Explain

Short-form? Huge impact!

Explainer videos do just that: they explain. They are bold and efficient little packages of information – the teachers you wish you had in school!
Explainer videos highlight the what, the why and the how – and engage viewers with a strong concept. If you’ve got a lot of information to share in a short time, let an explainer video do the heavy lifting…

Here are a few videos which have done exactly that.
