Main cost drivers
The largest cost drivers are script complexity, number of unique shots, character consistency, product realism, VFX difficulty and post-production detail.
How to scope responsibly
Start with asset length, required ratios, number of versions and decision-makers. A tight brief reduces revision waste.
Pricing guidance
Simple reels can be scoped quickly. Premium commercials, trailers and AI film sequences need a treatment, shot list and visual bible before pricing is accurate.
