If you think your product’s complexity is the problem, you’re Wrong!

It’s how you’re explaining it that’s the real issue.

The Problem:

👩‍💻 Too Much Jargon:

You’ve crammed your video full of industry terms that only an expert would understand. Most of your audience isn’t that expert.

🚪 Information Overload:

Trying to explain every feature at once only overwhelms your audience and sends them searching for the exit button.

🛑 No Clear Story:

You’re throwing features at the audience instead of taking them on a journey. There’s no emotional hook, just information—lots of it.

The Solution:

🎯 Prioritize Key Messages:

Focus on the core benefits of your software. Your audience doesn’t need to know everything, just what makes your product invaluable to them.

🧠 Break It Down Visually:

Use visuals to simplify complex ideas. Animation can turn a complicated process into a step-by-step, easy-to-digest story.

📖 Storytelling Over Features:

Engage your audience by focusing on the problem your product solves. Features are great, but they should take a backseat to the *why* of your product.

The Conclusion:

🗝️ Simplification is Power:

A simplified message doesn’t make your software less impressive—it makes it more accessible and memorable to your audience.

👀 Less is More:

You don’t need to explain *every* single feature for your audience to get the value of your software. Highlight the most important ones that solve their pain points.

🚀 Convert Confusion into Clarity:

An explainer video with the right focus will turn complicated software into something your audience *wants* to engage with, driving conversions and sales.

Simplifying your message is about more than just cutting down on words—it’s about clarifying your value and making your product resonate.

🤦 I don’t need an explainer video

So you’ve got the tech, the service, or the product... but does anyone actually *get it*?

Here’s the thing: people aren’t scrolling through pages of features. They want fast, clear answers—without a headache.

Why Explainer Videos?

- 🧠 Makes People Say “Ahhh!” Instead of “Huh?”
- 👀 Captures Attention Faster Than a Caffeine Rush:
- 💬 It Talks Without Talking:
- 🤖 Works for the Robots, Too (Yep, SEO)
- 🛠️ Fixes the “What Do You Do Again?” Problem

Still think you don’t need one?

Keep scrolling. Or... shoot me a DM and let's create something awesome 🎬✨

🤦‍♂️ DIY explainer video's suck!

I’ve seen it firsthand

You can build software—why not make your video using one of these quick and easy DIY programs?

How hard can it be, right?

Let me explain.

There’s a reason animation studios don’t use DIY software they’re:

🚫 Extremely limited in customisation: Stuck with cookie-cutter templates.
🎬 Low-quality animation: Your video won’t look polished or professional.
⏳ Time-consuming for minimal results: Hours of work for an average product.

Now, let’s talk about why professional videos are the better option:

🎨 Tailored storytelling: We craft custom animations that tell your unique story.
💎 High production quality: Sharp visuals, smooth transitions, and perfect sound.
⏱️ Saves time and effort: Focus on your business while the pros handle the rest.

So, next time you think about going DIY, ask yourself:

Do you want a video that’s ‘just okay,’ or makes your brand shine? 🌟

If you can’t explain it to your "Nan" and have her understand it

Then it doesn't matter

⚙️✨ Your tech is incredible

You’ve built something cutting-edge, packed with features, and designed to solve real problems

But let me ask you this: Do you have the story to go with it?

Because no matter how ground-breaking your technology is, if your audience can’t connect with

You’re missing out on a huge opportunity

People don’t just buy products or features—they buy stories with emotion

And if you’re not telling one that resonates, you’re leaving money on the table

Think about it. We live in a world where attention spans are shrinking

Quicker than your mum walking in on you......

📑😵‍💫 Your audience won't dig through pages of technical specs or sift through dense product descriptions

What they need is something clear, engaging, and relatable

I can’t stress enough the importance of storytelling

Imagine explaining your product’s most complex feature to someone who’s not in your industry

Chances are, their eyes will glaze over in seconds

It’s not that your product isn’t amazing; it’s just that they don’t understand it the way you do

That’s where a story steps in to save the day

It takes your audience on a journey, simplifying complex information, and using visuals and narratives that

Bring your product to life

You’re not just telling them what it does—you’re showing them how it fits into their lives

Your product becomes the hero

Showing up when they need you most.

🌌🌠 Like Luke Skywalker destroying the Death Star

🐉👑 Like Prince Charming saving the princess from the dragon (or Shrek depending on how old you are🤣)

🦸‍♂️👩‍🦰 Like Superman saving Lois Lane

🐍🤠 Like Indiana Jones stopping the n***s

It's time for your product to be the Luke Skywalker of tech

Hitting that stupidly small exhaust vent in the X-wing

And saving the day like a boss.

