I’m the publishing manager of a company that creates and publishes illustrated children’s books and educational content focused on inspiring creativity and teamwork in young readers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We needed them to turn our storybook characters into a fun 3D animated teaser to help promote our new children’s book series.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Explendid Videos handled the whole 3D animation process for our book teaser, from visual storyboards to final video edits. Their main deliverables were the initial character modeling, scene animations, voiceover syncing, and a fully polished promo video ready for web use. The team focused strictly on the animation and video production — we provided the script, voiceover track, and background music, while they brought the visuals and timing together to match our audio.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Explendid Videos.

How did you come to work with Explendid Videos?

We found them through an online search. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget and they offered good value for the cost.

We spent around $13,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from August–October 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The 3D animated teaser drove a noticeable bump in our audience engagement right after release. Social media interactions jumped by around 35%, and our book pre-orders rose significantly during the launch window. We saw about 150–200 extra pre-orders right after we started sharing the teaser video. For a small publishing project like ours, seeing that kind of direct bump in actual readers was a huge win.

It was definitely strongest right after the release, which we expected, but it gave us a nice lasting boost, too. The initial wave carried through the first 3–4 weeks of launch, and even after that, having that animated video pinned on our main page kept bringing in steady clicks and interest from new visitors. Overall, the video gave us a polished asset that helped turn quick views into active interest.

How did Explendid Videos perform from a project management standpoint?

Explendid Videos’ project management was smooth and reliable. They kept us in the loop at every stage, hit all our agreed milestones, and delivered the final 3D teaser right on schedule. Whenever we needed a quick adjustment or had a question, their response time was quick and professional. We communicated via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Explendid Videos’ ability to capture the charm of our children’s book characters and translate them into 3D seamlessly was impressive, all while keeping communication effortless.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, everything ran smoothly.
