Pricing FAQs

Are these timelines guaranteed?

They’re planning guidelines, not hard SLAs. We’ll confirm scope and dates at kickoff, keep you updated weekly, and offer rush where capacity allows.

What affects delivery speed?

Complete assets & brief, feedback within 48 hours, and sticking to two focused revision rounds per deliverable keeps things on track.

Can we change the mix month to month?

Yes. Capacity is mix-based. We help plan the most valuable deliverables for the month.

Do you film on-site?

Yes. Book on-site day(s) as add-ons (or via Scale credit). Travel is billed at cost + per diem.

Who owns the content?

You own final renders for web, social, and internal use. Third-party assets are cleared in scope and billed at cost where needed.
