Why invest in an explainer video?

An explainer video is a powerful way to make complex information easy to understand. People are naturally attracted to visuals and tend to prefer moving images over long blocks of text. In just a few minutes, an explainer video can convey what would otherwise take pages to explain. Visuals capture attention, reinforce your message, and help viewers remember your story.

Whether you want to explain a product, process, procedure, or service — an explainer video is the best way to deliver your message and share knowledge effectively.

The video production process

What is the core of your message?

No matter what type of video you choose, our production process always starts with a ‘Magic Meeting.’ During this strategic session, we’ll dive into everything about your company, your products or services, and, of course, your objectives. Together, we’ll define what you want to communicate and translate it into a clear and impactful message—that’s our expertise!

Already know exactly what type of video you want to create? Great! We’ll get started right away with the script or storyboard. Not sure yet? No problem—we’ll work with you to develop a video content strategy. Either way, you’ll leave with a concrete plan in hand.

Our professionals get to work for you

This stage of the production process depends entirely on the type of video we’re creating for you. If you’ve chosen an animation, we’ll start with the visual design. Only when you’re completely satisfied with the script and the chosen style will we move on to the animation phase.

If we’re producing a live-action or mixed media video, we’ll schedule one or more filming days. On these days, a professional film crew will arrive with cameras and other equipment to capture all the footage needed for your video.

For every production, you’ll receive a detailed project plan in advance. This ensures a streamlined production process and guarantees we meet every deadline.

We fine-tune everything to perfection

During post-production, we focus on perfecting your video. For animations, this involves sound design—adding music and sound effects to bring your animation to life.

For film productions, we carefully select the best footage and edit it into a professional corporate video, product video, recruitment film, or any other type of video you need. We apply color correction and work with a professional sound designer to ensure the perfect voice-over, background sounds, and music.

If you’ve chosen mixed media, we’ll integrate the animations into the live-action footage during the post-production phase.

Frequently asked questions about explainer videos

An explainer video is a short, informative video that clearly and visually explains a topic, process, product, or service. The goal is to convey complex information in a simple, understandable, and engaging way. Explainer videos are created using live-action footage but can also include animation — also known as an explanimations.

Video and animation are great tools for breaking down complex subjects in a casual and accessible manner. An explainer video is perfect when you want to provide more information on any given topic. Whether you’re demonstrating how a kitchen appliance works or explaining safety procedures within a company, an explainer video instantly makes everything clear.

That’s why many businesses use explainer videos to highlight their services, products, approach, or (recruitment) processes.

Once you’ve reached out to us, the process begins. Together, we’ll explore your goals and wishes. We’ll ask you the right questions to fully understand your story, and from there, we’ll write a custom script for you.

Next, we move on to filming — usually completed in just one day. After the shoot, we select the best footage and start editing your video. We apply color correction, and our sound designer adds the perfect voice-over, sound effects, and music to bring everything to life.

At Cooler Media, producing an explainer video takes around 4 to 6 working weeks. Thanks to our years of experience, we’ve developed a streamlined production process and we never miss a deadline. Once you’ve submitted your request, we can usually start working on your idea within just a few days.

The ideal length of your explainer video completely depends on its purpose. For example, if you’re using the video as part of a YouTube campaign, we recommend keeping it short. On the other hand, for videos that explain a full process it is better to make them a bit longer.

In general, we advise keeping your explainer video under 75 seconds. Just as important: make sure to grab the viewer’s attention within the first 10 seconds — that’s what counts most.

When you have an explainer video made, we gather the right shots to ensure your message comes across effectively. However, even for a live-action explainer video, it’s important that we receive a few key documents from you in advance, such as:

  • Your organization’s style guide (if available)

  • Your company’s logos

  • The standard color codes you use

  • Any previous design work

You can send this information directly to your project manager.

Have you had an explainer video made before? Feel free to share the script and/or shot list with us — we’re more than happy to use them as inspiration.

That said, we always produce your explainer video from start to finish ourselves, including the script and shotlist. This allows us to maintain an efficient production process and ensure the highest quality.

Our expertise goes beyond creating animations and capturing high-quality footage. We support you in developing a distribution strategy, help shape your video messaging, and ensure flawless design that aligns perfectly with your brand identity.

Our services are divided into five core areas of expertise:

  • Video Strategy

  • Custom Animation

  • Explainer Video Production

  • Infographic Design

  • Interactive Design
