If you are looking to start creating your OWN Animated Explainer Videos, rather than paying someone else to do it, you’ve come to the right place! Explainer videos are proven to engage audiences and increase retention. These videos are great for business commercials, startup advertisements, presentations, and even lessons for students created by teachers.

You can have little to no video production or animation knowledge to get started!

The goal is to learn the basics of how to use PowToon, advanced techniques within the program, find out about valuable royalty free resources, and finally to approach the designing of explainer animations with a more artistic eye.

I have 7 years of experience working as a freelance video producer & designer. I hope my experience, knowledge and advice can help you create explainer videos that inform & captivate your audience’s attention!
