Corporate Video or Animated Video
Which one works for you?

We often get this question: Should you choose a corporate video with real people, or go with animation? The answer depends on your message, target audience, and objective. A corporate video is highly effective for building trust and brand recognition, thanks to real faces and an authentic atmosphere. An animated video is ideal for clearly explaining something abstract, technical, or complex. An infographic is also a good option, often used to complement an animated video.

Within a single organization, the combination of corporate video and animation is often most effective: the corporate video showcases the team and the atmosphere, while the animation explains a product or process step by step. This allows you to appeal to both the emotions and the rational side of your target audience at every stage of the customer journey.

Ask us about the options.

Our Approach
From strategic concept to high-impact video

STEP 01

Introduction and Briefing

We'll discuss your goal, target audience, and message. Together, we'll determine whether an animation, corporate video, explainer video, or a combination of these is the best fit.

STEP 02

Concept and script

We write the script and develop the visual concept into a storyboard or mood board. You provide feedback before we move forward.

Depending on the type—animation or illustration—the shoot will take place on location or in our green-screen studio, or a combination of both.

STEP 04

Editing and Post-Production

Voice-over, sound design, music, color grading, and subtitles are added to ensure a professional final product.

Feedback Session

STEP 05

★★★★★

We’ve been working with Videonieuwsbericht for over 10 years now, and it’s been a pleasure collaborating with Bas and his team. High quality is, of course, the foundation, but what Bas brings to the table is his own creativity in bringing the project to life. If you give him a general idea of the kind of animation or style you want, he often exceeds our expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about animation and video production

We create animated videos, explainer videos, e-learning animations, corporate videos, and explainer videos featuring a presenter. From a short 60-second explainer video to a complete e-learning package with dozens of modules. Check out our portfolio for examples.
That varies by type. An animated video starts at €2,500, an e-learning animation at €600 per minute, a corporate video (testimonial) at €850, and an explainer video with a presenter at €2,300, excluding VAT. Use our free cost calculators for an immediate, customized estimate.
On average, 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the type of video, its complexity, and its length. The turnaround time begins after the final script is approved. For rush orders, we can complete the project faster for an additional fee. We always coordinate the schedule with you in advance so you know exactly where you stand.
We work with a wide range of clients: from government agencies and municipalities to healthcare institutions, educational organizations, financial service providers, and technology companies. Clients such as KPMG, Erasmus+, the Municipality of Ede, NJI, and Yellowtail have already worked with us. Making complex or sensitive topics clear and understandable is what we do best.
Explainit is based in Lunteren, in the municipality of Ede, in the heart of the Netherlands. We work for clients throughout the Netherlands and beyond. Since animation projects are largely conducted online, our location doesn’t really matter. However, we’re happy to visit you for filming or an introductory meeting.
More than 15 years. During that time, we’ve produced hundreds of animated videos, corporate films, and e-learning modules for a wide range of industries. You’ll notice that experience in the process: we know exactly which style suits which message and how to deliver a project efficiently and without any surprises.
We start with a no-obligation introductory meeting to clarify your message, target audience, and goals. Next come the script, a storyboard, and the final animation or video. You can provide feedback at every step. We offer unlimited revisions within the scope of the project, though in practice, two rounds of feedback are usually sufficient.
Yes. We keep all project files for 5 years, so changes can always be made. Think of a new brand identity, a revised logo, or an updated price. You don't have to start from scratch.
An animation is ideal if you want to explain abstract concepts, processes, or topics that can’t be filmed. A corporate video works better if you want to showcase real people, locations, or emotion. Sometimes, a combination of both is the smartest choice. We’d be happy to advise you on which format best suits your message and target audience. Be sure to check out our comparison chart as well.
There are three ways to do this: use one of our free cost calculators for an immediate estimate, call us at 0318 240 092, or email us at hallo@explainit.video. We always respond the same business day and are happy to discuss your options with you, with no obligation.
