Videos that make complex concepts clear

What we make

More than whiteboard animation. A visual experience built around your brand.

We take the format beyond the expected. We architect a custom visual system, distinct creative voice, and intentional motion design — resulting in work that stands apart and keeps people watching.

Product explainers

A clear story that quickly shows people what you offer, why it matters, and how it can help them.

Concept & process animation

Invisible mechanisms made visible: data flows, clinical processes, funding models, workflows.

Patient & customer education

Clear, thoughtful content that makes critical information easier to understand, remember, and act on.

Now screening

Selected explainer work

Trusted by Overalls

A whole new category, explained

Overalls was introducing something a new service most people had never thought of. So we created an explainer that playfully introduced the category, made the service tangible, and set their launch up for success.

Handshake was amazing! We came along with a specific vision of what we wanted to create and they fleshed it out and really delivered above and beyond what we expected. They were also able to roll with the punches when we needed to make tweaks or changes. Highly recommend them!

How we work

A clear path from script to screen

A thoughtful process that keeps each step clear, collaborative, and moving forward — so the final piece shines.

Message & script

The core idea, the key messages you want to communicate, and the story that brings them together in a way that resonates with your audience.

Storyboard & design

Design architecture, boards, and style frames built from your brand’s visual system, approved before animation starts.

Animation & delivery

Final animation, voiceover and sound, captions, plus any social excerpts you might need.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked before the first call.

It really depends on runtime and animation complexity more than anything else. We scope every project individually and give you a detailed estimate before work starts.

Typically 6–10 weeks. The timeline is shaped by the scripting, storyboarding, and review process, with clear alignment at each stage helping the project move smoothly from concept through animation.

Most land between 60 and 120 seconds. Longer is occasionally right for clinical or technical audiences who genuinely want the detail, but we make a recommendation on a per-subject basis.

Either/or! We can write it, working from your positioning and interviews with your team, or if you have a script already we will happily start there.
