A film your prospects finish, at a price you know on day one.

There are three ways to commission a film from us, and each one carries a single printed price. That price covers the script, every frame, the captions and the export folder. The only real decision is where you’re starting from: footage you already shot, a product that already works, or an argument that still needs drawing.

The cut sheet

Every tier, read across one line at a time

The differences live in the starting material and the amount of drawing involved — not in the things every film deserves. Captions, three ratios and two rounds of notes appear in every column, because a demo nobody can watch on mute isn’t really finished.

Turnaround counts from the day you approve the script in writing. A narrow screen will let you swipe the table sideways.

Inside each cut

What you hand over, what we make of it, what comes back

Each tier is a different kind of work, so each asks something different of you. Here is the honest version of both sides of the table — including the day-by-day calendar we hold ourselves to.

Ships in 6 working days

The Recut

For the team with four minutes of good footage and an audience with thirty seconds of patience.

$450per film

Send us the footage

You send

  • The raw material — a founder Loom, a webinar recording, a launch-week screen capture
  • The one URL you want viewers to visit
  • A sentence on who will be watching, and where

We make

  • A new script written to what’s actually on the tape
  • A re-paced edit that reaches the point inside ten seconds
  • Motion callouts, lower thirds and cleaned, levelled audio

You receive

  • A sixty-second master at 1080p
  • Square and vertical reframes where the footage holds up
  • Burned-in captions, a sidecar .srt and a poster frame

The calendar · 6 working days

Most asked-for

The Demo

For a product that is live, works well, and has a sales team tired of narrating it on every call.

$865per film

Choreograph my demo

You send

  • A staging login populated with believable data
  • Your brand kit, or the Figma link where it lives
  • The workflow your best rep demos when a deal is close

We make

  • A two-column script and shot list, approved before capture
  • A 4K capture with every cursor move rehearsed
  • Key screens rebuilt in vector, with callouts timed to the voice

You receive

  • A ninety-second master in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16
  • Captions, .srt and a poster frame that isn’t a blur
  • The vector screen layers, so a re-skin is a recut rather than a reshoot

The calendar · about 12 working days

Voiceover included

The Explainer

For a category buyers don’t yet know they need — where the why has to land before the how.

$1,400per film

Storyboard my argument

You send

  • A positioning doc or your current pitch deck
  • Palette, fonts and any illustration you already own
  • The three objections sales hears most often

We make

  • A script and a 12–18 frame storyboard, signed off before anything moves
  • Custom illustration and animation in your brand palette
  • A professional narrator’s read and a licensed score

You receive

  • A master of up to two minutes, in all three ratios
  • A six-second GIF loop for outbound email
  • Captions, .srt, poster frame and the music licence

Commission a film

Pick a cut. We’ll reply with a runtime and a total.

Choose a tier — or admit you’re undecided — and describe the product in a sentence. During studio hours we answer with a beat-by-beat runtime plan and the invoice figure, so the first call is about the film rather than the budget.

Which cut are you leaning toward?

Nothing is booked until you approve a script. The brief simply starts the conversation.

    Fifteen-second cutdown

    A paid-social edit pulled from the master, hook first and URL last, in all three ratios.

Before you commission

Where we fit, and where we’d rather send you elsewhere

A fixed price only works when the scope is honest. These are the jobs we do well, and the ones we’ll politely decline before anyone’s time is spent.

A good match

Commission us when…

  • You sell software to businesses, and the product does its most persuasive work on a screen.
  • You need one finished film, not a monthly content subscription.
  • Someone on your side can approve a script within a day or two of receiving it.
  • The film will autoplay muted somewhere — a feed, an email, a landing page — and still has to make sense.
Elsewhere, kindly

Look elsewhere when…

  • You need actors, locations or a camera crew on site. We don’t shoot live action.
  • You want a twelve-part onboarding tutorial series. That’s documentation work, and it deserves a specialist.
  • There is no product to click and no Figma file to draw from yet.
  • The brief calls for a brand anthem with drone shots and a choir.

Terms, plainly

How the paperwork goes

How is the invoice split?

Half when you approve the script in writing, half when the export folder lands. Card or ACH, invoiced from Spring, TX — whichever your finance team prefers.

Can we mix two cuts — say, a Demo with an illustrated opening?

Yes. Describe it in the brief and we price the hybrid before any work starts; it typically lands between the two tier prices, and the quote shows exactly why.

Who owns the finished film?

You do. The masters, cutdowns and vector screen layers are yours to use anywhere. Licensed music travels with its licence, which we include in the folder so nobody has to hunt for it later.

What if we change our minds after the script is approved?

Small wording shifts fit inside the two rounds of notes. A new direction after capture is a new script, and we’ll quote it as its own line before touching the timeline.

Three prices, all printed above. The only thing missing is your product.
