🚀 Discovery
We’ll start with a creative questionnaire and a kick-off conversation.
At the end of the day, our goal is to get you and your organization a successful video. That means that we first have to understand what you define as a success. We’ll also be sure to walk you through our custom video management dashboard and answer any questions you might have.
We’re also great listeners if you just had a bad day and need to vent about how you got cut off on the way to work and then the guy drove slower than you anyways.Â
đź“ť Pre-Production
Since it can be hard to make informed decisions about revisions/approvals at the beginning of a project, we wrap together a complete pre-production project proposal to help you understand the overall vision for your project and remedy potential roadblocks that could come to haunt our production timeline.
We offer 2 rounds of revisions per deliverable because, while we’re the video experts, you’re the expert in your business and so we encourage you to tell us what you like, don’t like, or want us to add and we’ll bring those changes to life.
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.
🎨 Production
Visualize the graphics and tone of your video with an illustrated storyboard and professional voice over.
By combining the sketched storyboard and style frames, we illustrate a complete, frame-by-frame storyboard. And by combining the script with the approved voice talent we get a professional voice over recorded to match your brand’s tone. With this, you’ll have a fully visualized map of what your final video will look like.
This is the part of our process where you really start to get an idea of what the final product will look like, have something to show off to the rest of your office, and make Bill from sales jealous that he didn’t come up with the idea.
🎬 Animation
This is where the magic happens. Our creative team makes the storyboard move into a beautiful animation aligned with your voice over, a few music options and subtle sound effects to create the most effective video your organization could ever ask for.
We produce quality videos that the San Francisco Chronicle’s Little Man Film Critic would jump out of his seat, wildly applauding for.
🥳 Final Delivery
Woo! Your final video is here and that’s something worth celebrating. For your final delivery, you’ll receive an uncompressed version of your video as well as a smaller viewing version. You also get any and all illustrated art assets like characters or icons to use in other marketing materials, plus any shortened cuts that you’re interested in using around the web.
This is the part where you get to go to your boss and blow their socks off with the great work you get to take credit for.
“Explainly was fantastic to work with! The worked really fast and produced a video that was perfect to open up a virtual conference and get our audience excited. They were super professional and went out of their way to meet our tight deadlines. Can’t wait to work with them again!”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure to work with the Explainly team to create a series of product explainer videos for our SaaS solutions. They make the process super easy. They are extremely professional, organized and easy to work with. I highly recommend Explainly for all your video needs.”

“Explainly helped me with a project for the American Marketing Association and I admit they exceeded my expectations. They were very professional, responsible, and fast, but beyond that, they were very creative and strategic and helped me figure out exactly what I needed and how to achieve it. I highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience working with Explainly and are thrilled with the result. Their process was clear, transparent, prompt and the animations, voice-over and everything end-to-end were of great quality and value. I am excited to write them a review to help spread the word. If we have another video concept, there is no question we will work with their team!”
“Working with the Explainly team was such a pleasant experience! From the very first call to the final produced video, Explainly took exceptional care to ensure they not only understood our needs, but then delivered on them. The end result was a beautifully produced video in just a matter of weeks, and the quality of work is more than we ever expected. 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. Collaboration between their team and ours was a breeze and came with the ease of teams that have worked together for a considerable large amount of time. We’re already planning our next projects with them–cannot recommend them enough!”
“Explainly was a great company to work with for an explainer video. Thoughtful, engaged, attentive, responsive, organized, and so helpful, Explainly made sure we were comfortable with the production each step of the way.

Thrilled with the outcome and thank Explainly for making the process so easy.”
