How much does an explainer video cost in West Yorkshire?

Explainer video costs depend on the video length, style (2D/3D/hybrid), complexity, number of scenes, voiceover requirements, and whether filming is needed. A short, simple animated explainer will cost less than a detailed hybrid piece with custom design, multiple versions and extensive motion graphics. At Rune Films, we tailor every explainer to your objectives and budget, providing clear options that scale with the level of production required.

How long does explainer video production take?

Most explainer video projects take between 3–6 weeks from initial planning to final delivery. Timelines depend on scripting, stakeholder approvals, animation complexity, and the number of review rounds required. Our Leeds-based team manages the full process in-house, keeping projects structured and efficient without compromising quality.

Do you provide scriptwriting and storyboarding?

Yes. We provide full scriptwriting and storyboarding as standard for explainer projects. This ensures messaging is clear, the structure is tight, and the visuals are planned before production begins. This approach reduces revisions later and keeps production aligned with the agreed objective.

Should my explainer be animated or live-action?

It depends on the message and where the video will be used. Animation is ideal for simplifying complex concepts and keeping branding consistent. Live-action works best when trust, people and real environments are important. Many clients choose a hybrid approach - filmed footage supported by motion graphics and on-screen messaging for maximum clarity.

Can you create explainer videos for SaaS and technical products?

Absolutely. We regularly produce explainers for SaaS platforms, technology products and complex services where clarity is critical. We focus on simplifying the message while keeping it accurate and persuasive. We can also incorporate UI capture, screen recordings and animated callouts to improve understanding.

Do you create versions for social media and ads?

Yes. We can supply multiple formats and cutdowns for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and paid campaigns, including subtitles, hook-led openings and shorter edits optimised for performance. This helps your explainer work across awareness, consideration and conversion stages.
