3D Video Animation Services
3D animation brings depth to life
in your organization’s video.
If you’re thinking about investing in an animated explainer video, odds are you aren’t imagining a 3D explainer video. You might understand the concept of 2D vs. 3D but things change when you get into the world of animation – if you’re not asking your audience to put on 3D glasses, isn’t everything on your computer screen 2D? First of all, no, but this is where a lot of the confusion stems from.
3D Animation Services
Make their jaws drop.
A 3D animation is characterized by it being designed in a digital environment before the rest of the video. This way, once you’re in production, the object that is designed can be moved however you need. On the flipside, a 2D animation is drawn. Be that digital drawing or physical drawing, every frame and every movement of a character in a 2D explainer video is drawn out frame by frame.
Let’s say, for example, that you are trying to produce a video about a tennis ball that forgot how to bounce. For the 2D animation, imagine drawing each frame of this story in a Post-It Note flipbook. Any time the tennis ball would spin in your story, you’d have to come up with what that part of the ball would look like, then draw it. For the 3D animation explainer video version, imagine physically creating the tennis ball before you actually started production. Then, you could take the already designed ball and show every side of it without creating anything new. So, you’d just have to map the movements of the ball instead of designing it all over again.
We make great videos, just for you.
In a world of remixes, custom created videos are a breath of fresh air. You know that video is the future of marketing. What you might not know is that Explainly helps make the video production process easier than ever before. If you have an idea for a video, we can do it.
3D Product Animation Services
It’s like you can actually feel the product.
With 2D animation, we only draw what you see and it ends up being more cost effective. While most people think of 3D videos as being those product demos where a computer or a bike is spinning on the screen, you can have 3D elements within 2D videos to bring your explainer video to the next level. They are typically used as transitions but there are creative ways to enhance your video with 3D. Take this example, where a 3D rendering of a sock is used to show the different features of a physical product.
When should you
use 3D animation?
There are two main times we like to use 3D animation: when you have a physical product that needs to be shown in detail or when you want to bring a 2D animation to the next level. 3D animation is great for showing what a physical product will look like if you’re looking for funding on something like Kickstarter. 3D can also be utilized to help teach how to use healthcare products or explain complex research topics. Not only that but it can also be great for giving your SaaS company’s video that extra ‘wow-factor’ to impress investors or customers.

“The Explainly Team is tremendously professional, kind, collaborative, and responsive. We had a need for an explainer video to reach out to high school students about data science. From concept to storyboarding to animation drafts, we were impressed with the creative direction that Explainly took. We had a script written out already with voiceover, and they brought it to life through attractive style and modern character design. Throughout the whole process, the team was communicative and understanding of our tight deadlines. They worked hard and I know they did all they could to deliver an excellent product. We were always heard throughout the process. I am grateful that me and my team know that we can reach out to Explainly any time for these kinds of projects in the future.”

Our team is thrilled to share this new asset with potential new donors!”
“Our Explainly team was phenomenal! They were able to get our project done well ahead of a typical timeline for similarly sized projects. The team was incredibly responsive to all communications with us and patient with all the rounds of revisions we gave.

We’re already planning our next projects with them–cannot recommend them enough!”
