmosphere where the studio can freely express creative ideas without fear of blame for mistakes.

Here are 3 common challenges and risks in 3D explainer video workflow and strategies to address them:

• Challenge: Project Delays and Unexpected Disruptions
• Solution: Comprehensive upfront planning, minimizing excessive revisions/edits, maintaining open communication, and building some buffer time (10%-20%) into the timeline for unexpected issues and contingencies like artist illness, emergencies, etc.
• Challenge: Misunderstandings
• Solution: Extremely clear and detailed brief, over-communicate priorities, ask the studio to explain their understanding back to you (do not just seek confirmation of your explanation), and emphasize crucial requirements repeatedly.
• Challenge: Budget Overruns
• Solution: Pursue a fixed-price contract rather than hourly, conduct detailed scoping in brief, set clearly defined budget limits and contractual provisions, and build in contingency buffers for possible risks.
