How much does an architectural animation cost?
Animation starts at US$ 4,500 per finished minute. The price depends on length, the number of scenes and how much of the project appears. A launch film usually runs 60 to 90 seconds, and you get a fixed quote after the call.
Can you reuse the 3D from the stills?
Yes. When we make both, the film reuses the scenes from the stills, which shortens production.
How long does it take?
It depends on length and scenes. The schedule is set with the storyboard and goes into the contract.
