Quick answer: This is the Talking head video Motion Graphix produced for Granola, Granola, an AI notepad that listens to meetings and turns rough notes into a clean summary. It runs 43 seconds (0:43) in presenter on camera with product UI overlays and is written for founders, product managers and anyone who runs back-to-back meetings. Watch it above; below is what the video had to do, how this format is built, and what it costs to make one like it.
What the video had to do
Granola’s buyers are founders, product managers and anyone who runs back-to-back meetings. A video for that audience has one job: make a first-time viewer understand what Granola does and why it is worth a closer look before they scroll on. The structure follows the pattern that works for software: open on a problem the viewer recognises, show the product doing the work on screen, close on the outcome and a single next step. At 43 seconds it is short enough for a homepage hero, a LinkedIn post and a paid social placement without re-cutting.
How this format is built
- Format: Talking head, presenter on camera with product UI overlays.
- Runtime: 43 seconds (0:43).
- Standard package for this format: 4K master in 16:9, plus 9:16 and 1:1 cutdowns, two to three 15 to 30 second ad clips, a custom thumbnail, professional human voice-over, licensed music and the source files.
- Service: talking head videos. Industry: ai.
What to borrow for your own video
- Keep the presenter on screen for the first and last ten seconds; overlays go in the middle, where the explanation needs them.
- Write the script for speech: short sentences, one idea each, no sub-clauses the presenter has to breathe through.
- Add captions by default; most of this format is watched muted in a feed.

Before any payment we produce a free 10 to 15 second sample on your own interface, so you can judge style and communication on your product rather than on someone else’s. More examples are on the portfolio.
Quick questions
How long does a video like this take to produce?
Our standard cycle for a video of this length is 10 to 15 working days from signed brief to final files. Script, storyboard, animation and voice-over are each approved before the next stage starts, and the client needs about 50 minutes in total to review drafts.
What does a talking head video like this cost?
$1,450 per video at Motion Graphix, everything included. Bundles of several videos bring the per-video price down, and multi-video retainers start lower again; the pricing page lists the exact numbers.
Can I get the same video in vertical and square formats?
Yes. Every project ships with 9:16 and 1:1 versions and two to three short ad clips cut from the master, so one production covers the website, LinkedIn, paid social and app store placements.
