Every startup company needs a way to cut through competition and be seen. What better way to market yourself than by having an animated explainer video do all the talking for you?What Is An Explainer Video?:An explainer video, as the name suggests, is a short narration of your business proposition that succinctly explains who you are, what you do and throws light on what products/services you have on offer for the people you’re targeting.Animation is both engaging and shareable, which is why companies, big and small harness the power of animation to deliver visually compelling business stories to attract prospects!

A major benefit delivered by kinetic typography is that it takes less time as compared to creating character driven animation videos, courtesy its text-based nature.2.) Character Animation Video:We’ve all grown up on cartoons and character driven animation, so why not adopt the same format while designing explainer videos? This style is the most engaging as it relies on characters, detailed scenery and a complex storyline being narrated in the simplest way possible!

Character animation is perhaps the greatest way to share stories that evoke a strong emotion, thereby striking a chord immediately with your audience members!3.) Infographic Video:If your script consists of complex statistics, mind-boggling information, then an infographic video is the way to go.
