In this post we explain how to get your unique explainer video in 5 steps.

Kick-off and start of production

In order to start the production process as efficiently as possible, there is usually a conversation between you and your explainer video agency before production begins - the so-called kick-off meeting. We Videobakers meet with you for this purpose via telephone or Google Meets.

In the kick-off meeting, all basic details and key data are discussed. This way, the agency gets a more precise picture of what you have in mind and can gather exactly the information needed to start production.

Afterwards, production can already begin.

Step 1: The script

The first step in making your explainer video is the script. The script is the basis of the video. It is the text that will explain your product. At Videobakers, the script is first created in text form by our script writer. Then it is sent to you for a first review. If you are satisfied with the draft, we move on to step two and the script is later recorded by the voice-over artist. If you have any suggestions for changes, we will of course adjust the script for you.

The script - the basis of your explainer film

By the way:

A strong story determines the success of your entire explainer video, as it drives both the audio and visual components and binds your viewer's attention. An explainer video works well for scientific reasons, especially in the context of Dual Coding Theory by Allan Paivio. We explain why this is so here.

And another tip

Many struggle to write an effective script. That's why when choosing an explainer video agency, you should always look to see if the script is included in the quote. At Videobakers, we have of course hired the best script writers for you, who will put your story into words individually and accurately.

But back to the basics:

Step 2: The storyboard

Step two consists of creating a storyboard. The storyboard describes the general flow of the individual scenes of the video - i.e. in contrast to the script rather the visual structure of the video. Analogous to building a house, the storyboard can be understood like the floor plan of a house - subsequent changes lead to a lot of effort. Therefore, it is important that you only approve the storyboard when you are really satisfied with the sequence and structure of the scenes.

Step 3: The Theme

In the third step, you will choose your theme. The theme describes the basic style of the video. The theme is about the color scheme, shapes and style of the figures, characters, elements and backgrounds.

Videobakers will first draw the first three scenes of your storyboard in the chosen style and then present them to you. The goal is to give you an idea of what the video will look like based on these three scenes. This prevents you from realizing what your video will really look like until the end of the production.

You can find an overview of different explainer video styles here.

Step 4: The illustration

With the start of the illustration, about 80% of the video is completed. The illustration of the scenes show exactly how each scene of the video will look in the end and what part of the script text will be spoken in the corresponding scene. The illustration is done in the style that was previously defined by you in the theme.

Step 5: The animation

After the illustration has been accepted by you, the individual scenes are finally animated and linked together. The video is now also backed with the voice-over including suitable background music and tadaaaaaa - the whole thing is finished!

Close and uncomplicated cooperation with you is important to us and that is why we attach great importance to your feedback during the entire production process.

What's special about a production with Videobakers is that, with the help of our specially developed feedback tool, you can express feedback on each of the five milestones at any time and in an uncomplicated manner throughout the entire production process, and thus always have full control over whether what we produce for you also meets your expectations.

Sehr empfehlenswert, gute Qualität, faire und passende Preisgestaltung und vor allem sehr angenehmen Zusammenarbeit und Kommunikation. Kundenorientiert und flexibel, bedingt durch eine Umfirmierung mussten wir ein gerade fertig gestelltes Video nochmals anpassen, dies wurde sehr schnell und zu einem minimalen Aufpreis schnell und unkompliziert gelöst.