Take all that complex tech and break it down into something anyone can understand (Even your nan)

Animation, visuals, and voiceovers combine to create a narrative that makes sense

And here’s the thing: Your competitors might have similar tech, but if you are telling a better story

Guess who’s going to win the attention game?

It’s not about having the flashiest animations or the most advanced features

It’s about how well you communicate your message

🤝 It’s about bridging the gap between your technology and the human using it

Not everyone speaks "tech," and that’s okay

If they did, well I wouldn't have a business 🤣

What explainer videos do is take your audience by the hand and guide them through your product

Showing them why it’s important, how it makes their life easier, and why they should care

So, ask yourself: Do you have the tech and the story?

If your answer is no, let’s fix that

🎬✨ Because the best tech in the world means nothing if no one gets the story behind it

Your Software Features Are Brilliant, But Does Your Audience Get It?

Software packed with genius is great, but if your audience doesn’t "get it," what’s the point?

🖥️💡 Here’s how we fix that (without the tech overload).

🔍 Step 1: Cut Through the Complexity

• AI can’t always explain your features in plain English.
• Simple, clear messaging beats data overload.
• Animation breaks it down, so everyone understands.

🎨 Step 2: Turn Tech Speak into Real Talk

• Tech jargon at family dinner? No thanks.
• Visuals simplify the message for non-tech audiences.
• Seeing it > reading about it—connect the dots faster.

💰 Step 3: Highlight ROI Without the Boring Numbers

• Numbers are great - visuals make them pop.
• Show savings and benefits without boring stats.
• Think superhero movie, not spreadsheet.

👥 Step 4: Speak to the Human Side of Tech

• People buy solutions, not features.
• Animation shows how your product fits their workflow.
• Make it relatable, no robot-speak allowed.

Why I think you do not need a viral video to succeed

I get it—everyone dreams of their video going viral

But, here’s the truth: virality isn’t the only measure of success.

In fact, many more important factors lead to long-term results.

Let me break it down for you.

Here’s what matters:

💡 Consistency Is Key:

- Regular content keeps you top-of-mind.
- Builds trust over time, just like a solid relationship.
- Audiences return when they know they can rely on you.

🎯 Relevance Over Hype:

- Speak to your audience’s needs, not fleeting trends.
- Address real problems they’re facing right now.
- Trends fade, but value-driven content sticks.

🤝 Connection with the Audience:

- Focus on emotions and storytelling, not just visuals.
- Make your viewers feel seen and understood.
- Authenticity beats flashy every time.

📈 Long-Term Engagement:

- Regular interaction leads to loyal customers.
- Quality content builds lasting brand recognition.
- Engagement > vanity metrics (like views alone).

💬 Real ROI Comes from Action, Not Views:

- It’s not about likes; it’s about conversions.
- Guide viewers to take meaningful steps (sign up, buy, etc.).
- A smaller, engaged audience > a million passive viewers.

How I Think AI Will Affect Video Content 🤖🎥

(And Why It Won’t Make You Stand Out) 🚀

What’s Happening:

- 🌟 Ultra-realistic video
- ⏳ Long-form video with a single prompt
- 🔄 The blend of what’s real and what’s AI

The Problem:

- 🤯 Everyone will have the same content
- 🔍 Standing out will get harder because of this
- 🚫 No creativity needed because AI will do it all for you

Do you want to stand out or blend in? 💡👀

Animated Videos are failing

The Real Reason I Think Your Animated Videos Are Failing

(And What to Do to Change That!)

You’ve invested in high-quality animation, but the conversions aren’t exactly rolling in.

What’s going wrong? and how to fix it:

🎯 Missing the Target:

- Problem: Your video might be too focused on flashy effects rather than addressing the viewer’s pain points.

- Solution: I Tailor your animation to solve real problems and highlight benefits. Make it about the audience, not just the aesthetics.

🔍 Lack of Clear Call-to-Action:

- Problem: High production value doesn’t matter if your CTA is vague or missing.

- Solution: Craft a compelling, clear CTA that directs viewers on what to do next. Make it easy and irresistible to click through.

📉 Skipping the Storytelling:

- Problem: A dazzling video without a strong narrative can leave viewers confused or uninterested.

