The best way to explain

Our 2D animated explainer videos are designed to make complex ideas clear, engaging, and easy to understand.

At Pearldrop, we create animated explainer videos that help businesses explain what they do, how they do it, and why it matters — quickly and confidently. Whether you’re launching a new product, explaining a service, or introducing your brand to a new audience, animation allows you to communicate clearly without oversimplifying your message.

Why Use a 2D Animated Explainer Video?

Explainer videos work because they respect your audience’s time.

Instead of long blocks of text or technical jargon, a well-crafted animated explainer delivers your message visually and verbally at the same time. This makes information easier to understand, easier to remember, and easier to act on.

2D animation is particularly effective when:

  • your product or service is complex or abstract

  • you need to explain a process or workflow

  • live-action filming isn’t practical or desirable

  • you want a consistent, brand-led visual style

What Makes a Great Explainer Video?

A strong animated explainer is built on clarity, structure, and intent.

Every explainer video we produce is shaped around:

  • a clear audience and objective

  • a focused message

  • a logical, easy-to-follow narrative

  • visuals that support the message rather than distract from it

The goal is simple: your audience should understand what you do within seconds and feel confident taking the next step.

Our Explainer Video Process

Our animated explainer video production process is collaborative and structured, keeping everything clear from start to finish.

Discovery & Planning

We take time to understand your business, audience, and goals so the video works hard for you, not just visually.

Scriptwriting & Storyboarding

We write clear, concise scripts and create storyboards that show exactly how the video will unfold before animation begins.

2D Animation & Sound

Our team brings the story to life using bespoke 2D animation, motion graphics, professional voiceover, and sound design — all aligned with your brand.

Review & Delivery

You’ll review and refine the video before we deliver final versions optimised for web, social media, presentations, and campaigns.

 

Where Explainer Videos Work Best

Animated explainer videos are highly versatile and can be used across:

  • websites and landing pages

  • product and service pages

  • social media and paid campaigns

  • presentations, pitches, and internal comms

They often become one of the most effective long-term content assets a business owns.

Why Choose Pearldrop?

At Pearldrop, we treat animated explainer videos as strategic communication tools, not generic content.

By combining strong storytelling with commercial awareness, we create explainer videos that don’t just explain — they build confidence, remove confusion, and help audiences take action.

If you’re looking for 2D animated explainer video production that’s thoughtful, well-crafted, and built to deliver real value, we’d love to talk.
