FAQ
Music video questions
How much does an animated music video cost?
We price by length, at $5, $10 or $20 per second depending on the package, with a 30 second minimum. A 3 minute song is $900, $1,800 or $3,600.
How long does it take?
Delivery starts at 7 days for 30 seconds. A full song takes longer, and every stage waits for your approval, so we agree on a schedule before we start.
Do you make music videos for kids channels?
Yes. Children's songs, nursery rhymes and learning songs, with characters and colors designed for young audiences and ready for YouTube.
Can you make a lyric video?
Yes. Lyric videos fit the $5 per second package: the words move with the rhythm, with illustrations in the style of your song or your artwork.
Do I need the rights to the song?
Yes. You need to own the song or have the rights to use it in a video. We animate to your track and do not license music for you.
How does the process work?
Three stages you approve one by one: first the storyboard, so the story follows the music the way you hear it, then the illustrations, then the animation.
How much does 1 minute of custom animation cost?
One minute of custom animation costs $300, $600 or $1,200, at $5, $10 or $20 per second. A full music video is priced by the length of the song, with a 30 second minimum.
