Video studio for technical products

Ads and explainers for products that are hard to explain.

Animated explainers and ad creative for AI, developer tools, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and technical SaaS — made by an engineer who reads the docs. The screen demonstrates the mechanism; the words just label it.

What we make

Two things, one discipline.

Built for AI, developer-tools, cybersecurity, cloud and technical SaaS teams — products whose value is invisible until someone draws it. Both lines start in the same place: understanding the mechanism well enough to animate it.

01

Ad creative

Short paid-social ads built to stop a scroll and land one idea. Graded footage, kinetic typography, and a story built from the product rather than a list of features.

  • 15–30 seconds, 9:16 and 1:1
  • Licensed footage sourced and graded
  • Hook variants for testing
  • Concept built from your product, never a template
02

Technical explainers

The format the channel is built on. Diagram-led video showing how something actually works, for audiences who can tell when you are bluffing.

  • 45–60 second shorts, or 3–6 minute long-form
  • Script, voiceover and captions included
  • Live diagrams, not bullet points
  • Technically correct — checked, not approximated

$250starting price

One 30-second animated technical explainer

For one defined concept with limited visual complexity. UI-heavy animation, extra formats, paid-ad usage and longer pieces are quoted separately. First delivery about a week after the brief and script are approved.

  • Concept and script
  • Custom diagram-led animation
  • Voiceover and captions
  • One revision round
  • Final MP4, ready to publish

How it runs

Four steps, one revision round.

STEP 01

Brief

What the product does, who it is for, and the one idea the video has to land.

STEP 02

Script & board

Written and approved before anything is animated, so nothing expensive gets rebuilt.

STEP 03

Build

Designed and rendered in code, which is why turnaround is days rather than weeks.

STEP 04

Deliver

Finished MP4s in the ratios you need, plus a subtitle file and poster frame. One revision round included.

Why this works

Four things most video shops can’t offer.

01

It’s built in code, not on a timeline

Every frame is a program. Changing a colour, a number, a language or an aspect ratio is an edit and a re-render, not a rebuild — which is why revisions come back the same day and variants cost almost nothing.

02

Correct by default

The explainers are made by someone who reads the docs. Nothing gets hand-waved into a pretty animation that’s quietly wrong, which matters when your audience is engineers who will notice.

03

Nothing is a template

Every piece gets its own palette, layout, motion language and hero object, designed from your concept. No house style dropped over your logo, because recycled work is obvious to exactly the people you want to impress.

04

You can start small

A first project doesn’t have to be a leap. One scoped 30-second explainer, from $250, gets the treatment applied to your own product — so the decision to do more is made on finished work rather than on a pitch.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Anything not covered here, just ask — you'll get a straight answer, not a sales call.

What do I actually receive?

Finished video files — MP4, H.264, in whatever aspect ratios you need (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), plus an SRT subtitle file and a poster frame for thumbnails. Editable project files aren’t included: the animation is built in a custom code pipeline rather than After Effects, so there’s no timeline to hand over. If you need something changed later, send it back — that’s usually faster than editing it yourself would be.

How long does it take?

A first short is about a week, because that’s where the visual identity gets built. After that, two to three days each. Long-form runs two to three weeks depending on length and how much research it needs.

Who writes the script?

I do, unless you’d rather. Most clients send a rough brief or a doc and get a script back for approval before anything is animated. If you already have a script and voiceover, that works too and it’s faster.

What if I don’t like it?

One revision round is included on every project, and script approval happens before any animation starts, so surprises are rare by design. If you’d rather not commit to a full project first, the $250 pilot is the low-risk way in — you see the treatment on your own product before scaling up.

Can you match our brand?

Yes — send your palette, type and any guidelines and the piece is designed inside them. What doesn’t get reused is the layout and motion language; those are built fresh for each concept.

How does pricing work?

There is one fixed starting point — a 30-second technical explainer on a single concept, from $250 — so you can try the studio without negotiating a scope first. Everything beyond that is quoted per project, because length, research depth, number of variants and turnaround all move the number enough that a rate card would be misleading.
