Social media video production
Standing out in the first three seconds
Video that gets watched, not scrolled past
On LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube you have a few seconds to make someone stop scrolling. A good social media video seizes those seconds: a strong opening, a clear message and visuals that also work without sound.
Explainit makes short animations and videos designed specifically for social channels. Vertical, square or landscape, with subtitles and in the length that suits the platform. That way you get more out of your campaign, vacancy or product launch.
Already have a longer animation or corporate film? Then we make smart short versions of it. One production, dozens of posts. Want to know what that costs? Check the animation cost calculator or the corporate video cost calculator.
Which social media video suits you?
Every goal calls for a different format. These are the videos we make most often for social channels:
Campaign video
A short, powerful video that delivers one message. For a promotion, event or launch.
15 to 30 seconds
Short explainer animation
A service, product or scheme explained in a few sentences, with animation that makes it memorable.
30 to 60 seconds
Recruitment video
Show what it is like to work for you. Real colleagues, a real workplace, with a clear call to action.
30 to 60 seconds
Customer story
A satisfied customer explains in their own words why it works. Cut short for the feed.
30 to 90 seconds
Cutdowns
Short versions of an existing animation or corporate film, in every format and with subtitles.
From €750 excl. VAT
Animation video
Moving illustrations, no camera. Ideal for abstract subjects or subjects that cannot be filmed.
Corporate film
Real people and places. Filmed with a camera. Strong for authenticity and trust.
Infographic
Data and facts made visual. Quick to scan, no movement but immediate impact.
When does a social media video work best?
You want reach without wasting ad budget. Video gets more attention on LinkedIn and Instagram than text or photos. A good video gets more out of the same budget.
You have a complex message. Animation makes clear in 30 seconds what a long post fails to do.
You are looking for new colleagues. A recruitment video shows the atmosphere that a job ad can never convey.
You are launching something new. A short teaser and an explainer video together create attention and understanding.
You want to get more out of existing video. From one animation or film we make a series of short posts for months of content.
Why social media videos from Explainit?
For 15 years we have been making animations and videos that make complex messages clear. That is exactly what makes the difference on social channels: being clear within a few seconds.
You work directly with the maker, without middlemen. That keeps the lines short and the schedule tight, even when your campaign has to go live next week.
