Before we roll.

What is included in the base package?

A motion treatment of one supplied cover or artwork, approved promotional text and call to action, up to 30 seconds of edited video, 4K MP4 export, and one minor revision. The exact motion approach depends on the artwork and is agreed in your brief.

What counts as a minor revision?

A small text correction, timing adjustment, or similar refinement within the approved concept. New artwork, a different concept, additional scenes, or regenerating substantial animation requires a separate quote.

Can you create a full cinematic trailer?

Yes. Multi-scene trailers, original artwork, character performance, and longer productions are quoted individually. Share your idea before ordering a base package.

How long will my project take?

We confirm the schedule after reviewing your artwork, brief, and current availability. Please mention any release date or deadline in your first message.

What materials should I provide?

Your highest-resolution cover or artwork, exact title and author or creator credit, approved promotional text, call to action, and destination URL. Layered artwork is helpful when available. You must have permission to use all submitted materials.

How are the videos made?

We use a hybrid workflow that may include AI-assisted animation, compositing, and conventional video editing. The treatment is tailored to your artwork. Music, sound effects, and voiceover are optional and quoted separately.
