One workflow. One 30-second product film.

For planning, I allow up to 13 production business days for the complete package, plus your review time. This is a planning allowance, not a measured typical turnaround. Your order gives actual storyboard, animation and final dates before payment, with feedback dates and dependencies. Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding any closures listed in the order. Work starts when the inputs, payment and confirmed slot are in place. I accept a deadline only when the scope and schedule fit.

It is where I learn the product, choose the explanation and make the script, board and visual direction. Those decisions define what the animation will show. You receive work you can use on its own, and the full payment counts toward your film if you continue. The stage is a paid production step, not a consultation fee.

A product walkthrough or suitable access, current UI and brand assets, the intended audience and placement, approved claims, and one feedback owner. We agree on confidentiality, permitted AI use and source requirements before accepting the work. Please do not send passwords in an enquiry.

Yes. The workflow can use AI agents for research, drafting, asset creation and code-based animation, alongside rendering and editing tools. I direct the work, review it and remain responsible for the result.

Before work, I identify the intended services, what client materials they would process and the permissions required. Only materials approved for that workflow are used. If your restrictions cannot be met, I will say so before booking. I do not promise that third-party tools have no retention or training use without checking their actual terms and configuration.

One consolidated board refinement is included in the story stage. After approval, the complete package includes two consolidated animation revision rounds. A new workflow, replacement approved narrative or changed UI can change scope, price and dates; we agree on that before extra work. Fixing my defects does not use your revision allowance.

The custom work you pay for is yours as set out in the order, including the story materials if you stop after Stage 1. Reusable production code and licensed assets are listed separately. Editable production source files are separately scoped; native After Effects files are not included. Music and asset licenses must cover your agreed channels and paid usage. Portfolio use requires your explicit permission.

You can finish at the standalone story stage. Its US$1,750 divides into US$875 for discovery/script and US$875 for the board/styleframes with refinement. Completed agreed milestones are earned; payment for unearned or unstarted work is refunded. A partial milestone is settled only for documented, agreed usable work, up to that milestone's price. There is no automatic cancellation penalty. You receive the custom materials you have paid for. These allocations are written into your order.

The story is designed to read without a voice when your viewer watches without sound. Music and effects support it. You receive the approved on-screen narrative as text to use alongside the film; the page's text alternative should describe any important visual information as well. Narration, captions for commissioned speech, localization and other access requirements are agreed in the brief so the scope fits the audience and placement.

The film is designed to explain a specific product story. Sales and demo bookings also depend on your product, audience, placement and offer. No conversion, sales or funding result is guaranteed.
