Describe the project or task Video Explainers helped with:
In my last venture, I spent $40,000 on a two-minute explainer video, a critical component of our marketing effort. It took forever to get done and in the end, was a failure. My lesson was that I needed to keep true to myself and the ideas I wanted to convey as opposed to following the wisdom of a new marketing firm. Nuff said about that.
So in a new venture that I am starting, I needed a banner video, sort of a quick what we do 30-second explainer. And a couple of new videos to portray our methods and differentiators from our competitors.
I searched the web and found Video Explainers. A super low price figured I had little to lose. They asked for a minimal amount to begin the production and the balance due on completion. Here I feel embarrassed even to tell you how little I paid for the work, especially when you see what I paid last time.
I was then introduced to my project coordinator, who explained that he would be my sole point on contact.
I created a draft of the ideas in my head and what I wanted to convey and put it to paper. Working with my project coordinator, our emails began back and forth. We discussed image, goals, messaging, etc. I'm guessing we sent sixty+ emails back and forth. Sounds like a lot, right? It didn't feel like it. It felt like continuous progress, methodically done step-by-step to get it right the first time.
The process went from script design to storyboarding, designing, animating, voiceovers, and music.
In the end, their work was beautiful and on time. Video Explainers produced the three videos I needed and even gave me some HD illustrations that I could use to enhance my website.
Bottom line. A tremendous deal. My coordinator was always helpful and professional. Their work exceeds all my expectations.
Do you think I will use them again? Of course. Should you try them? You bet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
