Why University Needs Explainer Video

In the University sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Explainer Video delivers measurable results that transform how university professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for University

University video production serves three competing institutional priorities: student recruitment (the revenue driver), research promotion (the prestige driver), and alumni engagement (the fundraising driver). Recruitment videos must feel authentic to a Gen-Z audience that rejects polished institutional messaging — student-generated content, day-in-the-life vlogs, and candid campus footage outperform scripted promotional films. Research communication requires a different register entirely: explaining complex academic work to funding bodies, media, and the public through animated summaries and laboratory documentaries. The production volume is significant — a mid-sized university may need 50-100 videos per year across faculties, departments, and central communications. International recruitment adds multilingual requirements, with English, Chinese, and Arabic being the most requested language versions. Annual video budgets for French universities range from 20,000 to 150,000 euros, with Parcoursup application season (January-March) and international recruitment fairs driving the content calendar.

Video Challenges in University

Engaging the Digital-Native Learner

Education faces a fundamental shift: students now expect video-first learning experiences. 65% of people are visual learners, and video-based courses see 25% higher completion rates. Yet producing quality educational content at scale — across subjects, levels, and languages — remains a significant challenge for institutions.

Universities compete for students through campus tour videos and program showcases. E-learning platforms need engaging tutorials that maintain attention. Corporate training requires compliance-tracked modules that employees actually watch. Each context demands different production approaches.

What Makes Explainer Video Unique

Explainer video breaks down a complex product, service, or concept into a clear 60-120 second narrative that any audience can understand. We combine scripted voiceover with motion graphics, screen recordings, or live-action footage to walk viewers through the problem, the solution, and the next step. The script follows a proven structure: hook (5 seconds), problem (15 seconds), solution (30 seconds), how it works (30 seconds), call to action (10 seconds). Production takes 2-3 weeks including script writing, storyboarding, animation or filming, and voiceover recording. This is distinct from tutorial video — explainers sell an idea, tutorials teach a skill.
