Why an explainer video works

You've got a product that takes a few minutes to explain. In a meeting it lands, on a website it doesn't. An explainer video fixes that. It shows what you do, why it matters and what happens next, in about a minute.

People remember far more of a message when they watch it than when they read it. That's why the right explainer earns its place on your home page, in your sales deck and across your social channels. Education providers lean on them heavily too.

Sound familiar

Most people who come to us are stuck on the same three things.

Your product is hard to explain

It takes you five minutes and a whiteboard, and prospects glaze over before you get to the point.

Your videos look like everyone else's

Generic stock footage and a stock voiceover that could belong to any brand in your category.

You answer the same question every day

Sales and support keep re-explaining the basics, and there's no clean asset to send instead.

Types of explainer video we make

We make live action explainers, real people in real premises, filmed by a broadcast crew. Motion graphics go on top to carry the names, the numbers and the on-screen detail. Software and technology teams are our most frequent explainer clients.

Live action explainer

Real staff, real customers, your actual space. Our specialty. It builds trust a generic video can't, and it fits how we shoot.

Screencast and hybrid

Screen capture for a demo, blended with live action so the video does more than one job.

Motion graphics layer

Names, data and key numbers brought to life over the picture, in your brand.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How much does an explainer video cost in Sydney?

A live action explainer runs $4,000 to $12,000 + GST. The bottom is a scripted half day, one person on camera at one location, with a 60 to 90 second finished video asset. The top is a full day across more than one location with a producer and a set of cutdowns. Our cost guide shows how it sits against the rest of our work.

How much of my time will this take?

Less than you'd think. A short brief call, a look at the script and the plan, then two rounds of notes on the edit. Jess books the crew, sorts the location and sends the call sheet. Your presenter only needs to be there on the day.

How long should an explainer video be?

For most products, 60 to 90 seconds. That's long enough to make one clear point and short enough to hold attention. If it's for onboarding or training it can run longer. We'll match the length to where you'll use it.

How long does it take to produce an explainer video?

Your first edit lands within 10 business days of the shoot. We set the dates up front in your plan, and we deliver when we said we would.

What does an explainer video look like?

Real people in your real space, talking to camera, with graphics over the top to carry the names, the numbers and the detail. Sixty to ninety seconds, built around one clear message. Filming where you actually work makes it look like you, not like every other brand in your category.

Can you write the script, or do I provide it?

We can write it. Most clients give us the rough idea and we shape it into a tight script built around one message. You approve the script before we film a single frame. If you've already got a script, we'll refine it with you.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two rounds of review come built in, run through Frame.io so your feedback lands right on the frame. Most videos are locked within those two rounds. We'll always tell you up front what's included.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your one key message, any brand assets like logos and fonts, and access to your location or people for the shoot. That's about it. We turn the rest into a plan, a call sheet and a fixed quote.

Where can I use my explainer video once it's done?

Anywhere you like. The files are yours. Most clients run it on the website hero, landing pages, sales decks, onboarding and social, and we deliver the cutdowns to fit each one.

Where we film

Across Sydney and greater NSW.

Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
