Video and Creative That Explains What You Do in 90 Seconds

Some things are quicker to show than to write. We produce explainer animation, brand video and photography for businesses whose offer needs demonstrating, the kind of asset that does the talking on a homepage, in a pitch or on a sales call.

What We Produce

Animation, live action and stills, produced by the same team that handles your brand so everything stays on message.

Explainer Animation

Two-dimensional and whiteboard animation that turns a complicated offer into something a viewer understands before they lose interest. Script, storyboard, animation and voiceover.

Brand & Promotional Video

Live-action video for launches, campaigns and company profiles, filmed, edited and delivered in the cuts each platform needs.

Photography

Product, team and location photography, including professional headshots that don't look like they were taken in 2009.

Creative Direction

The thinking before the camera: concept, script and storyboard, so production time is spent executing rather than deciding.

FAQs About Video & Creative

How long does an explainer video take?

It varies widely with style and length. Whiteboard animation runs around four to eight weeks; standard 2D animation anywhere from eight to sixteen. Scripting and storyboard approval are usually the longest stages.

Do you write the script?

Yes, and it's the part that decides whether the video works. We write, you approve, and nothing moves into production until the script is signed off.

What do we get at the end?

Master files plus the cuts and aspect ratios you need for web, social and presentations. Source files are available on request.

Can you film in San Antonio?

Yes, for live action and photography. Animation is produced remotely and reviewed online, so location makes no difference to that work.
