Work I take on
Short films that explain things, and the motion pieces around them. Every job is quoted in days, with a from price you can plan with.
Four kinds of job, each drawn in the same day cells as the diary, so you can see how much of a month it fills.
Explainer films
A 60 to 120 second film that explains one product, service or change: script polish, storyboard, design frames, animation and a sound mix with licensed music.
12 to 15 days
From $6,200
Brand motion
A logo sting, a set of animated icons and a short motion guide, so everyone who animates your brand moves it the same way.
4 to 8 days
From $2,100
Storyboards and animatics
For agencies and in-house teams who animate themselves: boards drawn from your script and timed to the voice-over.
3 to 5 days
From $1,500
Title sequences and event loops
Openers, stings and screen loops for conferences, exhibitions and video channels, delivered in the sizes the venue needs.
5 to 10 days
From $2,600
Usual daysDays a longer version adds
Lengths and prices for a typical job (Example prices). Every quote is in days first.
What I turn down
Saying no early saves us both a call. These are the jobs I do not take on, whatever the budget.
- Gambling, crypto trading and payday loans
- Political campaigns and lobbying films
- Unpaid pitches and spec work
- Jobs that must start within three working days
- Films that copy another studio's style frame by frame
