  • How do you typically price your projects? / What is the cost range for your services?

    Each project is custom quoted because every project is unique. We work with your expectations to tailor a precise quote that fully reflects your specific needs, as we believe tiered packages don't offer a rounded view of each project.

  • Do you offer different package tiers, or is every project custom quoted?

    We believe each project should be custom quoted because every project is unique. We work with you and your expectations to tailor that quote, as tiered packages don't give a rounded view of each project.


  • Are there any hidden costs or additional fees I should be aware of?

  • What information do you need from me to get started on a project brief?

  • How do you handle revisions and feedback during the editing and animation process?

    We set out goalposts and checkpoints throughout the process, keeping you thoroughly involved. This allows us to action feedback and your requests as we move through the project, including animation approvals and visual refinements. We also discuss rounds of feedback at the project's outset.

  • What are the deliverables? (e.g., file formats, resolution, platforms for distribution)

    We export and deliver work to the specific requirements of each project, or to the necessary high-spec or optimized deliverables. This could be a ProRes film for television, an optimized MP4 for web view, or specific animation file formats.
