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.
