FAQ
Book Trailers questions
What do you need from us?
The cover, the blurb and a few lines about the story and its readers. If the book has illustrations we can animate them. If not, we design the scenes from your description, and you approve the storyboard before animation starts.
How long should a book trailer be?
We suggest 30 to 60 seconds: long enough for the hook and the cover, short enough for a social feed. A 15-second cut works well as an ad, and we can make both from one storyboard.
Can you match the style of my illustrations?
Yes. For picture books and graphic novels we animate the existing artwork, with the permission of whoever owns it, so the trailer looks like the book.
Which animation style suits a book trailer?
It depends on the book. Motion graphics suits covers, type and quotes. 2D and hand-drawn cel animation suit picture books and fantasy. 3D suits worlds and creatures. The price table on this page shows every style by length.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Each price lists what is included. Extras such as rush delivery, extra languages or extra formats are quoted in writing before you commit.
How long does it take?
It depends on length and style. You get a written timeline with your estimate, before any work starts, and rush delivery is available.
How many revisions do I get?
Unlimited revisions within the agreed scope at each stage. Our terms explain exactly what that covers.
