Everything You Need to Know About Working With Elucidate

From developing an initial concept to producing finished animations and interactive learning experiences, we've answered some of the most common questions about our services and production process.

  • Not at all. We can begin with a simple idea, a desired outcome, or even a collection of materials you're unsure how to communicate. We'll work with you to understand your objectives, uncover the story, develop the script, and determine the most effective visual approach.

    If you already have a script, storyboard, or creative direction, we're happy to work from your existing materials.

  • We create custom animated brand and marketing videos, product and service explainers, application demonstrations, employee training videos, customer education content, and software tutorials.

    We also offer instructional design services, including interactive learning modules and structured educational programs.

  • Absolutely. We can begin with presentations, PDFs, technical documents, training manuals, existing scripts, marketing materials, or an established curriculum.

    We review the information with your team and identify how to structure it into a clear, engaging video or learning experience.

  • Yes. Our videos feature original artwork developed by professional illustrators and animators, tailored to each project's objectives and brand identity.

    Rather than relying on generic animation templates or AI-generated illustrations, we combine human creative expertise with technology that helps streamline our production process.

  • We consider your audience, message, brand identity, and the information you want to communicate before recommending a visual approach.

    Our Creative Styles page demonstrates different illustration and animation techniques, but you don't need to select a style before contacting us. We'll develop a creative direction together.

Production, Pricing & Collaboration

Let's Find What Works For You

  • Every project is customized, so pricing depends on factors such as video length, creative complexity, illustration requirements, scripting, narration, and the number of deliverables.

    For instructional design projects, pricing also depends on the scope of the learning content and any interactive or technical requirements.

    After discussing your project, we'll prepare a proposal outlining the recommended approach, deliverables, and costs.

  • Production timelines vary depending on the video's length, animation style, complexity, and review requirements.

    A short product explainer typically requires a different production schedule than a detailed training series or interactive learning program.

    We'll establish an estimated timeline during the proposal process and work with you to accommodate important deadlines whenever possible.

  • We begin by understanding your objectives, audience, and existing materials. From there, we develop the messaging and script, establish the creative direction, create storyboards and original illustrations, and produce the animation.

    You'll have opportunities to review and provide feedback at agreed stages throughout the process.

  • Yes. Collaboration and feedback are part of our production process.

    We establish review stages so you can provide input on the script, visual direction, and animation as the project develops.

    The number and scope of included revisions are outlined in each proposal.

  • Yes. One advantage of animation is the ability to revise individual elements without necessarily recreating an entire video.

    Depending on the changes required, we can update illustrations, software interfaces, text, narration, or specific scenes while maintaining the original creative style.

    This is particularly useful for training, technology, and regulated industries where information may change frequently.

  • Yes. We can create animated videos in most languages, helping organizations communicate with customers, employees, and learners around the world.

    Depending on your needs, multilingual production may include translated scripts, narration, captions, and localized on-screen content.

  • Yes. We can produce promotional cutdowns, including 15-, 30-, and 60-second versions, for social media, marketing campaigns, presentations, and events.

    We can also adapt videos for different screen formats and platforms, maintaining consistent messaging and visual identity.

  • We deliver videos in the formats appropriate for your intended platforms and distribution requirements.

    Options may include different aspect ratios, captioned versions, narration variations, and other deliverables specified in the project proposal.
