What live action elements we can include
| Element | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Client-supplied footage | A talking head, a product demo or testimonials you have already recorded. |
| Licensed stock footage | Live video licensed for commercial use, where filming is not practical. |
| Remote recordings | Interviews or voice over recorded remotely and synced to your visuals. |
We handle the editing, compositing and animation around the live footage, so the finished video feels cohesive rather than assembled.
What our clients say
We have localized over 1,500 projects and produced 1,000+ videos. Let's make something special for you too!
It’s an A+ company for animation! Certain types of animation are outside of the scope of what we can do in-house, and Alconost bridges that gap. The entire team at Alconost was fantastic and made the entire process of creating a custom animation extremely easy. I can't wait to hire them again!
Alconost helped us create an explainer video for the Jitsu platform. We know nothing about how to make promo videos. Alconost made the promotional explainer video for us pretty fast. The quality of the final product was outstanding!
Alconost produced animation for two 30-second video ads about our data collaboration platform called Observable. The Alconost team responded to all our requests in a timely way, and they created assets that align with our needs. They’re professional and stay on schedule. They delivered great video production services. Highly recommend.
We needed a video to use on our website to help educate our target audience on exactly what problems we solve and how we can help them. Alconost helped us to create our animated explainer video. We’re very happy with the final video, and it’s very reasonably priced for the quality!
The task was to create several promotional videos for our Match-3 game’s advertising campaign. It was easy to work with the Alconost video production team, we had no problems. Since they asked for our approval at every production stage, the edits to the final videos were minimal, and we got quality promo videos.
We got a great video clip for our mobile application. We want to use it on the website and in app descriptions on Google play and App Store. It is the best company for creating a video clip for your product! What we like best about them is quality, responsible manager, and timeliness.
We’ve worked with Alconost for many years now. The fact that we can go to the same company to translate a website, an interface, or technical documentation, create a video clip, or record a voice-over isn’t just convenient — it’s extremely convenient.
Alconost covers many languages in terms of translation and dubbing, and has a wide variety of narrators. They are very trustworthy and diligent. Quick response in everything, high quality content, and they’re people who’re very reliable to work with!
Stage 1: Select live video production services
Start by choosing how your business videos will be filmed. You can choose one or several of the options below!
On-site filming
We arrange filming on the location you need, including filming equipment rentals and casting.
Assistance for shooting your own video
We give you hints on how to record a decent video on your own: what to wear, what to say, etc.
Existing footage treatment
We work with your existing footage or select royalty-free stock videos to support your story.
Stage 2: What happens next
Once the live action footage is ready, we convert workpieces into a finished business video by doing the following:
Post-production
Editing, effects, and color correction of the existing live footage.
Animated elements
Transitions, captions & titles; inserts with 2D and 3D animation.
Voiceover recording
Native-speaking voiceover in 20+ languages with time sync.
Sound design
Background music selection & cut, sound effects.
Case study: Ecwid by Lightspeed
We have produced six live action videos for Ecwid by Lightspeed, split evenly between two of the options above.
For three of them — an explainer, a promo ad and a testimonial video built from user-generated clips — Ecwid supplied the footage and we handled the editing and post-production, animated effects and sound design. For the other three, filmed with the Lovely Roses Boutique merchant, we also did the on-site shooting.
All six are in the gallery above.

Related services
Animated videos
Animated video production services is our key specialization. We make business videos eye-catching even when there’re no talking heads in the frame!
Video localization
Video localization is a solution for businesses that go global. Speak to your audiences from new countries in their native language!
Explanatory videos
Explainer video production doesn't necessarily require filming. An explainer video elaborates on your product’s value with animated graphics.
Promotional videos
Advertising videos usually last for 5-15 seconds and address specific segments of your target audience. That’s why video ads are often ordered as a series.
FAQ
What is a live action video and how is it different from animation?
A live action video features real footage of people or locations, unlike animated videos which are fully digital. At Alconost Video, we specialize in animated videos with live action inserts — a hybrid format that adds a human touch while keeping things visually dynamic and brand-consistent.
What types of live action elements can you include?
We can include:
- Client-supplied footage (talking head, product demo, testimonials)
- Stock live video licensed for commercial use
- Remotely recorded interviews or voice over synced to visuals
We handle editing, compositing, and animation around the live footage to make it feel cohesive and polished.
Where can I use these hybrid videos?
These videos are great for websites, landing pages, social media, pitch decks, and onboarding flows — especially when you want the credibility of real people mixed with the clarity and creativity of animation.
Can you help with filming or do I need to provide the footage?
We usually work with client-supplied footage or help guide you on how to record usable clips remotely. In some cases, we may coordinate filming through our global partner network, but this is not our core offering.
How much does a live action video cost?
It depends mainly on how the footage is produced. Working from footage you supply, or treating footage you already have, costs less than arranging filming on site, since filming brings crew, location and equipment into the budget. The three options above sit at different price points, so tell us which suits your project and we will give you a figure.
Can you localize the video into other languages?
Yes — multimedia localization is our thing. We support voice over, subtitling, and on-screen text localization in 120+ languages. Whether your footage is in English or another language, we’ll make sure the whole video is region-ready.
How long does a hybrid video take to produce?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the animation and the availability of your live footage. We’ll provide a clear timeline upfront.
What’s the best way to get started?
Just contact us with your project idea and any footage you already have. We’ll help shape a video concept that blends animation and live action in a way that fits your brand and message.