- Solution: Develop a storyline that captivates and educates. Turn complex ideas into a coherent and engaging narrative.

🚀 Ignoring Data Insights:

- Problem: You might be ignoring key metrics on viewer behaviour and engagement.

- Solution: Track and analyse your video performance. Use data to refine your approach and understand what resonates with your audience.

💡 Enhancing Engagement:

- Problem: A beautiful video can still fall flat if it doesn’t actively engage viewers.

- Solution: Incorporate interactive elements and compelling visuals that invite viewers to interact and stay interested.

Another happy client

(I think this has to be one of my favourite videos and was really enjoyable to work with these guys)

This company are a tech start-up and were looking for a video to show to potential clients and drive more traffic and sales.

Their words were the product itself isn't exactly exciting and sexy but they wanted a video to make it so to show off the benefits of their service and how it can help the health industry.

This was the outcome below.

Testimonial:

Amazing edit and a pleasure to work with
We worked with Ross and the folks at Motion to product a promo video for our Saas product and had an amazing experience! The team was a pleasure to work with and made our lives incredibly easy as someone who was new to production; they assisted in all aspects of storyboarding, voiceover and the final edit, and were incredible flexible with suggested revisions and timelines.

We are incredibly impressed with the quality of the final edit and would highly recommend for anyone looking to create a killer marketing video!

The psychology of color and how it influences emotion 🎨

Ever wondered why some animated videos just *click* with you more than others?

It’s not magic—it's colour psychology! Here’s a peek into how the colours we use in animation can shift how viewers feel and react. 🚀

🔵 Blue: The Calm Conqueror

Blue isn’t just a cool colour; it’s like the zen master of the animation world. It’s known for its calming effect, often used to evoke trust and professionalism. Think of it as the friendly, reassuring vibe you get from your favourite mentor. 🧘‍♂️

🔴 Red: The Passionate Powerhouse

Red is the fiery force of nature in the colour spectrum. It grabs attention and stirs up emotions—perfect for scenes that need a jolt of energy or urgency. It’s like the espresso shot in your morning routine—strong, impactful, and impossible to ignore. ☕️

💚 Green: The Refreshing Reliever

Green represents growth and renewal. In animation, it’s great for creating a sense of calm and balance. Picture it as a breath of fresh air in a hectic scene—restorative and soothing. 🍃

💛 Yellow: The Optimistic Energizer

Yellow is your go-to for spreading sunshine and cheer. It’s often used to evoke happiness and positivity. If you want your viewers to feel warm and fuzzy inside, yellow is your colour hero. 🌟

🖤 Black: The Sophisticated Shaper

Black brings a touch of elegance and sophistication. It’s the colour of choice for creating high contrast and making other colours pop. Think of it as the stylish suit that makes everything look a bit more refined. 🎩

Colours aren’t just eye candy—they’re the unsung heroes of emotional storytelling in animation. So next time you watch a video, take a moment to appreciate how the colour palette is working its magic on your mood!

Why Your Boring Old Slides Are Making You Lose Clients 😴📉

Let’s face it—those old slide decks might be easy to create, but they’re not doing you any favours in the client department.

Here’s why your trusty slides might be costing you more than you think and how animated videos can save the day!

🚀 Slide Fatigue: The Hidden Client Killer

Remember the last time you sat through a presentation full of bullet points and endless text? Yeah, so does your audience. Your slides might be boring clients to tears, leading to lost opportunities and yawns.

🎬 Animation: The Engagement Game-Changer

Why settle for static slides when animated videos can bring your message to life? With vibrant visuals and dynamic storytelling, animated videos grab attention and keep it—making your pitch memorable and effective.

💥 The Power of Visual Storytelling

Slides can only do so much—animation, on the other hand, weaves your message into a compelling story. From eye-catching graphics to engaging narratives, animated videos make complex ideas easy to understand and hard to forget.

🔄 Stale Slides vs. Fresh Animation

Those old slides might feel like a safe bet, but they’re missing the excitement factor. Animated videos not only refresh your presentation style but also showcase your brand’s creativity and innovation, setting you apart from the competition.

👀 Captivate, Don’t Compete

Stop blending into the background and start standing out! Animated videos are your secret weapon for making a lasting impression and keeping clients engaged. It’s time to ditch the snooze-fest and embrace the future of presentations.

"If you’re tired of hearing ‘next slide, please,’ it’s time for an upgrade. Let’s chat and make your content unforgettable!" 👀🔄
