As you’re planning resources for the video, the infographic suggests that production of an average explainer video breaks down into 11% of the time being spent on the initial design, 16% on the script and voiceovers, 55% on the animation and design, 16% of production, and 2% on editing. Don’t forget one more thing. If you plan to use the video on social media add text overs since majority to videos played on social networks are played without audio. And perhaps most important, review the sample of your partner of choice, see what they have done in the past and if they understand your mission. Creativity is key and a good story needs to be told in the right way.
