Explainer and Animation

Explainer video production

Your product is clear to you. Most explainers never make it clear to anyone else.

The problem

Explainer videos usually explain the product instead of the problem it solves

Walk through the features. Describe the workflow. Show the interface. End with a logo. Most explainer videos are produced from the product team's perspective, which means they answer questions the viewer has not yet asked and skip the one question that actually matters: why should I care about this?

The viewer is not confused about what your product does. They are unconvinced that it matters to them. An explainer built around features rarely changes that.

The insight

The brief starts with the viewer's problem, not the product's capabilities

yourfilm's explainer process begins by mapping what the viewer currently believes and what they need to believe by the end. The script is built from that gap. The format, whether animation, live action, or a combination, follows from what the communication goal requires.

The result is content that moves the viewer rather than informing them. That is a different brief, and it produces a different video.

How it works

One brief We own it from there

01

You brief us

Your brief is owned by a dedicated production team from day one. They learn your brand, your goals, and your timeline. No handoffs between departments. A structured session asks the questions most clients haven't thought about yet.

02

We produce

Vetted crew anywhere. Your production team manages every shoot, every review, every decision. Post-production runs centrally: editing, graphics, music, voiceover, captions, and format exports. Standard turnaround: 2 to 3 weeks from filming.

03

You scale

Production that compounds. The brief process gets faster with every project because context is retained. Subscription clients get yourassets: a centralised library that makes footage searchable, tagged, and ready to repurpose.

Common questions

Explainer and Animation, answered

Format follows the communication goal. Animation is the right choice when you need to simplify something abstract, show a process that cannot be filmed, or produce content that will need to stay current without a reshoot. Live action works when the credibility of a real person or real environment matters more than visual clarity. Most explainers use elements of both, and the decision is made at brief stage based on what the viewer needs to understand, not on cost or production preference.
The script is produced before any visual work begins. Your production team runs a brief session to establish what the viewer currently believes, what they need to believe by the end, and what the single most important thing to communicate is. The script goes through a structured review and approval process. Visual development does not start until the script is locked. Changes to a script cost nothing. Changes to a script after animation has begun are expensive.
As short as it can be while covering what needs to be covered. Most effective explainers run between 60 and 90 seconds. Anything beyond two minutes needs a specific reason to exist. Length is a script discipline problem, not a production problem. The brief process is where length gets determined, not during the edit.
Yes, and it should be planned that way from the start. A 90-second explainer for the website produces a 30-second social cut, a 15-second pre-roll version, and a captioned cut for LinkedIn. These are not separate productions. They are planned outputs from a single brief and a single shoot. Format and channel planning happens at brief stage.
Yes. Voiceover casting, direction, recording, and licensed music are included as standard. Your production team manages the full process. You do not need to source these separately or brief a third party.
