Custom Whiteboard and Explainer Video Production – How does it work and what are the costs? | Ian David Marsden

YouTube player

Hand-drawn drawing videos or Explainer videos (sometimes called Whiteboard Videos) are an excellent tool for businesses looking to convey complex ideas and concepts in a simple and entertaining manner. As a seasoned illustrator, character designer, and cartoonist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating custom-made whiteboard and explainer videos that are engaging and unique.

To kick-start the production process, I start with a detailed briefing where I gain a full understanding of your requirements and objectives for the video. Then, I develop a script and storyboard that outlines the story and visual elements of the video. Once the script and storyboard have been approved, I begin animating and producing the video.

The cost of a custom whiteboard or explainer video varies based on a range of factors, such as the video’s length, illustration style, animation complexity, and number of revisions. Therefore, I always provide a personalized offer for each project that is tailored to your specific requirements.

When it comes to pricing, I prefer to provide a binding flat rate estimate that includes the entire production process, from script and storyboard development to animation and final delivery. This way, my clients know exactly what to expect, and there are no surprises when it comes to hours spent or unexpected costs. I also provide fixed milestones for delivery and deadlines, ensuring that the project stays on track and is completed on time. Whether you need a single Explainer Video or a series of videos, I can provide you with a comprehensive and transparent estimate that meets your specific needs.

My portfolio includes a variety of illustration and drawing styles that I master to ensure that every project is unique and appealing. Whether you need an explainer video to showcase your products or services, or a whiteboard video to explain your business process, I am confident that I can help you create a captivating video that delivers your message effectively.

Absolutely, every Explainer Video that I create is tailor-made to fit the specific needs and goals of my clients. I do not use any pre-made templates, cookie-cutter characters, or generic puppets. Instead, I work closely with my clients to understand their vision, and then create custom illustrations and animations that bring their message to life in a unique and captivating way.

Contact me today for a no-obligation offer, and let’s work together to produce a custom whiteboard or explainer video that engages your audience and strengthens your brand.
