Start the production process by requesting a production quote from us and any other animator(s) you are considering for your project. Take some time to review the quotes along side each company’s animation portfolio before you make your decision.
After you decide which company’s explainer services you want to hire, you will receive a production agreement to sign and an invoice for 50% of your video’s budget.
2). Script Writing
Video Igniter will spend time learning about the key messages you want to present in your explainer video. We’ll also spend time learning about your target audience and their pain points. Then we’ll develop a narrative that conveys your main talking points to your target audience in a way that addresses their challenges. You will receive a downloadable copy of the script to share and review with your team. After you add your comments to the script document, we’ll address your revisions and send you an updated version of your script to review and approve.
3). Storyboard
Explainer video production services include turning your script into a storyboard. This way, our design and animation teams know what to create.
You will receive a downloadable copy of the storyboard to review with your team. If you want to make any edits, let us know and we’ll integrate them into your storyboard.
4). Illustrations
Video Igniter’s art director will create multiple pieces of concept art for you to review. Share your honest feedback and collaborate with the art director to revise the concept art until it’s perfect. Then our illustration team will develop all of the custom illustrations for your explainer video. You get a chance to review all of the art and request revisions before approving the art for production.

You will receive several voiceover auditions to review for your explainer video. Give them a listen and let us know which one is your favorite.

Explainer Video Translation Services
Want to reach a larger audience with your animation? Video Igniter offers explainer video translation services for all languages.
Our network of international script writers and voiceover artists enables us to translate your script into other languages. We can also use an additional translator to reverse the translation of your script to ensure the original meaning is preserved in your script.
Translating a video means updating the voiceover, the text that appears on screen and the captions that go along with your explainer video. Updating the voiceover for other languages may require an budget increase to adjust the timing of the animation so that it is in sync with the new voiceover.
Translation costs vary from project to project and you can get a discount if you provide the translated script and or the translated voiceover recording for your explainer video. Send us a message to get a quote for explainer video translation services.
