How we price a project, and what drives the number.

Pricing

No two projects cost the same, and that's by design. Here's how the process breaks down, and the range you should expect.

Three stages, three approvals

Every production breaks into three stages, and you approve the creative direction at each one before we move forward:

  1. Script, Storyboard & Design
  2. Audio Track
  3. Picture Track

Your price is set upfront, not guessed at after the fact. You still see and sign off on the direction at each stage before the next one begins, so there are no surprises in the finished piece.

What affects your price

What you spend depends on the choices made within each stage. Audio can range from AI-assisted voice generation to professional talent recorded in studio. The picture track can be built from hand-drawn animation, talking avatars, motion capture, or a mix. Backgrounds can be fully hand-painted by a digital artist or generated with AI, seeded from an artist's original work. Every option pairs human creative direction with the right tool for your story and your budget.

What to expect

$1200–$6,000 per finished minute

That's a general guide, and the final number depends on the complexity of all three stages combined. Most nonprofit and small business projects land well within that range, not at the top of it.
