How it works
We’ve built a clear, step-by-step process so you always know what to expect.
Step 1 — Initial consultation
Request a consultation and tell us about your project idea. We will follow up to:
Confirm if we are a good match for your project
Review timeline expectations (1 month minimum lead time)
Provide a ballpark cost estimate (most projects start at $10,000 per finished minute)
Share a preview of our approach
Step 2 — Deep dive with our Director
If you’re still interested, we’ll set up a detailed conversation with our Director of Medical Animation. Here, we review your project goals and guide you through our Project Checklist.
Our Project Checklist
Project Overview — Topic, purpose (education, marketing, legal, etc.)
Audience & Tone — Target audience and preferred style (realistic, schematic, stylized)
Source Material — Assets you can provide (scripts, 3D models, scans, etc.) vs. what we’ll create
Technical Scope — Length, format (2D/3D), resolution, advanced effects, complexity
Usage & Deliverables — Where and how the animation will be used; alternate versions or languages needed
Timeline — Target delivery date (minimum 1-month lead time) and review milestones (storyboard, animatic, final)
Budget Range — Sharing your range allows us to tailor scope effectively
Rights & Licensing — You own the final product outright. No hidden licensing fees.
Step 3 — Proposal & agreement
We compile everything from the deep dive into a custom proposal that includes:
Scope of work
Timeline with milestones
Detailed cost estimate
Expected deliverables (e.g. scriptwriting, voiceover, pre-viz, animation, music, effects, revisions, stills, rights)
Once approved, production begins.
Step 4 — Production & delivery
Your animation follows a clear production process, each with one round of revisions and allowances for minor adjustments to keep your project on schedule and on budget.
The Production Process
Script Approval — We help shape your key messaging into a clear, concise script that defines scope and estimated runtime.
Pre-visualization Approval — Illustrated frames and preliminary 3D renders outline the sequence and style of your animation.
Animatic Approval — A timed 3D rough cut with voiceover previews pacing, flow, and transitions.
Final Delivery — We deliver the completed animation in your requested format, with a final review and adjustments included.
