What you always get

Included in every finish.

The storyboard, free

Structure, every shot, every card, as a page and a downloadable PDF, before any payment.

Approval before motion

You see every still and approve it. Retakes on the way to approval are on us, not counted as revisions.

Your people, their real faces

Three photos of a person and they are in the film. If the likeness misses, send more photos and their shots are repainted free.

The real-cost comparison

Every quote and every finished film shows what a conventional shoot of the same film would have cost, itemised.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I pay before I see anything?
No. You get the director’s questions, the full storyboard and three quotes for free. Payment comes after you have read the film on paper.
What is a revision?
A change to the finished film: you say what should be different, the director reworks the shots your notes touch and the film is recut. Shots you don’t mention stay exactly as they were.
What if a face doesn’t look like the person?
Add at least three more photos of them and only their shots are repainted. That is free, always.
How long does it take?
The storyboard takes a few minutes. After you approve the stills, most films are finished within an hour. Long films with singing shots take longer.
Can I use the film commercially?
Yes. The film is yours, with a commercial-use certificate on request. You are responsible for having the rights to any music and any faces you upload.
Do you offer this under my own brand?
Yes — see white label.
