I think you are right, maybe is time to bite the bullet and produce a good animated introductory video.  I use www.myevideo.com for my real life business. You can check examples of their work on the site. I paid 2,480.00 USD for a 2 minute video for my company and was very happy with the results.

They take care of the script, voice, animation, everything, but we approve each stage before they move to the next stage. I just set an appointment with them for Monday, will get a quote and then see if there are others willing to contribute towards this. Please check the site so you get an idea of their work.
