An explainer video company plans, writes, designs and animates a short video that makes one idea about your product or service easy to understand, then delivers it ready to use on your website, in sales follow ups and in training. Website Talking Heads has produced video since 2001, more than 30,000 videos for more than 4,000 clients, and explainer videos are made the same way as everything else we make: by people, not by a template.
We are a production company, not a software tool. You tell us what the video has to do. We write or polish the script, design custom graphics, record a professional voice over and animate the finished video. Our work has won Telly and w3 awards.
An explainer video answers one question a buyer has before they buy. What is this, how does it work, and why should I care? A good explainer answers that in plain words and pictures, in the order the buyer needs to hear it.
The work behind a finished explainer falls into five parts. A company that does all five for you saves you the hardest part of the job, which is turning what you know into something a stranger understands the first time.
There is no single explainer style. The right one depends on what you have to explain and who has to understand it. These are the styles we make, each with its own page of examples you can watch.
Not sure which one fits? Our guide to spokesperson video vs explainer video compares the two main choices side by side.
Real projects show what an explainer video company can actually deliver. Each of these is published on our own pages with the video you can watch.
Most explainer video companies show a reel. A reel tells you a company can make something look good. It does not tell you whether they can make your idea clear to your buyer. Ask these questions before you hire one.
An explainer is most valuable where a buyer is deciding. That means the page where they compare you, the email after a sales call and the first screen of your product. It also works for teams: onboarding, policy updates and safety training all land faster when people can watch the idea instead of reading it.
Companies that need a set of videos rather than one often combine explainers with other corporate work. Our corporate video production page covers training, safety, sales and product videos made by the same team.
Animated explainers, whiteboard videos and custom video presentations are priced by project, because the length, the style and the number of scenes change the work. We quote the exact video you need. Call 801-748-2281 or see our video pricing page for the services that have fixed prices.
An animated explainer takes longer than a filmed spokesperson video, because it needs a script, a storyboard, illustration and animation. A website spokesperson video is typically delivered in 5 to 7 business days after the script is approved. We give you a delivery date for your explainer with the quote.
If you need a buyer to understand your product the first time they see it, talk to us. Send the goal and what you have, and we will tell you which style fits, what it will cost and when it will be ready.

It writes or polishes the script, designs the look, records a professional voice over and animates or films the scenes. Website Talking Heads does each of those steps in house and delivers a file you can use on your website, in sales follow ups and in training.

An online maker is a software tool: you pick a template and do the writing, timing and editing yourself. An explainer video company does that work for you, with writers, illustrators, animators and real voice talent. If the video has to sell a product to a buyer who is comparing suppliers, a produced explainer with custom graphics usually looks and sounds like the company you want to be seen as.
Choose 2D animation for software, apps and services that need characters and story. Choose whiteboard animation for training, compliance and step by step ideas. Choose motion graphics for data, features and fast product tours. Choose 3D animation for machines, medical processes and anything no camera can film. Choose a spokesperson when trust and a real human face matter most.
