3. Stories don’t support gambling, smoking, drugs, homophobia, racism, or war.
4. We push into developing environmentally-friendly creative processes. We are conscious of our business decisions.
5. High importance on publishing content that meets deadlines and set expectations.
Customer Stories
"(Mar) is an excellent worker and artist, she takes care of the project needs while respecting moral and artistic values."
Nacho Sotelo, Co-producer of Daniel, Me Estás Matando
The final video is now offline, but you can still read about their request and how it all developed:
Music video example commission
1
We make a video call or chat and discuss the goals and features of your music video. Are we a good fit?!
Expect lots of questions here. We need to make sure we deliver the BEST product you can possibly imagine.
2
We settle an agreement to make clear all relevant expectations: deadlines, what will the studio provide, when and how revisions work, payment method, details that "must happen" in the script, message and feeling the animation needs to communicate, etc. This is all extremely customizable on your project.
3
Once everything is clear and we received all content from you (song, lyrics...), we start working on preproduction. We'll present a script, including concept art of the visuals we have in mind.
4
When the script is clear, you'll set the final character/style designs and the drafted animated storyboard. That is how you can actually see the characters in motion with the timing of your special song.
5
After lots of patience and love, the animated video is ready! Is this what you wanted? A few days before the delivery date you'll see the "final" version. This will give us margin for revisions if needed.
6
After the second (and final) payment, we'll give you the final files, watermark free, and bonuses you may have requested such as thumbnail for YouTube, stills for social media, and others.
