- A 30-second cut from your own footage, no card, no commitment.
What to send us
What the product or idea does, who the audience is, the one message viewers should remember, brand guidelines, and any existing script or voiceover you want to keep or replace.
What you get back
A short explainer under two minutes built from an approved script and storyboard, with illustration, animation, voiceover, music and captions, in each format you need.
What to check before you sign off
Approve the script before anything is drawn. Changing the message after animation starts means redrawing scenes, which is where explainer budgets usually overrun.
