Hand-Drawn Videos
why hand-drawn videos?
Videos inspired by visual notes
Our hand-drawn (visual note-style) videos are animated or live-drawn stories that explain an idea, product, or mission in a way that’s easy to follow and remember.
Ink Factory provides custom video production for organizations that need to explain a complex process, launch a product, or tell their story in a format built for sharing.
We make it easy

Who Uses Our videos?
Because our videos are drawn in the same style as our visual notes, they’re especially good at showing how ideas connect—making them a natural fit for explaining complexity.
Marketing Teams
Complex value propositions are hard to explain and even harder to make memorable. Hand-drawn video breaks down what makes your product or service different, while giving your brand a distinct look that no stock animation or template can replicate.
What you get: A scroll-stopping asset that clarifies your value proposition and makes your brand impossible to confuse with anyone else’s
Nonprofits
Hand-drawn video helps nonprofits explain complex programs in a way that’s easy to follow, sparking genuine interest and generating the kind of buzz that grows support.
What you get: A shareable video that makes your mission clear—and makes people want to learn more
Internal Communications
Rolling out a major initiative across departments, regions, or business units is hard when everyone’s starting from a different place. Hand-drawn video connects the dots—clarifying the “why” behind big changes and getting teams aligned around a shared understanding.
What you get: A video asset that drives real buy-in

Videos: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does creating a video take?
A standard one to three-minute video takes anywhere from 5-8 weeks, depending on the script and visual style, as well as when your team is available to meet for feedback during the production process.
What do our videos cost?
We have a range of options to serve different budgets. Since there are so many factors that go into creating one of our videos, we like to discuss your vision over the phone before we create a custom quote for your video.
What are my responsibilities?
You’ll need a small team of no more than three people who are available to give feedback and final approval on production milestones. After you hand off your content or a rough script, our team can handle the entire production process, from script refinement to voice-over recording.
