FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

It usually takes three to six weeks to complete a professional video. However, it depends on a few variables such as the duration of the video, its complexity, the number of revisions needed and the time the client takes to provide feedback and approve each stage.

From the very beginning, a Project Manager will be in almost daily communication with you, so that you will be fully updated and well-informed about the timing of your project.

If you need a video completed ‘yesterday’ we will work diligently to accommodate you, providing a special plan for your “rush” project.

Our process is described both in the following video and in the text below:

We create videos in an organized and effective manner. You will be guided through the process by a project manager, so you can enjoy the journey as much as we do!

Here’s a step-by-step description of our process:

Understanding Your Business Brief: We will send you an Arigato Studio questionnaire for you to complete, so that we can understand your goals and the details of your project.
Connecting & Confirmation: A Project Manager will contact you to make sure we are clear in interpreting your goals for the video and to make sure you’re happy with our proposal.
Script: Based on your goals and your target audience, we’ll create a customized and effective script for the video.
Voice: We then record the script with the voice-over that best suits your project!
Storyboard: We then add images to the script, creating a storyboard. The storyboard is the sketch for how your ideas will transform into a video!
Illustrations: Original illustrations will then be created to tell your story visually.
Animations: Your story will come to life through our implementation of After Effects animations.
Music & Sounds: In our very own studio, we’ll add sound effects and commercial copyright-free music to your project.
Delivery & Advice: Upon delivery, we will provide your video file in various formats and offer you advice for broadcasting your video successfully.
We Care: Our team will be here to answer your questions relative to the production of your video. We appreciate the fact that you chose us to help you grow your business.

Compensation for our work on your project is divided into three payments:

33% is collected to get after you enlist us to get started.

33% is due after the storyboard is approved by you.

34% is the final payment and is due after the animation is approved by you.

We gladly accept payment through PayPal and bank transfers.

Please contact us with any further questions so that we can help you plan for securing a really great video!

We offer budget-friendly prices that are competitive in today’s market.

The price depends on the length of the video and on the package you choose.

Everything in our animation work is custom made; we do not use premade, cookie-cutter templates. Our integrity in creating original work results in producing higher quality videos. We invest between 100 and 150 hours of work per each 60 seconds of animation, plus additional time for all the other components that go into providing you with a video that makes you happy.

Please contact us by pressing the “Get a quote” button located throughout our website. We can then provide you with a price that will make you smile.

Arigato Studio provides you with fixed price video packages. There are no hidden fees.

Whereas freelancers and other companies most often use generic templates for their animation, we create unique, custom-made videos.

We create our own content, produced by our professional writers, to best reflect your goals, instead of ‘borrowing’ content from the internet.

We use quality software to create your video. Careful construction of your video takes time. Videos created using less effective software can be generated in a shorter amount of time, but the sacrifice is that of quality. Our process requires 150 hours of work per minute of animation, and the result is completely superior to cookie-cutter animation.

When you work with us, you will have the backing of a company with experience delivering more than 900 successful projects, with more than 5 years of experience and consisting of more than 20 specialists at your service. Freelancers are most often a ‘one-person operation’ with limited access to high-level resources. Although we love working with quality freelancers -and in fact enlist them periodically for very specific tasks- we would never expect one to be able to do all that we do together as an Arigato team.

If you have additional questions, please let us know, and we will reply.
