EXPLAINER VIDEOS
Explain your business in under a minute
An explainer video is a short animated film, usually 30 to 90 seconds long, that shows what your business does, the problem it solves and what the viewer should do next. Plenty of people who won’t read a whole page will watch a minute of video, and a good story stays with them.
Digital Consulting writes the script, designs the scenes in your colours, and adds a voice-over, music, sound and subtitles. You get a wide version for your website and YouTube, and a vertical version for Reels, TikTok and WhatsApp Status.
The example above is one Digital Consulting made for its own SEO and AI visibility service: a burst geyser at 9 p.m., a question to an AI assistant, and the three things AI looks for before it names a business.
The example’s script
- The hookNine p.m. The geyser’s burst. Thandi needs a plumber, fast.
- The changeShe doesn’t scroll through ten links any more. She just asks. And AI answers with a name or two. Not a page of links.
- The problemIf AI doesn’t know your business, you’re not in the answer. Even if you’re the best.
- The solutionAI looks for three things: clear answers on your website, facts it can read, and people vouching for you.
- The payoffGet those right, and the next time someone asks, it’s your name it gives.
- The sign-offDigital Consulting. Get found. Get recommended by AI.

VERTICAL VIDEOS
Made for the phone in their hand
On Reels, TikTok and WhatsApp Status, people hold their phones upright. So every Digital Consulting explainer video comes with a vertical version, with words big enough to read on a small screen.
This 32-second example was made for Digital Consulting’s own web design service: a visitor drops out of a Google search and rolls through a hand-drawn chain-reaction machine, from a fast website to a ringing phone.
It’s a different style from the example at the top, too: pencil sketches on paper instead of illustrated characters. Every video gets the look that suits your business and your message.
Example: a 32-second vertical video for Reels, Facebook and LinkedIn.
What every explainer video includes
One price covers the whole job, from the first idea to the files you post.
A script written for you
Digital Consulting turns what you do into a short story with one clear message, and you approve every word before anything is made.
Illustration and animation
Characters, scenes and motion designed in your colours, so the video looks like your brand, not a template.
Voice-over
A warm, natural-sounding narrator who reads your script clearly. Prefer a human voice artist? We can book one for an extra fee.
Music and sound
A music bed and sound effects that set the mood and keep people watching to the end.
Subtitles
Subtitles on every version, so your video still makes sense when the sound is off.
Wide and vertical versions
A 16:9 version for your website and YouTube, and a 9:16 cut for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and WhatsApp Status.
Explainer video pricing
One clear starting price. Your quote depends on the length, the style and the voice.

Explainer video FAQs
Digital Consulting’s animated explainer videos start at R2,000 per video. The price depends on the length, the style of animation and the voice: our narrator is included, and a human voice artist is quoted separately. You get a clear price before any work starts.
From 48 hours. Once we have your brief, logo and colours, Digital Consulting writes the script, and once you approve it, we make the video. Quick approvals keep it fast; longer or more detailed videos take a few days more.
Most explainer videos work best at 30 to 90 seconds: long enough to explain one idea clearly, short enough that people watch to the end. We recommend a length for your message, and for ads and social media we can also cut a shorter version.
