Full Animation Service
Full Animation Service
We have the expertise to create with you high-quality animations, from the very early stages by materializing the story and visual concepts, bringing the characters to life in the animation stage (including the voice casting and recording), until the final touches are added with the magic of editing and your material prepared to be shown to the world.
If you want to produce a full project, you'll not only rely on the team's technical animation abilities but also gain access to all our creative potential.

Mar reviews your enquiry and we have a call or chat to discuss the goals and features of your project. Are we a good fit?!
Expect lots of questions here. We need to make sure we deliver the best product you can possibly imagine.
You can then hire us to start Step 1, which is creating the storyboard (if not done already).
At this stage, you can also book us for Step 2, to ensure we'll be available to craft the final animation right after finishing Step 1.
The booking fee is part of the expected Step 2's price, not an extra payment!
Step 1: Storyboard + Adjusted proposal
Step 1: Storyboard + Adjusted proposal
Storyboard
Storyboard
We craft a (script and) storyboard based on your ideas. This stage is the most important and will set the tone for the following steps.
Adjust Proposal
Adjust Proposal
Together with the storyboard, a quote with suggestions is presented: "animating this project will take this much time and this much budget". With that information, we use revision time by adding elements or simplifying what's necessary until we are satisfied with what's to be created.
Solidifying the proposal during the storyboard stage makes it fair to both sides: clients pay for exactly what they need, and the team is rewarded for the work done.
After the proposal is adjusted, we land on two possibilities:
Finish the contract after Step 1, not opting for the full commission. You keep the storyboard to be used elsewhere.
Proceed to Step 2, where our team animates the storyboard.

Polishing Pre-Production
Once everything is clear and we have received your content (song, logos, prior designs, lyrics... it depends!), we start working! We'll present the designs and relevant tests so you can approve things before we animate.
Production and Post-Production
Production and Post-Production
The team animates, creates background, records necessary audio, and finally composits to put it all together into the final video.
This step includes review points at key stages to ensure that everything follows the vision.
Delivery (and extras!)
Delivery (and extras!)
After lots of patience and love, the animated video is ready! Is this what you wanted? You'll see the "final" watermarked version first, giving us a margin for revisions if needed.
After the final payment, we'll deliver all final files (with changes added and watermark-free), plus other bonuses you may have requested, such as thumbnails for YouTube, stills for social media, and others.
Deliverables included in Step 2
Deliverables included in Step 2
File for the main distributing platform (Example: FHD 1920x1080 .mp4).
Static background art and design images in HQ PNG format
Xh for revisions (changes requested by client).
Revisions happen at specific points in the project to promote efficiency, such as the Script, Storyboard, Design, and pre-final video. This does not consider actual mistakes, which are our responsibility to fix.
Value-up Additions
Value-up Additions
Highest resolution exported images
Because of the camera movements and video export format, screenshots taken from the video will not show the full scene nor be at the highest quality. However, these “value-up”images are taken from the compositing video software and show the full picture of the scene.Video editable file, usually in Premiere Pro or After Effects.
Customized thumbnails, wallpapers or other illustrations for promotional materials.
Add easter eggs such as characters inspired by your fans
Multiple format adaptations: Extra renders so the video is fit for different online platforms
On-screen subtitles in different languages (Japanese included!)
Cross-marketing on our social media accounts about your project/music
IP and royalty negotiation
