Prices
Prices, up front.Every story runs at least 90 seconds.

Includedin every package
Film-style
Photoreal people and places made with AI, so it looks like a short film: your client at home, at work or in your office, with no film shoot. The scenes are made in a separate photoreal video tool, and I make them again until you’re happy with them.
+A$499+ GST a video
Corporate work
Working with a corporate team?Talk to me about a quote.
Every corporate job is different, so I quote each one. Talk to me about kickoff and go-live videos for your programme, the stories inside your Rise 360 courses, and corporate pricing.
How a video gets made
We talk. I write it.You see every scene before it moves.
Shown with a real one: SAP go-live Monday, made for programmes facing the 2027 deadline.
We talk
An hour on a call. I read your documents and website first, so we start on what matters.
The brief: thousands of people at a mine site move to new SAP screens on one Monday. Show them that Monday before it happens.
I write the story
One person, one day, the old way and the new. You sign off the script.
Meet Sam. He plans maintenance at a mine site. Twelve years in the old screens. He can raise a work order with his eyes shut. On go-live Monday, he can’t find it. The crew is waiting.
You see every scene
Every scene as a still frame. You sign them off before anything is animated.
Scenes 3, 4 and 5, signed off as stills
Then it moves
Animation, a professional voice, music and captions. Versions for your website and LinkedIn.
Usually about three weeks from our first conversation.
Questions
The short answers.Ask me anything else.
Why does every story run at least 90 seconds?
A story needs room: where someone starts, what changes, and where they end up. A 90-second film holds about a dozen scenes, one thing each. Every sample on the small business page runs between one minute and a minute and a half.
How do I pay?
Half to start, half on delivery. Prices exclude GST.
Why does film-style cost more?
Film-style scenes are made in a separate photoreal video tool that charges for every take, and I make scenes again until you’re happy with them. The A$499 covers those takes, however many it needs.
What if a scene isn’t right?
Your rounds of changes are for the script and the storyboard. Once you’ve signed those off, any scene that doesn’t look right is regenerated until you’re happy with it, at no extra cost, in cartoon or film-style.
Can I use it anywhere?
Yes: your website, LinkedIn, email and presentations.
