For animators
Animation is expensive to change once it moves, so the approvals come first. Take a share when the project is commissioned, invoice the next stage when the storyboard is approved, and put the rounds of changes in the agreement.
Approve the storyboard, then animate
Paid in stages
Send an offer with the stages and a share due now, then invoice each stage from the client’s row as it’s approved.
Assets from their own page
Clients send scripts, logos and voice-overs from their own page, and they land on their row in your app.
Questions animators ask
How do animators price a project?
By the finished second or minute, adjusted for style and detail, paid in stages: a share up front, more at storyboard, the rest on delivery.
Why do animators charge for changes after approval?
Because a change after animation can mean redoing frames. Approving the storyboard first keeps changes cheap.
What should an animation agreement say about usage?
Where the animation will be shown and for how long. Broadcast and paid ads usually cost more than a website.
What gets in the way
A client approves the storyboard and asks for changes after the animation is done.
Thirty seconds of animation takes weeks, and clients price it by the second.
Usage grows from a website video to a TV ad after delivery.
Your page on the first day
This is the design or creative setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- Before booking, your page asks: “What are we making, and by when?”
Your project agreement opens with this: Half of the project price is due up front and half on delivery. The scope is what we agreed in writing; new work is a new agreement.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no review tool for frames, no render farm and no file transfer for large masters. Deliver from your own tools.
