A POSSIBLE FIRST PROJECT

A small moment.
A story with personality.

Imagine a short office comedy built around two colleagues and a cat who steals the scene. Establish the characters, set up the moment and shape a first pilot around the payoff.

WHAT WE CAN MAKE

Choose a first step.

For a brand, story or product that needs a short video with a clear purpose.

01 / A PLACE TO BEGIN

Tell a character-led story

Develop an introduction, a small comedy scene or a short narrative around original characters.

YOU RECEIVE

An agreed script or storyboard and a first video pilot.

02 / A PLACE TO BEGIN

Show something worth using

Present a product or prototype through clear shots, pacing and useful context.

YOU RECEIVE

A short edited showcase in the agreed viewing format.

03 / A PLACE TO BEGIN

Adapt the story for its audience

Prepare captions, English or French versions and formats that fit where the video will appear.

YOU RECEIVE

Agreed language versions, captions and final exports.

YOUR STARTING POINT

A rough idea.
A clear conversation.

Share the audience, the message and where the video will appear. We’ll agree a manageable length, visual style, voice approach and shot plan before creating the first pilot.

We agree the scope, deliverables, timing and quote before work begins.

WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY

Made for
your next step.

  • A script or storyboard with character and shot direction
  • A first pilot, followed by the agreed refinement round
  • Final video exports with agreed sound, captions and aspect ratios

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before we
begin.

Can we start with one video before planning a series?

Yes. A bounded pilot is a useful way to establish visual quality, timing, and production effort before committing to repeated episodes.

Can you edit footage or visuals I already have?

Yes, where the supplied material and rights fit the brief. We will review the sources, decide what needs creating, and agree the final format.

What do we agree before starting?

Video length, languages, voice approach, asset rights, formats, and revision rounds are scoped up front. Complex multi-shot character animation and recurring production need a separate feasibility and effort review.
