FAQ

  • How much does an animation cost?
    • Pricing can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as complexity, length, and style. To give you an accurate quote, reach out with an idea of what you’d like to create. I’ll ask some questions to clarify the specifics and understand the scope of the project.
  • I only have [XXX] budget. Can we still work together?
    • Let me know what budget you’re working with, and we can explore what’s possible within that range. We can also discuss potential adjustments or compromises to ensure the video meets your goals while staying within budget.
  • Can I spread out the cost?
    • Of course! I ask for a percentage upfront to get started, then I’m happy to discuss terms to spread out the remaining cost.
  • I’ve already got a script for my video, will that reduce the cost?
    • That’s a great start! If you have a script, storyboard, or any other assets, it can definitely help reduce costs. Share them with me in our initial conversations, and we’ll determine if they’re usable and how they impact the overall pricing.
  • Will you sign an NDA before the project begins?
    • Absolutely! I’m happy to sign an NDA to ensure your ideas and intellectual property are protected.
  • Are you able to help with my video marketing strategy?
    • Yes! During our initial discussions, we’ll cover your video’s goals to ensure the content is aligned with your marketing strategy. This will also help us decide the best format and platforms for distributing the video.
  • Can I get an animation other than an explainer?
    • Definitely! While I specialise in explainer videos, I’ve worked on animations for broadcast, marketing, music videos, video games, and more. Take a look at my portfolio, and if you need something animated, I’d love to collaborate!

Working with Matt we had a specific brief to create two bespoke videos with interlinked narratives that were languageless and easy to understand, with consistency in look and feel being crucial. The videos delivered were perfect for our requirements and Matt was accommodating and efficient throughout the process. Highly recommended!
Sam Pajot-PhippsgoConfirm
We approached Matt with a project to distill a complex new app into a simple, easy to follow ‘how to’ video within a tight deadline. Matt approached each step with transparent communication, clarity on his needs or dependencies and was highly receptive to new ideas and iterations during the process – which is critical as an early stage company. Would definitely work with Matt again.

Matt approached our project at the NHS with creativity and professionalism from the start. We were incredibly happy with the first draft, and only needed minor changes, which were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Matt was also incredibly patient with our team, and was a joy to work with. Thank you Matt!
