What we make
Ten of the things we get asked for most. Every one below is a real project. Pick a type to watch it, or go through to more of the same.
Work.life
Explainer videos
The workhorse. Sixty to ninety seconds that take something you can only currently explain in a meeting and make it land with someone who has never heard of you.

Software demo videos
The product on screen, doing the thing it does. A guided tour of the interface at the pace a prospect can follow, cut to the three moments that make them want a trial rather than the thirty they would skip.

Animated promotional videos
Built to be advertised behind. Shorter, punchier and cut for the feed, with the message doing its work in the first three seconds because that is all a scroll gives you.

Corporate video production
Restrained, brand-accurate and safe to put in front of a board or a procurement team. The style does the reassuring so the script can get on with the argument.

Cartoon videos
Characters and warmth, for when the subject is dry and the audience is not obliged to care. Disarming rather than childish: it is a tone, not a target age.

Motion graphics
Type, shape and rhythm rather than characters. The right answer when the story is a process or a number and a cast would only get in its way.

Animated infographics
Data that moves. A chart in a deck asks people to work out why it matters; the same figures animated in order tell them, and they remember the order.

Product videos
For physical products that have to look good enough to buy. Every angle, every ingredient and the inside of the box, animated to a finish a studio shoot would struggle to match, without the studio, the props or the reshoots.

eLearning videos
Onboarding and training people will actually finish. Broken into short modules, paced for someone taking it in on a Tuesday afternoon rather than someone who chose to be there.

Educational animated videos
For schools, universities and research groups with something genuinely difficult to explain. Paced for retention rather than persuasion, and made to be watched twice.

You know you need a video.
Briefing it is the hard part.
The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call: what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.
- Saves as you type, so you can stop halfway and come back whenever
- Twenty-five questions, and only five that really matter
- Ends with a document any production company could work from
- Free, no card, and no password to remember

I did my homework, to find a suitable company to produce my first explanation video. The quotes I received where similar, but Squideo came back to me with a much cheaper quote. At first, I thought I was missing something, or that there was going to be a hidden cost on completion. But to my surprise, they produced a brilliant 60 second video, working with their script and animation with my input. When the first draft was sent to me, it was better than I thought it would be, and with an option to have one final request for amendments, it's now perfect. Thanks for all your hard work. i will be definitely be using your services again in the future. Mike 1st Car Credit

I've worked with Squideo on multiple occasions over the last 3 years, they've created both Videos and Gifs for me, and not once have they even nearly disappointed. Customer experience all the way through to the final product is spot on and their pricing is exceptionally competitive. We will be using their services again for sure!

The team at Fifty-Squid did a fab job! I told them what I was after and they produced a fun and engaging explainer video for us. The process was super easy and the communication was great. As a matter of fact, everything turned out so well, we purchased another two videos to be produced! Do yourself a favour....if you need a service like this, Fifty-Squid is the ONLY place you need to look!

Hi there! I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with the Squideo ‘Team’ who enabled me to produce a truly inspirational video which meant we delivered some vital, yet less vivacious information, in an innovative, inspirational way. I’m a volunteer, a governor at Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust and this video was funded by Healthstars -Smile Foundation. It was to be presented by me at our Annual Members Meeting, no pressure for any of us.... Communication was key to us getting to know each other, my queries and requests were answered refreshingly promptly and with a professional can do approach by the Squideo Team, a massive thank you for that. I know I put you up against the wire with timescales, and yet you still delivered on point and with time to spare! I was probably a pain, but never felt that I was, Ever! Everything I asked for and more was in the video. I think I got your praise, so I’ve got to share it with you all please accept a ‘Huge Thank you’ from me and my team the video was commended in despatched! Good coffee too, catch up soon Julie Julie Hastings, East Riding Governor, Lead Governor (volunteer), Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust.

We loved the results the guys and girls at Squideo gave us. We wanted an offishal video to mark our community open days at the Bonus Arena and they did a reel good job, creating some-fin special. We cod-n’t have asked for a ‘batter’ final product.

Common questions
What is an animated explainer video?
Animated explainer videos are short online marketing videos used to explain a company's story, product or services, often in a memorable way. They allow information or a service to be explained in a clear and succinct way and are a great method of communicating with a target audience in a short and simple way.
Animated videos are a much more cost-effective and accessible method of video production. More companies than ever are choosing animated video over live action (filmed) content, which involves additional costs such as actors, filming equipment and location costs. With animated video, updates and tweaks are seamless and straightforward.
Why use an animated explainer video production company?
Successfully promoting your business or services requires something impactful. The attention span of potential customers can often be limited, and they are more inclined to watch a video than to read a pitch about your services.
Getting someone to click on your explainer video is only part of the marketing battle. Once you've got a potential customer watching, you want to ensure they stay the course so that your marketing message can hit home.
An explainer video should be easily understandable and cut through the jargon. It should not be overly long, nor should it be a hard sell.
What opportunities are there when using an animated explainer video?
For many companies, embracing the services of an animated video production company for the first time can be daunting. After all, you don't know that your outlay is going to bring a return on your investment.
A well-produced video can gain you traction whatever channels you promote it through, whether it is hosted on your own website or elsewhere on the likes of YouTube or Vimeo.
Include your video in an introductory company email and you can boost your click-through rates. Use it to reach customers on social media and you can be sure it is targeted to your core audience.
Will using a video production company be money well spent?
If growing your business, increasing your brand awareness and improving your conversion rate is your goal, then a video agency could be key to helping you achieve this. Video should not be underestimated as a way to achieve some of your key goals.
Quality, well-planned video production doesn't have to cost you your entire marketing budget. Costs will depend on your requirements, but remember that cheaper is not always best, as a low-quality video could have the opposite impact and damage your brand.
