FAQs

  • How long does the entire process take?

    The timeline depends on the complexity of the animation, but most projects take between 2-6 weeks from concept development to delivery. I’ll provide a detailed timeline after our initial discussion. I can also work on tight deadlines if required.

  • Can you work with my existing script or idea?

    Absolutely! If you already have a script or concept, I’ll collaborate with you to refine and adapt it for stop-motion animation.

  • What if I need revisions after the final animation is delivered?

    Once the animation is completed, only minor and specific tweaks are possible. This is why Step 2 is crucial—to ensure we’re fully aligned before production begins. If a re-shoot is necessary, it can be done for an additional fee.

  • Do you handle sound effects and music?

    Yes, I can add sound effects for an additional fee. If you’d like music, I can recommend licensed tracks or integrate music you provide.

What's included

  • Concept Development

    We’ll begin with a conversation where you share your ideas, draft scripts, and any references you love. Based on this, I’ll craft a detailed script and refine the concept, delivering a finalized idea that aligns with your goals.

  • Digital Draft Creation

    Before diving into animation, I’ll create a digital draft to ensure we’re on the same page. This step allows for feedback and alignment.

  • Animation Production

    Once the draft is approved, I’ll handle all aspects of production, including sourcing props, crafting materials, setting up the scenes, lighting, and animating. Each frame is meticulously crafted to create a polished and captivating final piece.

  • Post-Production

    The animation comes to life in post-production, where I’ll refine the visuals, color-grade the footage, and fix any errors. For an extra fee, I can add sound effects to enhance the final video, ensuring it’s ready to make an impact.

Diego can take something from raw footage to a complete story. He's someone I'd trust with my more complex edits in a heartbeat. Super clear & consistent communication, great attitude, all around stellar editor.

Diego did an excellent job...5 stars. I had a few unrelated clips that I wanted compiled into a demo reel, and most of my footage was older. Diego made everything look seamless. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him.
