Is the pricing on a per second basis?

How much do we charge for a video if you provide us with the script?

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.

What are the terms of payment?

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.

Do we provide discounts?

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.
