Introduction
Explainer videos are a great way to explain your product, service or company. They're also a great way to attract new customers and increase engagement with existing ones. To create an effective explainer video , you need to choose the best idea, define the problem and think about the target audience. Here's how we did it:
The Idea
Explainer videos are a great way to explain a concept, process or product or service. They can also be used for educational purposes.
Explainer videos have been around for ages but have only recently become popular due to the increase in popularity of internet content. Explainer videos are also known as explainer movies, explainer websites and e-learning videos.
Define the problem.
Before you begin, it's important to define the problem. This can be a tough one because there are so many different ways of defining and explaining a problem that it's hard to know where to start.
If you're new at writing explainer videos, then think about what your audience wants from them when they watch them. For example: "My company is trying out new technology in our offices." Or even better: "The average person spends over $50 per month on office supplies."
Think about the audience.
There are many types of people who can benefit from an explainer video . Explainer videos are meant for a specific audience, so it is important to think about what their needs and interests are before creating your video. If you're creating an explainer video for your company's website, you may want to consider the following:
What do our users want?
What do we need them to know?
How can we help them better understand what they're doing here?
Write a great script.
Writing a great script is the first step to creating an outstanding explainer video , and it's vital that you take your time with this step.
If you're new to writing for video, or even if you've been doing it for years, there are lots of things to consider when writing an explainer video script:
Do I have enough facts?
Is my story compelling enough?
How do I tell my story in a way that's easy for viewers to understand?
How do I make sure my audience stays engaged throughout the entire video (and not just during the opening)?
Audio production.
Audio production
The audio of your explainer video plays a huge role in how it’s perceived by the audience. If you want to maximize its effectiveness, make sure that your sound is crisp and clear. You can do this by using high-quality microphones and editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro CC (which has built-in Audition). Once you have recorded all of the necessary sounds for your video, go back through it and make any necessary edits so everything sounds perfectly synced together.
Animation
Animation is a great way to show the process of something, and it can be used for more than just explaining what your product or service does. You can also use animation to explain how you are different from other brands in your industry, or how your brand operates.
Animation is an excellent tool for explaining the science behind products and services, as well as showing how they work on an individual level. It's especially effective when used in combination with text that explains what's happening visually (such as diagrams).
Storyboard and character design.
You can't just throw together a bunch of random images and hope they'll work. A good explainer video is a visual story, so it needs to have a strong foundation in character design. The more distinct and memorable your characters are, the better your explainer video will be remembered by viewers.
A good way to start creating this art is by creating a storyboard - which is simply an outline of all key scenes from start to finish in your video. You can use them as templates for how you want your animations or voice-overs performed; however, I recommend that you do not rely solely on these boards when creating your actual animation files (as we will discuss later).
Illustrate your concept.
An explainer video is not just a video with text and images. It's a visual representation of your concept, which will help you better understand how it works and what it can do for the customer.
However, if you want to create an outstanding explainer video, don't rush into production without first making sure that all aspects of your idea are properly explored and defined.
Video types and design directions.
Explainer video is a type of video that explains something in a simple and clear way. It can be used for many different purposes including:
To explain products, services or brands
To educate people about new technologies and techniques

Choose your idea: The first step in creating an outstanding explainer video is choosing an interesting topic or problem. You can do this by doing research on Google or YouTube, finding inspiration from content creators on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter and reading articles online. If you are planning on making a short-form video then try writing down all of your ideas before starting the process so that you have them ready when needed!
Define what type of person would benefit from this product/service being explained? Once again, it's important not only because everyone has different needs but also because there might be certain groups who might not use it at all if they don't understand how they work (elderly people). It's also worth considering whether anyone within those groups might be interested in trying out something new before implementing their ideas into practice themselves - especially if those individuals haven't used these types before either!
Conclusion
The final step is to remember that you are making a video for your target audience, so be inclusive and make sure that they feel included in the process.
