Price range: from a few thousand to several hundred thousand yuan
Project sizes vary a lot, so we don’t set a minimum. Typical projects fall roughly into these groups:
- At the few-thousand end: a sample demo before a full order, a few AI effect shots for an ad or TV program, or AI concept visuals for a pitch.
- The most common projects: a one- to two-minute corporate film, product video, or government and tourism promo, made from script to finished film.
- At the several-hundred-thousand end: multi-episode series and animated micro-dramas, longer films, brand launch projects, and films with lots of character performance and many review layers.
| Project type | What we make | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| Sample demo | From 15 seconds to check story and style direction; automated or hand-refined versions | As soon as the same day |
| AI visuals and segments | AI visuals and effect shots for ads and programs, priced by shot count or segment length | Scheduled by shot count |
| Full film (1–2 minutes) | Corporate, product, government and tourism films, from script to finished film | About two weeks |
| Series and multi-episode dramas | Characters, locations and style built in episode one and reused, so later episodes cost less | Scheduled per episode, teams in parallel |
| Corporate AI video training | The full AI video workflow for company and university teams, including making a promo film from scratch | Priced by training days |
What drives the price
The same minute can take several times longer depending on visual difficulty and revisions. So we start from running time, set the tier by visual difficulty, and move up a tier when there are many review layers or high revision demands.
- Running time: billed by the minute, with anything under a minute counted as one; up to 20 seconds over a full minute is not charged.
- Visual difficulty: lip-synced dialogue and subtle acting, a continuous story with many shots, fast action and complex camera moves, or exact product reproduction—any one of these makes it high-end.
- Revision needs: for a brand or product launch, three or more review layers, feedback passed through several people, or “revise until satisfied”—two or more of these move it up a tier.
- Charged separately: original scripts, an extra full proposal for a pitch, no public showcase, 4K and specified high-quality models, and subcontracted 3D or live action—each listed in the quote, with subcontractor fees passed on at cost.
What the price includes
Every step from brief to finished film is included. Adding a logo or swapping a scene within the normal revision scope costs nothing extra.
- Script development: you give us an outline and we turn it into a production-ready shot script
- Style and assets: the overall look, main characters and main locations
- Storyboards and AI video: still storyboards and video generation, compute costs included
- Editing and finishing: editing, subtitles and full sound design
- AI voice-over: Chinese or English, with lip sync and tone adjustment as standard
- Music: AI-generated, or licensed tracks when needed
How long it takes
- Sample demo: from 15 seconds, delivered as soon as the same day.
- A 1–2 minute film: usually a first cut in about a week and the final in about another week—roughly two weeks in total.
- Series and longer films: scheduled by shot count at signing, with several teams able to work in parallel.
- Rush production is available; timeline and price are agreed case by case.
How payment works
A 50% deposit at signing starts production, and the remaining 50% is due within a month of the final cut. If you start with a sample, you can pay the deposit once you’re happy with it. We issue Chinese VAT invoices and accept payments from overseas.
Working with a tight budget
We don’t discount the rate, but we can adjust the approach: simple visuals with few revisions can go in the Light tier, which is still a finished professional film; or shorten the film, or use fewer shots with multiple characters, lip-synced dialogue or difficult action. If you’re unsure about the result, start with a sample—its fee is fully credited toward the project.
