FAQs

  • What information do you need during the briefing?

    One essential thing I need is the final script as that's where I will base the storyboard. The more details you share about your story, target audience, and desired style, the better I can tailor the animation to your vision. Think about the message you want to convey, tone, and any stylistic preferences.

  • Can I make changes to the storyboard after the first review?

    Absolutely! The storyboard is a collaborative process, and your feedback is crucial. We can refine it until you're happy before moving forward.

  • Do you offer revisions?

    Yes! I offer three rounds of revisions at each review stage to ensure you're completely satisfied with the final product. Changes outside this scope may incur an additional USD 75 per hour fee.

    Yes! I provide animatics and rough drafts at key stages for your feedback and ensure we're on the right track.

    While minor adjustments are possible, extensive changes may require additional fees depending on the scope of work. It's best to finalize your vision through the early reviews to avoid additional costs.

    While I provide a general workflow breakdown, the turnaround time depends on project complexity. We can discuss your specific needs and provide a more accurate timeline during the initial briefing.
