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.

Henry

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.

Bleach Cyber

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.

Jola

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.

Soft Robotics

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.

Data Source

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.

Notion

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.

PhD

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.

Minipip

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.

Bayes Innovation

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.

Free · Online Brief Builder

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

Start your brief

Three details and you're in. Nothing to install, nothing to pay.

Takes about five minutes. No obligation.

How it works

Our Process

The video production process has never been easier than with Squideo. All you need is an idea, and we can work directly with you to build it into something inspiring.

  1. 1Brief

    Tell us what you're explaining.

    Who's watching, what they should do next, and the one thing they must remember. Our free Brief Builder asks 25 questions. Five of them really matter.

    Try the free Brief Builder

  2. 2Script

    We write it. You make it yours.

    We turn the brief into a script in plain English. You mark it up, we tighten it, and every line is signed off before anything gets drawn.

  3. 3Storyboard

    See every scene before it moves.

    Rough sketches show what happens on screen, line by line. No surprises in the final cut.

  4. 4Voice & music

    Any accent. Any language.

    Pick a voice that suits your audience. Licensed music and subtitles come as standard. Try a language:

  5. 5Animate

    Then it comes alive.

    Characters and scenes designed for your brand, storyboarded and produced by our team. You see a first draft and tell us what to change before anything is final.

  6. 6Deliver

    One video. Every channel.

    We cut versions for your website, LinkedIn and Stories. Training videos can live on Squideo Smart Hosting, with tracking built in.
