Is this a quote?
Not yet. It’s a ballpark so you can plan. Once we’ve talked through what you need people to understand, remember or do, we’ll confirm a fixed price.
What affects the price most?
Length and style. A longer film or a more detailed style (like 3D) means more studio time. Characters, locations and turnaround add to it too.
I have a budget, not a brief. Can you work with that?
Yes, and it’s often the best place to start. Tell us your budget and the problem you’re solving, and we’ll shape the clearest solution to fit it.
Is animation always the answer?
Not always. Sometimes film, an infographic or something interactive works better. We’ll recommend whatever gets your message across best.
