Assembly videos for DIY kits and model kits
Wooden mechanical models, dollhouses, 3D printer kits, electronics and craft kits: the build is the product. We turn your instruction booklet into a film that keeps builders moving.
In short
Kit builders want to do it themselves, and they value what they build: research on the IKEA effect found people value products they assemble more, but that extra value disappears when they fail to finish. A short film of the tricky steps keeps them finishing.
Where kit builders get stuck
- Mirror-image parts and near-identical pieces
- Parts that must be fitted in a strict order
- Moving mechanisms that need clearance or a light touch
- Gluing and drying times that the booklet mentions once
Many kits, one look
Kit makers often have dozens of models. One style across all films makes them feel like part of the product. Packs from 5 films for $795 ($159 a film) down to $135 a film at 50 films.
