Commercials, corporate films, animation, motion graphics and showreels. If it is shot, animated or cut, it is probably something we do — and if it is not, we will say so and point you at someone who does.

A motion graphics piece is usually two to three weeks. A shot commercial runs four to eight, depending on casting and locations. We give you a dated schedule before anything starts, and we tell you early if it is going to move.

It depends on crew, cast, locations and how many deliverables come out of one shoot. We quote a fixed price against an agreed scope rather than a day rate, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Yes, and it usually makes the work better. Bring a script, a rough treatment or a single sentence — we will tell you honestly which parts are working before we start production on any of it.

Two, on every project, and they are real rounds rather than a formality. Beyond that we bill by the hour, which almost never happens once the storyboard has been signed off.
