Scribble Video – What's behind it?
The Scribble video is one of the most popular explainer video styles. It is comparable to the Whiteboard video. The main difference lies in the way graphics appear in the video. While in the Whiteboard video, illustrations come from nowhere into the picture or are pushed into the picture by means of an animated hand, the graphics in the Scribble video are drawn quasi live.

The basis for this is a white background on which graphics are gradually drawn to fill the image. The graphics are usually black and white, but they can also have isolated color accents.
How does the Scribble Video work?
The Scribble video works with a kind of illusion and uses an increased animation speed. In addition to the graphics that build up, a live-action hand holding a pen is animated with increased speed, creating the impression that the graphics appearing are drawn in real time. In addition, there is also the option of filming actual live drawings and playing them back later at increased speed.
Real footage hands: Animated with increased speed.
This results in the following sequence of the Scribble Video Animation:
- Graphics appear analogous to the animation of the video hand.
- The video hand is animated at high speed parallel to the graphic.
