The problem is almost never the animation

Most explainers that fail are well animated. They fail because the script explains the product from the inside out — how it works, what it's built on, what the features are — to a viewer who hasn't yet been told why any of it matters to them.

Ten seconds is the budget. If the viewer hasn't recognised their own problem in that window, the rest of the animation plays to nobody. So the work starts on the script and the order of the argument, not the visual style.

We write it. You tell us what the product does and who keeps misunderstanding it, and we come back with a script and a storyboard before a single frame is animated. If the script isn't right, nothing downstream fixes it.

Book A Discovery Call

A team on your catalog, not one person on your inbox

Brand Story publishes across every ASIN you own, so a rejection or a weak build is a catalog-wide problem rather than a single-listing one. That is not work to hand to whoever was available.

Cueball runs differently. You choose your dedicated designer from curated samples, and there is a team behind them. Work runs through a structured workflow on Asana with full visibility. Turnaround is 12 to 48 hours, and compliance screening happens before submission rather than after a rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an explainer video cost?

From $350 per finished minute for motion graphics, and from $500 for 2D character animation. Most 60 to 90 second product explainers land between $350 and $1,200 depending on style and length. Full range is in the pricing table above, and every project is quoted at a fixed fee before work starts.

Why is it priced per minute?

Because animation cost scales with runtime — every extra second is more scenes, more assets and more motion work. Style is the other variable, which is why the table splits by both.

Do I have to write the script?

No. We write it. You tell us what the product does and what people keep getting wrong about it.

How long should an explainer be?

Most product explainers land between 60 and 90 seconds. Onboarding videos run longer because they're feature-by-feature. Ad cutdowns are 6 to 30 seconds and usually cut from the main build.

Do you use stock characters and templates?

No. Illustration and animation are built for your brand.

Can you match our existing brand style?

Yes. Send brand guidelines, vector logos and fonts and we build to them.

Do you handle voiceover?

Yes — professional VO, music and sound design. We can also build subtitle-first versions for silent autoplay on social.

Can I get social cutdowns from the same project?

Yes, and it's the efficient way to do it. Every cut you need is part of the delivery list.

How long does it take?

Script and storyboard usually run a week or so with approval time. Animation depends on length and complexity. Timeline is agreed at quote.

Is there a free trial?

Not on video production. The 7-day trial applies to the design subscription. Video is quoted per project or run on a monthly motion subscription.
