FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
How it works: 1. We define the project: So you have an idea for something that would best be shown through the magic of animation. Whether it’s a cute character for a marketing video or film, a new invention or process that will revolutionize an industry, a medical or dental procedure, a beautiful interior design or awesome work of architecture, or even how to repair or replace plumbing with minimal destruction, the first step is to define the project together. So that we, i.e. you with the great idea, and us the animators, are on the same page. This part can include conversations, sketches, concept outlines, reference info and images and a script and storyboard, if needed. 2. Provide the estimate: Once we both understand what is needed a detailed estimate can be prepared based on what needs to be designed, created, animated and edited for a final completed project. With an agreed upon estimate we can proceed. 3. Production: This is the “getting down to work,” part which can take hours or weeks depending on the project. 4. Completion: The goal is an awesome project that meets your needs.

How long do you want the animation to be? What budget do you have in mind for the project?In what time frame should/must it be completed?
