How To Find The Right Animated Explainer Video Company For Your Project?

1). Look At Their Portfolio

The first thing you want to do when evaluating an animated explainer video company is to review their portfolio. Take a look to see if they produce videos with a similar level of quality and attention to detail that you want for your video. Also, pay attention to their storytelling capabilities; some animated explainer video companies are great at making pretty pictures but lack engaging storytelling skills.

2). Check Out Their Testimonials

Next, take a look to see if they have any reviews or testimonials. If you can’t find any, don’t hesitate to request references.

3). Get A Quote

Connect with the animated video production company to get a quote for your project. Share the following details so that we can generate an accurate quote for your project:

1). How long your video will be?

2). When do you want your video by?

3). Will you provide the script/storyboard or do you want us to create them for you?

4). What visual style do you want to use? 2D? 3D? Do you have examples of the visual style you want to emulate?

5). Any special requests?

4). Check On The Production Timeline

Make sure that you have enough time to create the video you want. Rush delivery animation is possible. However, you will have better production outcomes and a lower production cost if you can avoid rushing the production of your animated explainer video.

5). Are Revisions Included?

Check to see how many revisions are included in the production quote. Many animated explainer video companies include 1-2 rounds of revisions in the production budget and will charge extra if you request more edits. Video Igniter offers unlimited revisions for most projects so you don’t have to worry about your video going over budget.

How to Make A Video With An Animated Explainer Video Company?

Working with Video Igniter or an animated explainer video company is simple. Just follow these steps for a smooth explainer video production experience.

1. Get A Quote + Pay 50%

Contact us to get a quote for your project. After we learn about your project goals, we will send you a quote for your project. Production begins after you pay 50% of the production budget.

2. Project Kickoff

We will schedule a call and or send you a questionnaire to help us learn:

✅ What do you want to communicate in your explainer video?

✅ Who is the target audience for your explainer video?

✅ What visual style do you want to use?

✅ What do you want people to do when they’re done watching your explainer video?

3. Script

Our team will use the information from the kickoff call/questionnaire to develop a script for your explainer video that conveys your talking points to your target audience in a way that they would find engaging. You get an opportunity to review the script and request revisions before approving the script for production.

4. Storyboard

We will turn your script into a storyboard. The storyboard acts as a blueprint for the illustrators and animators so that they understand what to design and animate for each line in your script. You get an opportunity to review the storyboard and request edits before approving the storyboard for production.

5. VoiceOver

You will receive voiceover auditions for each voice in your explainer video. Select your favorites and then we’ll oversee the recording of the full voiceover. You get an opportunity to review the voiceover(s) and request edits before approving the audio for production.

6. Soundtrack

You will receive several soundtrack options that can be used to enhance the presentation of key moments in your explainer video. Select your favorite option(s) and we’ll buy the broadcast rights so that we can use the audio in your explainer video.

7. Illustrations

You will receive multiple pieces of concept art for your explainer video. Let us know which visual style you prefer and whether or not you want to refine some of the details in the concept art. Then, our team will create all of the illustrations for your explainer video and give you a chance to review them and request edits before approving the art for production.

8. Animation

Now that everything is approved, our team can animate your video. Review the first draft with your team and members of your target audience. Send us everyone’s feedback so that we can incorporate it and render out the final draft of your explainer video.

What Does It Cost To Hire An Animated Explainer Video Company?

Explainer video companies have a wide range of prices. We’ve seen animated explainer video companies offering to create videos for as little as a few hundred dollars for a 30 second animated video. There are others that charge over $100,000. Most 2D animated explainer videos can be produced for $1,500-$7,500 for a 1 minute video. 3D explainer videos may cost 2-4x more to produce.

How Long Does It Take An Animated Explainer Video Company To Make A Video?

This depends on the length of your explainer video and the visual style that’s used for video. The longer your explainer video and the more complicated the animation style is, the longer it’s going to take the animated video company to produce your video.

In general, it takes about 3-6 weeks to produce 60 seconds of 2D animation. 3D animated explainer videos take 2-4x more time to produce.
