What is the process of making an explainer video with Purely Imagined?

We start with a kickoff meeting, then move into the script and storyboard design. After approval, the next step is animation. We finish the video with music, sound effects and captions, then it's yours!

How long should my explainer video be?

We recommend staying around one minute in length. That's enough time to cover everything, and keep the viewer's attention.

How much does an explainer video cost?

A one minute explainer video with 2D animation generally starts around $8,000. This price can go up or down depending on the project scope. Book a 15 minute call with a member of our team here and we can give you an accurate quote based on your needs.

Our Process

1. Project Kickoff

The project starts with a full team meeting, during which we take notes about the information we'll need to cover in the video. We'll also collect marketing assets, research papers, and branding materials relevant to the project.

2. Script Phase

Our team carefully reviews all the notes and other info we have. We form a script that speaks directly to your ideal customer. We'll send the script over to you for fine-tuning and approval.

3. Storyboard Phase

We start with a rough storyboard to come up with the visuals. Once approved, our team crafts the final designs for each scene. We use your branding materials as a guide. All the frames are assembled into a final storyboard for you to review.

4. Animation Phase

It's time for the magic! We bring the storyboard to life. Depending on the subject and budget, this may involve a mix of 2D and 3D animation. We also handle the narration and sound design. After the video is approved, we'll send you a link to download the final files.
