While working on video content projects, our team often receives questions from business owners, marketers, and startup founders relating to the content creation process. Our clients are usually interested in a wide variety of topics, from project specifics to white-label collaboration and pricing factors.
To provide concise and clear answers to these questions, we’ve prepared this FAQ about Zelios and will continue to update it over time as new questions come up. Hopefully, this should provide you with a go-to destination to find answers.
Do you specialize in SaaS?
Many of our clients are B2B SaaS companies. Based on this, we are experienced in creating videos that drive user activation and adoption, support conversions, and promote successful product launches and onboarding.
However, our expertise isn’t limited only to this segment. Tech companies, AI-native products, and complex platforms all also rely on our ability to combine creative storytelling with business marketing goals.
Who is Zelios agency best suited for?
We work with AI-native products, B2B SaaS, and mid-sized to enterprise level tech businesses that are looking to grow faster through clarity, conversion, and data-driven strategies.
Do you only create animated videos?
A common question about Zelios is whether we focus exclusively on animation. While we love creating animated explainer videos, we can also produce stunning live-action content if needed; often, we will also blend the two to maximize business impact for our customers.
Can you work with an incomplete or evolving UI?
Yes. We often work with products that are still in the early launch phase, and we understand that these evolve rapidly in terms of functionality and visual design. That’s why we use a combination of text, mockups, process prototypes, and final and temporary animation design elements.
The specific product’s needs and characteristics determine what methods we use. These measures are necessary to make the product more visually appealing and help it stand out in its specific market.
What makes Zelios different from other agencies?
Most agencies hand you a file at the end and call it quits. At Zelios, that’s where we’re just getting started!
Every engagement begins with your marketing objectives — what a prospect needs to see in order to convert; what a new user needs to watch to activate; what a lead needs to book a call. Then, we build the video assets to cover each focus.
Our team mixes growth strategy and execution to get real business results, not just checkboxes on a list.
How does Zelios compare to freelancers or other video production companies?
Freelancers deliver execution alone, whereas we are proud to offer strategy and execution in multiple formats and funnel stages that are distribution-ready.
Zelios sits comfortably in that sweet spot between hiring a solo freelance videographer and working with a large production company. You get the strategic expertise and high-quality equipment of a top-tier video production house without the excessive overhead fees.
How can I be involved in the video production process?
You can be involved as much or as little as you’d like! We’ll need your team for a brief kickoff call and to provide feedback for key milestones, such as the script, storyboard, and animation stages. In this way, you can stay in control without spending unnecessary time on production.
You’ll have clear touchpoints at every stage: goal alignment, script reviews, storyboard approval, and final delivery. You’ll stay in control without having to micromanage the day-to-day details.
Do you provide voiceover and scriptwriting services?
Yes. Every video we produce includes professional scriptwriting and voiceover as part of the process — not as add-ons. We source voice talent who are native speakers and match them to your brand’s tone, and our scripts are written to convert, not just to describe your service.
Can you translate videos into other languages?
Yes! In fact, many clients have asked this question, which is why we added it here to our Zelios FAQs. From the outset, we’ll clarify whether you intend to use the media internationally. First, we’ll translate the script into your chosen language and provide you with voice-over samples. Then, we’ll retime the video to perfectly match the intended pacing of the script. This is perfect for brands with international audiences.
I need an explainer video for my client. Can I partner with you?
Sure. We regularly work with agencies and independent producers looking to expand their video capabilities. Our white-label animation services are fully confidential — you present the work as your own, and your client relationship stays intact.
Do you outsource your work?
We have a great in-house team, and our core skill set is storytelling. As such, we dedicate part of our time to educating our illustrators and animators on how to improve quality and efficiency, allowing us to usually work fully in-house. However, for some projects, we work with external professionals for translations and voice-overs; this allows us to ensure the quality of our videos.
Do you have experience with complex B2B industries?
Yes! Tech companies, AI-native products, and complex platforms all depend on our ability to combine creative storytelling with the marketing needs of businesses and strategists.
Our multifaceted approach to video marketing allows us to address the unique requirements of industries within the corporate, B2B, and SaaS sectors. That’s a key part of how our teams at Zelios specialize in turning highly technical concepts into clear, engaging stories and simplifying our clients’ value propositions.
Do you have experience working with mid-sized and enterprise-level clients?
Yes! We’ve produced marketing video campaigns for brands that are backed by Google, Microsoft, and Y Combinator. Our process scales seamlessly to match the complexity, approval layers, and brand standards that larger organizations require.
Do you provide support after the video is completed?
Yes! We don’t just disappear after project delivery. So, if you need updates, format variations, or new cutdowns as your product evolves, we’re here. Most of our clients work with us on an ongoing basis — which is why nearly 90% return after their first project for follow-up projects.
What countries do you cover?
Zelios produces videos for clients all over the United States, which is our core market. However, we also work with customers worldwide, and we have completed projects spanning multiple countries. You can view some of these videos in our portfolio.
What budget options does Zelios offer for video production?
Our pricing tiers are designed to accommodate projects of various scopes, ranging from short explainer videos to high-end cinematic marketing video series. Plus, no matter the project or budget, we never compromise on quality.

What impacts the final video cost?
Several factors can affect the final price, such as:
- video length
- animation style (simple motion graphics vs. complex 3D)
- number of revision rounds
- voiceover language and talent
- turnaround times
- and whether scripting or strategy work is included.
We can walk through all of this during the estimate phase so there are no surprises!
Do you work with a white-label approach?
Yes, we can offer white-label video production services. Our team operates as an invisible extension of yours, producing high-quality content that you can customize with your brand and deliver as your own.
Can I get an online consultation?
We understand that choosing to order a video is not always an easy decision. If you’re considering it, a discovery call could be a helpful step.
What do you need to kickstart my video?
Not much. We need a basic product overview, your target audience, the video goal, and any brand assets. No brief? No problem — we’ll cover it in a short discovery call.
Are you a full-service video production company?
Yes. To achieve high engagement, it’s essential that every element of the video production process is aligned and perfected, encompassing the concept/script, visual design, film, animation, and sound design. We oversee the entire process from start to finish, so you won’t have to worry about juggling multiple teams.
What if I only need one video?
No problem! We’ll treat your video with the same strategic approach as any larger engagement, making sure it’s built to perform, not just to exist.
What if I don’t know exactly what type of video I need?
If you’re not sure what you want, feel free to get in touch with our experts for help thinking through your project. You can ask questions directly to our team from our contact page.
