How we work
You approve the expensive decision first.
Nearly every render project that goes wrong goes wrong the same way: materials applied before the camera and the light were agreed. Our process exists to make that impossible.
- 01
Brief and fixed quote
Within one business day
You send drawings — elevations and a plan are enough — plus a sentence about what the imagery has to achieve. We come back with a fixed price, a written scope and a delivery date. Not a range, not an hourly estimate, and not a discovery call first.
Your part
Drawings, and what the images are for. - 02
Grey-box and camera
Days 1–3
We build the massing and set every camera with no materials applied at all. You see exactly what will be in frame, from where, at what time of day. This is the single most important approval in the project and it is also the cheapest one to change.
Your part
Approve composition and light, or tell us to move it. - 03
Materials, styling and first frames
Days 3–6
Finishes go on to specification. Landscape, furniture, vehicles and figures are placed. You receive the first full-quality frames for review, and the revision rounds begin here rather than at the end.
Your part
One consolidated round of comments. - 04
Grade and delivery
Days 6–8
Final colour grade, full-resolution render, and delivery in every format you actually need — print, web, social crops, and layered files if you want to make your own adjustments later.
Your part
Nothing. Files land in your inbox.
FAQ
About the process
Why does the grey-box stage matter so much?
Because changing a camera angle after materials are applied means redoing the materials. Approving composition and light first is the difference between a project that lands on schedule and one that quietly doubles in cost. Every studio knows this; not every studio enforces it.
What if I need to change the design mid-project?
It happens constantly and it is fine. We re-quote the change before doing it, so you always approve the cost before it is incurred. Small changes are usually absorbed at no charge.
Can I get a faster turnaround?
Usually yes, by reallocating artists from other work. It is quoted as an explicit surcharge before you commit, never applied afterwards.
Who actually does the work?
A senior artist owns your project from grey-box to grade. We cap concurrent projects specifically so this is possible — you are not handed between a modeller, a lighter and a compositor who never speak to each other.
