Yes, it is on a per second basis. We suggest you keep the duration as short as possible for an explainer video. An ideal duration would be60 to 90 seconds unless a longer duration is necessary.
Got your own script? Great!
Our Creative Director will go through the script you would be sharing with us and gauge the effort required for the video. We will get back to you with the cost based on the complexity of the script.
We will start the project after an advance payment of 50% is made, and the remaining after the final delivery.
If you require a milestone based payment, get in touch with our Account Managers and we can help you out.
We give discounts on the basis of thenumber of videos in a project and on the basis of the duration.
If you have a series of videos we can give discounts based on the number of reusable assets. For example, if you plan to use the same character illustrations for multiple videos then it makes sense to give a discount as there is less effort from our part.
The longer the duration of the videos, the lesser will be the cost per second of the video.

It depends on the type of video you require.
A whiteboard video will require2 to 3 weeks for execution whereas a2D video will require3 to 4 weeks for execution.
