What Is An Explainer Video?
An explainer video is a video that explains a product or service clearly and concisely.
They are typically short, around 2-3 minutes long, and are perfect for introducing a new product or service to your audience.
Explainer videos can be used to promote a new product or service, but they can also be used to educate your audience on how a product or service works.
By using animation and motion graphics, explainer videos can help your audience understand even the most complex products or services.
People using the term "explainer video" might mean multiple things. As a premier explainer video maker company, we create different styles of marketing videos for different clients' needs.
This Portfolio Video is a Live Action Explainer Video.
What is a Live Action Explainer Video?
At Hilo Media, we understand the importance of a good, classic, scripted video.
Using actors or models, and traditional video production techniques, we can create an explainer video that connects with your audience.
We'll help you capture your company's personality, and explain your product or service in a way that's fun, entertaining, and easy to understand.

What Are Some Other Types of Explainer Videos?
In addition to Live Action Explainer Videos, we produce Animated 2D Explainer Videos, Whiteboard Animation Explainer Videos, Hand-Drawn Animation Explainer Videos, and Screencast Explainer Videos.
What is an Animated 2D Explainer?
This is a very common style of an animated explainer video.
We animate 2D vector graphics and pair them with voiceover, music, and sound effects to create a cartoon-like presentation.
2D explainer videos help you communicate your message clearly and effectively.
Our video production and animation team will work with you to develop a video that is both visually appealing and on-brand.
What is a Whiteboard Animation Video?
A whiteboard animation style video is similar to a 2D animated explainer video but includes a text style that looks like it’s written on a whiteboard or chalkboard.
This simple, yet effective visual style is perfect for explaining complex concepts or products in an easy-to-understand way.
What is a Hand-Drawn Animation Explainer Video?
Our hand-drawn animation style is unique and is designed by an artist to look like a traditional cartoon animation.
Our artists create each scene of animation, so you can be sure that your video will have that signature, cartoon look.
Plus, with over two decades of experience in video production and animation, we know how to make your message shine.
What Is a Screencast Explainer Video?
A Screencast Explainer Video is the perfect way to market your app.
Our team of video producers and animators will pair screencast captured footage of your application with 3D devices to create an engaging and informative explainer video.
This video can be used to market your app on social media, in blog posts, and on your website.

How Long Does An Explainer Video Production Take?
The main contribution to the time it takes to produce and finish an explainer video is the scope of the project. Shorter, simpler, screencast-style videos can be turned around in a couple of weeks. Larger animations and Live Action videos have more moving parts and more people involved so they might take 4-6 weeks to complete.
Another big factor is your involvement. Tight collaboration with the client means a quick setup process, quick turnaround, and an efficient revisions process.

What Does the Explainer Video Production / Animation Process Look Like?
HiLo Media is an experienced explainer video maker company. We’ll start with a good conversation about what you’re looking for while setting a budget, goals, and deadlines.
Next, our scriptwriter will write your story and come up with a simple script and storyboard for your approval. This is a good time to brainstorm and revise, as the script is the blueprint for the project moving forward.
Once a script is signed off on, an explainer video producer will begin the post-production process– whatever that might entail for your project: Screen captures, 2D and/or 3D animation, visual effects, HD or UHD editing, voiceover production, sourcing of stock music, etc.
Generally, we’ll do two rounds of revisions for free in any package and this is useful and ample for 99% of clients.
Finally, we’ll deliver your master digitally so you can let it out into the world and let it do some work for you!
