Explanation Video Company in Bangalore: Pick Right
If you’re hunting for an explanation video company in Bangalore, the first thing to sort out isn’t the company. It’s which kind of video you actually need. An explanation video is a short film that takes something your customer doesn’t get yet and makes it land in a minute or two, and there are four main types, each for a different job. Pick the wrong type and even a good company hands you a video that does nothing. This piece covers the types, how to vet a company, and how we work at Denzong Films in Kodihalli.
We’ve shot, edited and delivered finished films in 24 hours for Accel and the Groww IPO film for Peak XV, and we hold a 5.0 average across 91 Google reviews. So the advice below comes from a team that ships under real deadlines.
What an explanation video actually is, and why it works
An explanation video has one job: take an idea your customer is fuzzy on and make it obvious, fast. People won’t read three paragraphs on your website, but they’ll happily watch a 60-second film that shows what you do.
Think of how a good autorickshaw driver gives directions. He doesn’t recite every turn on the map. He says “go straight, second signal, you’ll see the temple, we’re just behind it.” He cuts the noise and hands you the one thread you can follow. A strong explanation video does that with your product. A weak one hands you the whole map and lets you get lost. That’s why these videos earn their place on a homepage, a sales deck, or an onboarding flow.
The four types of explanation video, and which one fits you
Most people use “explainer” as one word and assume every company makes the same thing. They don’t, and the type you choose changes the cost, the timeline and how easily you can edit it later.
Animated explainer videos. 2D or motion-graphics work where characters, icons and text do the explaining. The right call when the thing you sell is invisible: software, a payment flow, a data product. Animation draws what’s happening inside a process nobody could point a camera at, and it’s the easiest to edit later, since a script change means re-animating a scene rather than re-shooting a day.
Live-action explainer videos. Real people, real camera, real locations. You reach for this when trust and a human face matter more than diagrams: a founder explaining why they built the company, a doctor walking a patient through a procedure. It’s harder to change after the shoot, so the script has to be locked tighter first.
Whiteboard animation videos. The hand-drawn style where illustrations appear as if someone’s sketching them in front of you. It still works for one job: teaching a step-by-step concept where the viewer feels walked through it on a board. Usually cheaper than full character animation, which is part of why it lasted.
Product explainer videos. A close look at the actual thing, whether that’s a screen recording of your app or a 3D render of a physical product. The job is to show the product working so well that the viewer pictures themselves using it. This is where 3D earns its keep, since you can show the inside of a machine without cutting one open.
Plenty of the strongest videos mix these, opening with a few seconds of live-action to build trust, then switching to a screen demo. We make all four formats plus 2D and 3D animation and motion graphics, so we pick the type that fits your message instead of pushing you into the one format a single-skill studio happens to sell.

Why Bangalore is a sensible place to make one
Bangalore is where a lot of your potential clients already are. The city’s full of startups, SaaS companies and product teams, so the explanation video companies here have made a stack of films for exactly that buyer. They know how to explain software because they’ve done it fifty times. And a local company means you can sit in for the important calls and react to a real cut the same day, not over email.
How to vet an explanation video company without getting fooled
A good showreel tells you what a company’s best-funded client let them make on a generous budget. It says almost nothing about how they’ll treat your project. Judge any explanation video company in Bangalore on these instead.
- The script process, not just the finished films. Most explanation videos fail at the script, not the visuals. Ask who writes, and whether they lock the script with you before any shooting starts. A company that rushes this hands you a polished video that explains nothing.
- Who actually does the work. Ask whether the writer, animator and editor are one team or a chain of freelancers. Every handoff between vendors is a place your message gets watered down.
- Revisions, in writing. Ask how many rounds are included and what happens after. This is where most client relationships sour, so a straight answer upfront is a good sign.
- The written reviews, not the star count. Read the boring text reviews that mention deadlines and communication. A company that’s earned 91 honest reviews has had to keep showing up.
- Whether they’ll talk price honestly. Anyone who quotes a flat rate before understanding your video is guessing. A good company explains what’s driving the number.
Run any company through those five, including us. If they dodge the script question or won’t put revisions in writing, walk.
How we make the video at Denzong Films
The boring reason founders work with us is that the writing, shooting, animation, editing and music all sit under one roof. When those are five separate vendors, the message leaks at every handoff. When they’re one team, the film keeps its spine from idea to final cut.
We work in three stages. First, we figure out who’s watching, where, and what they should do after, then lock the script with you before anyone touches a camera or a frame. This is the stage most companies rush, and the one that decides whether the video works. Second, we build it: the shoot or the animation, the voiceover, the music. We compose original scores in-house and overnight, which is how Kala Loka got its own track, not a stock loop. Third, we edit, colour, mix and polish. You react to a real cut.
Denzong Films is part of Denzong Media, so the gear, the edit suite and the people are one setup, not rented the night before. If your video sits closer to corporate territory, our corporate video production work covers that ground too.
Frequently asked questions
What is an explanation video?
An explanation video is a short film, usually under two minutes, that takes an idea your customer doesn’t understand yet and makes it clear fast. It comes in four main types: animated, live-action, whiteboard, and product. The right type depends on whether you’re explaining something invisible like software or something physical.
Which type of explanation video should I choose?
Use animation for something you can’t point a camera at, like software. Use live-action when a human face and trust matter, like a founder’s story. Use whiteboard for step-by-step teaching, and a product explainer to show the actual thing in use. A good company recommends the type based on your message, not on what they sell.
How much does an explanation video cost in Bangalore?
There’s no single price, because the work varies so much. Cost is driven by the type of video, its length, how much custom illustration or 3D it needs, whether you want original music, and your deadline. The honest move is to tell a company your goal and rough budget, then let them tell you what’s realistic.
How long does it take to make an explanation video?
A standard explanation video usually takes a few weeks from script to final cut, with most of that time going into the script and the animation or shoot. We’ve delivered finished films in 24 hours when a deadline demanded it, including work for Accel and Peak XV. Fast is possible when the brief is clear upfront.
What makes Denzong Films a good explanation video company in Bangalore?

We compose original scores overnight, we’ve shipped finished films in 24 hours, and we hold a 5.0 average across 91 Google reviews. That’s proof we’d rather you check than take on our word.
