Startup video FAQ
What video should a startup make first?
An explainer that answers the buyer's first doubts in their own words. Giffy's opens on a small business owner surrounded by "Am I getting behind?" and "Do I have budget for this?", then answers "how?" by building a store on screen. It works on the homepage, in sales emails and on YouTube.
How do you explain a startup product nobody has seen?
Find one picture for it, often in the name. Maze sells user research, which has nothing to look at, so a ball finds its route through a 3D maze. Then flat screens show the real tests: a survey, a prototype heatmap and a copy test with a check and a cross.
Can a startup video run as a paid ad?
Yes, if it gets to the answer fast. Viable's 59-second video shows a support agent buried in feedback, the manual tagging it replaces, then one question typed in plain English and Viable's answer. It ends on "Sign up for a free trial today", so the ad has one next step.
Should a startup video use characters or product screens?
Use characters for the problem and screens for the answer. Giffy's owner falls through a cloud of files and app logos before the store builder appears. Viable puts a support agent in front of the pile, then cuts to its Feedback Summary screen. Maze uses 3D shapes for the idea and flat 2D for the tests.
How much does startup video production cost?
At Advids, a 60-second startup video costs a fixed fee agreed before work starts. A first explainer in flat 2D with characters, like Giffy's or Viable's, sits in Strategic Storytelling, $2,000 to $3,000. A simpler motion graphics explainer with icons and on-screen text is Clean Design, $1,000 to $1,500.
