Mixed Media Animation
Combine media types and amaze
your target audience.
A mixed media video is the intersection of animation and live action videos or photographs. There really isn’t much more to explain than that. Mixed media videos could include anything from a 2D character animation to a 3D infographic but one of the main ways you see mixed media animation is in the form of animated overlays.
Live Action Overlay
Enhance live action video with seamless
animated overlays.
An animated overlay is when you see animation created to be used on top of live action video. This is great for bringing branding to live shot videos or to add extra explanations to things that you’d like an audience to be focusing on. Mixed media animations are also awesome for when you want to have a live person speaking but want to bring what they’re saying to life with some animated content, all at once. You’ll start to understand better once you watch a couple of the examples below.

“An absolute team of rockstars with an awesome process. We came to them with a rush project and they took a rough sketch and script we prepared, worked with us on the narrative, quickly turned around sketches, sample frames and designs, and we were off to the races. Very communicative, hit all of our stretch goals, and made sure we were happy with the end result.”

“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.”

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!”
