Animation of an explanatory video
Hello everyone!
I am looking for an animator who can create high-quality animation for an explanatory video for the website https://explainatorium.com.
All illustrations are ready:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ja0L_3jb2gAOblWITY-ax9Wy1bReN-qe
Vector files in layers will be provided to the performer.
The voiceover will be in English, so understanding English is welcome.
Please publish similar works and your price.
Here is the script:
1. Alright, so you and your team have launched a company or a startup.
We show three people, they sit in a rocket, it takes off. It says "Startup".
2. We show the inside of the rocket, these people are toasting with champagne against the backdrop of a porthole.
Behind the porthole, instead of stars and planets, graphic icons (from the business world), graphs, numbers, dollars, words like "ideas", and "profit" fly by.
3. John knows you’re amazing, Melissa knows… and that’s pretty much it.
The camera zooms in on one of the crew members – John. He is happy, laughing, and above his head appears the text "John, production manager".
Then the angle shifts to the girl, above her head appears the text "Melissa, accountant"
Only the three of you know how great you are.
4. The camera pulls back, showing all three, they look at the camera in surprise, as if they understand that not everything is going smoothly. Above their heads, question marks pop up, clouds with the text "Really?" and "Oh no!"
5. And to make things even more interesting —
your product isn’t something people instantly “get.”
It’s complex enough that it has to be explained…
but doing that isn’t always quick or easy.
We pan the camera to a wall where a blueprint titled "Our product" hangs.
On the blueprint is a diagram of an incomprehensible device, some formulas, calculations, numbers, symbols... They seem to start dancing, shaking... We show the rocket from the inside, flames start to flicker from its nozzle, the rocket shakes and is forced to land.
6. A hatch opens, the three run out and head towards a small house, past a sign with an arrow pointing towards the house and the text "Potential client"
7. First, you went to a potential customer — but guess what — he didn’t understand a thing.
We show the team, two holding the blueprint, the third (the company creator) pointing at it with a pointer... formulas, calculations, numbers, symbols fly from the blueprint towards the client.
The client sits with a confused look...
8. Then you tried an investor — but he gave you exactly five minutes of his time.
We show an office, a business-looking person sits at the table, flipping over a large hourglass that says "5 min". The team stands in the corner, disheartened...
9. After that, you decided to go to another investor — and he found the whole thing… boring.
We show a third office... Again, the team holds the blueprint, the startup creator points at it – the investor sits and yawns...
10. And now you’re sitting there, frustrated… thinking:
"How do we explain all this simply, quickly, and in an engaging way?"
We show the rocket from the inside, the startup creator sits in front of a computer, side view/over the shoulder, thinking... scratching his head...
11. And right at that very moment… that’s when we appear on the scene.
Here on the screen appears a letter, with the Explainatorium logo, and the text "We think you might need our help."
12. On the screen, a similar video starts playing, the first 5 seconds, as two people sit in the rocket and the rocket takes off.
13. Then we show, already from a frontal angle, how the startup creator finishes watching the video, instead of pupils, spirals are spinning (symbolizing light zombification), and his tongue is hanging out in happiness...
After finishing the viewing, the startup grabs the phone and calls Explainatorium, saying something quickly. Words appear in a cloud “I want a video like that for my startup!!!”!!!
14. Then we show the Explainatorium building, work is in full swing... sounds are coming from there, the building shakes, letters, notes, icons fly out...
15. Then a dove flies out of the building with a video player tied to it. It flies through the porthole of the rocket.
16. The video player falls on the table of the startup owner.
17. We show frontally: The owner sits in front of the computer and watches the video, he is zombified again....
We show from behind: The startup presses the Send button under the player...
18. Then we split the screen (not the startup's screen, but just our screen) into 3 parts. We show those three people the startup creators went to earlier. (One person in each part)
They also sit and watch the screen in a zombified manner. Notes, icons, letters fly from the screens...
19. The voiceover sounds:
And finally — it’s not just you three who know you’re awesome anymore.
Then we show the startup creator, the door to his office (in the rocket) opens and all three, with inspired faces, simultaneously rush in and line up:
- One of them with a suitcase of money
- The other with a stack of contracts
- The third waves a flag: “I AM IN!
We do a closeup on these elements.
The voiceover sounds:
And just like that — now you’re almost famous.
You’ve got clients, sponsors… and, of course, money.
20. Final scene:
Explainatorium — where ideas become clear, fast, engaging.
We show the Explainatorium building again, where work is in full swing and this slogan appears on the screen.

Creating an explainer for Explainatorium is a double responsibility. This video is your face; it must prove that you are the best, so the animation should be "bold," smooth, and with perfect timing.
The script is excellent — it has a lot of "meta-humor" and emotions. To make this work, I will not use simple "slides."
My approach to your task:
1. Character Animation (Character Acting): The most important thing here is emotions. Scenes 4 (surprise), 10 (frustration/scratching head), and 13 (zombie spirals in eyes) require manual work on facial expressions and gestures. I will create character rigs in After Effects so they move naturally, not like puppets.
2. Transition Dynamics: The script requires camera work (Zoom in on John, Zoom out on the rocket, Split Screen at the end). I will build seamless transitions between scenes so the story flows smoothly.
3. English Voiceover: My English is fluent. I will synchronize the articulation (Lip Sync, if needed) and animation accents precisely to the narrator's intonations.
4. Working with Source Files: I professionally work with others' AI/EPS files, preparing them correctly for import and animation (Cleanup of layers).
… Experience: 15 years in motion design (founder of Startfire studio). I specialize in complex narrative explainers.
Budget and timeline guidelines:
This is a rich video (~60-90 seconds) with complex animation.
• Cost: 30,000 – 45,000 UAH (~$750−$1000). This is the price for "flagship" level work that will sell your services.
• Timeline: 10-14 working days (including preview and revisions).
I am ready to take one test scene (for example, the rocket launch) so you can see that we match in rhythm and quality.

Thank you for the detailed description and script — the project is very interesting, I love such narrative explainer videos with humor and storytelling 😊
I have carefully reviewed the script and examples. Since you already have the illustrations ready and they are in vector format by layers — this greatly speeds up the work and allows for maximum attention to the quality of animation, synchronization with the voiceover, and direction of movement.
I will be happy to collaborate, ready to discuss the details and start working 💛

13324 114 1 8 days600 USDGood day! 👋
I have reviewed the Explainatorium website and the script — the task is more than clear. I like this style of illustrations; it will result in an excellent video.
❓ I would like to clarify a few points:
Is the overall duration of the video already fixed, or are adjustments to the timing allowed?
Is the voiceover already recorded, or will it be done later?
Is there a plan to adapt the video for other formats (social media, presentations)?
Is there a deadline by which the video must be ready?
…
💰 Regarding the cost:
The estimate for such a video is from $500–700,
the exact price depends on: final timing, complexity of character animation, number of revisions.
We can also start with a separate project (animatic / scene test) to make it easier for you to make a decision.
