The Psychology Brian Science is essentially the psychology of audio and visuals

working together in a single message. Research has found that on

average there is a 75% increase of understanding and

application of the material when bother auditory and visual

senses are stimulated compared to just auditory. This means

that the most effective way to get your message across is

through video. Simply put, our brains are hardwired to

respond to video messages. Three things to keep in mind:

Simple Stories Sell - Our working memory can only handle so much information at one time. Overwhelming people

with too many details leads to confusion, and confusing presentations are quickly forgotten. That's one reason why

simple, concise explanations work better at getting your message across. The brain can only focus on and retain bite-

sized bits of information throughout the viewing process.

Memories Matter- Explainer videos rely on metaphors to build on a viewer’s past experience and knowledge. Relating

products and services to things consumers already know goes a long way in building understanding and confidence in

your company.

Video and Sound Create a Winning Team - Audio and video deliver a one-two punch that creates a lasting

impression on the human brain. Research shows that, on average, people experience 75% greater understanding of

the information delivered when using a combination of sight and sound. People retain 58% more information when

both are combined.

Case Studies DROPBOX.COM

Dropbox reaped so much success because it allowed the customer to establish a certain level of interaction with the

company before signing up for its service. This increases trust among customers, which helps to fuel the best kind of

advertising: word of mouth. This word-of-mouth advertising, combined with its no-frills website, helped increase its

conversion rate by 10 percent — and added an extra $48 million in revenue in 2012. This is a massive financial

conversion, considering they only had a 10 percent sign-in increase.

Another reason why explainer videos were so successful is because videos stimulate the senses. Studies show that

people retain 58 percent more information when they can hear and see something at the same time. It makes sense,

doesn’t it? Clear, concise language and quick-hitting facts and details are also known to stick out in the brain, making it

easy for people to remember those facts.

The more we revert back to those facts in our brain, the more we associate the business with them. This increases our

chances of eventually buying a product. Explainer videos stimulate both the mental and visual parts of our brain,

which are used when learning something new. Advertising that combines compelling language with related imagery

will stimulate the viewer’s senses. If you want to be remembered, this is how you should do it.

The Typical Production

Process -

Here at Vinimation.com we have a process we follow to consistently make effective explainer videos.

The details vary at different explainer video production houses, but the process is fairly the same across the

board. Below is a step-by-step overview of what our production process is like.

Should You Write the Script?

There has always been a debate whether you should outsource an agency to write your script about your

company or have an in-house staff member do it? We strongly recommend that there is no better person who

knows your business than yourself, the ins and outs of your business.

We are sometimes approached to write the script for the company and we strongly don’t recommend it,

because nobody knows your company better than you do.

Neil Patel who is the co-founder of Crazy Egg, Hello Bar and Kissmetrics as well as having worked with a ton of

Fortune 500 companies has mentioned that the key to writing a good script and having an awesome video is

that you should use your extensive product/business knowledge as well as client knowledge, skills to

contribute to the video production process when you’re working with your production team.

You can always get a ton of ideas how other companies did their script, simply by just watching their videos

and what tactics they used to convey their message as well as the flow of the entire script. Youtube.com would

be a good start for this.

Ways To Use Your Video? As you may have noticed in the previous section, there are more ways to use your video than placing it on

your website. You can use it for marketing, advertising, sales, training, and internal communications,

depending on your goal for the project and the type of video you produce. Here’s a list of several creative ways

you can use your video.

Sales Teams

You can advantage of your video in a number of ways and have your sales teams send the

video to prospective clients. There has been one case study where a client who e-mailed a

potential customer on LinkedIn in the first week after their video was made and was able in

closing an $800k deal, all from e-mailing a video to a cold lead. That’s a powerful use for video

to a cold lead. This also shows you how much of a return you can get on your investment.

Training and Internal Communications

Another use for your video is training and internal communications. Videos can be created for

education purposes as well as to communicate new initiatives with the entire company. You

can use a video to train employees or to explain changes within an organization such as an

upcoming merger. Explainer videos are a great way to clearly communicate an important

message to all of your employees.

Trade Shows

Have you thought about using an animation video explainer in a trade show? Videos bring

prospective customers to a booth like moths to a flame. If you’re at a booth without a video,

people have to decide to talk to you before they stop by. They have to be ready to commit to

talking to some-one before slowing down and making their way over to your booth. Everything

is different when you have a video. Prospects are compelled to stop and chill for a minute

before they decide to engage in a conversation. This creates a normal, relaxed moment in the

midst of a crazy trade show environment where people can take a break from high pressure

sales tactics. Before you know it, there will be an arc of people watching your video and you

can easily slide over and talk to viewers after they finish watching. It creates a natural transition

and an easy way to start a conversation.

Raising Money

Not only can you your video for marketing and internal communications, you can also use it to

raise money. Dropbox used an explainer video to impress venture capitalists as a way to get

funding. You can also use an explainer video on a site like Kickstarter to generate funding that

way. And once you do have funding, you can create another video to communicate with your

customers as a way to leverage the funding you received and to line up customers for your

product.

Launching Products

Product launches are another great time to use explainer videos. Google used one to announce

Google Drive once it became available, and many of our clients have used video in the same

way. It’s a great way to announce a new product and to make sure your customers know how it

works.

Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is the number one way people use explainer videos. They put them on their

site to increase conversion rates, and they advertise with them on sites like Youtube and

LinkedIn. Hopefully by now you’ve learned that digital marketing isn’t the only way to use your

video, but it is a great way to use it.

Getting the Video onto Your Site

Last but not least, you need to figure out how to get the video onto your site. The good news is

that there are quite a few hosting options available. You can use YouTube, Vimeo, Brightcove

Video, Ooyala, Wistia, or VidYard. We use VidYard because they provide great analytics and also

ensure that the video plays across desktop and mobile devices.

Our Number one recommendation is to not host the video yourself. You might consider this for

the sake of saving money, but it’s not worth it. Self-hosting is way more work and effort than it

needs to be, and you aren’t guaranteed your video will play on all mobile devices. However, if

you are budget conscious, Youtube is a great option because it’s free and works across any

device. As you may have noticed in the previous section, there are more ways to use your video

than placing it on your website. You can it for marketing, advertising, sales, training, and

internal communications, depending on your goal.
