TVC production
Quoted to scope
Concept, crew, talent, usage rights and post, scoped around your channels.
Explore TVC productioni
How TVC pricing works
- Built to brief: every TVC is quoted around your concept, channels and media plan.
- What shapes the cost: scripting, crew size, shoot days, locations or set builds, and casting.
- Usage rights: talent and music licences depend on where and how long the ad runs, across TV, online and cinema.
- Deliverables: cut lengths, aspect ratios and broadcast-ready masters, all itemised in your quote.
- Airtime not included: national TV distribution and station fees are not part of our quote. We can connect you with a media partner, but booking and managing distribution sits with you.
Animation
Quoted to scope
From clean 2D explainers to full 3D builds, priced to style and length.
Explore animationi
How animation pricing works
- 2D vs 3D: 3D sits at a completely different price point to 2D. 3D pricing also depends on whether models are supplied or built from scratch.
- Length: every extra second adds design and animation work, so runtime is a key driver.
- No surprises: script, storyboard and style frames are signed off before full animation begins.
- Extras: voiceover, music and sound design are scoped and itemised in your quote.
AI video
from $2,000
Based on an allocated number of AI generations per project. More complex creative needs more generations, so pricing scales with it.
Explore AI videoi
How AI video pricing works
- From $2,000: includes up to 150 AI video generations, plus concept, edit, sound and delivery.
- Why generations matter: each scene takes several attempts to get right. Stylised scenes need fewer. Photoreal people, products and complex motion need more.
- Need more? Extra generations come in blocks of 100, from $500 each. We confirm them with you before going ahead.
- Honest advice: if a live shoot would do the job better or cheaper, we will tell you.

FAQs
Pricing questions, answered
The things buyers usually ask before they get in touch.
Why do you give starting prices rather than fixed prices?
Because every brief is different. Two case studies can differ by shoot days, interviewees, locations and deliverables. We give you an honest starting point, then a tailored quote once we understand your scope, so you never pay for more than you need.
Is the quote builder estimate a quote?
No. It is a guide to help you plan. Send it through and we reply within 24 hours with an itemised quote, confirmed in writing before anything starts.
What is included in the starting price?
A half-day production (or a 4-hour package for events), the core crew and equipment, and one finished film. If your project needs a full shoot day, more deliverables, faster turnaround or creative development, we quote that once we understand your scope.
How many revisions are included?
Revisions are built into our process. The number of rounds depends on your package, and we work with you until the video meets the brief.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A deposit secures your project and covers pre-production. The exact percentage is in your proposal, and the remainder is due on completion.
Who owns the finished video?
You do. You own the final video outright, with usage rights included in your package and no ongoing licensing fees.
