A presenter on screen, enhanced with animation

An explainer video combines the best of both worlds: the personal touch of a presenter on screen and the visual power of animation. The presenter explains the message while animations clarify, enrich, and bring the story to life. The result is a video that both persuades and explains.

‍ ‍At Explainit, we create explainer videos in which a presenter is filmed in front of a green screen or at a real location. We then build an animated world around that, tailored to your brand identity and message. The result is a video that is personal, visually striking, and clear in its content.

‍ ‍Please note: the term "explainer video" is also used to refer to an explanatory animation without a presenter. Are you looking for an animated video without a presenter on screen? If so, you’re probably looking for an explanatory animation. This page specifically focuses on explainer videos that feature a presenter combined with animation.

An explainer video like the ones we make consists of two elements that come together in a single video:

Presenter on screen

A real person who delivers your message. Filmed in front of a green screen or on location. Gives the video a human, familiar face.

+

Animation as a Reinforcement

Illustrations, charts, text, and animated elements around or behind the presenter. They clarify the content and keep the viewer engaged.

One powerful video

The combination of film and animation results in a video that resonates on a personal level and clearly explains complex topics. Unique and versatile.

When is an explainer video the best choice?

  • You want to give your story a personal touch while also clearly visualizing complex information. An explainer video combines both.

  • Your product or service is difficult to film, but you still want to feature a real person on screen. The presenter tells the story while animation illustrates what can't be filmed.

  • You want more impact than just animation, but also more explanatory power than a standard corporate video. The explainer video strikes the perfect balance.

  • You want to immediately connect with the viewer through a recognizable, familiar face that speaks on behalf of your organization.

  • You want to stand out on your website, in a pitch, or at a trade show.
