-
Colour frames
15–25 colour frames per day on top of the B&W boards — colour is drawn at the same daily volume as B&W. Used for keyframes, financier decks, and pitch visuals where the brief calls for colour.
-
Additional revision rounds
One round of amends is standard on day-rate work. Further passes booked as additional days at the same rate.
-
Rush turnaround
Same-day or overnight delivery quoted on a project basis. Typical rush uplift sits in the 25–50% range against the standard day rate.

Buy-out / extended usage
Standard rates assume single-campaign use. Wider usage rights — internal training, agency archive, multi-year reuse — quoted as a separate line.

On-site / agency week
Default is remote. London on-site weeks at agency or production company are available at the same daily rate; reasonable travel costs invoiced at cost.
Three things buyers ask before briefing.
- How do you bill — day rate or fixed fee?
- Both. Day rate is the default for TVCs and shorter work. Fixed project fees are available on hero campaigns, features, episodic and whole-script commissions — quoted in 24 hours on weekdays.
- How many revisions are included?
- One round of amends on a day-rate job. Same-day amends are standard on TVCs. Bigger creative pivots get quoted separately as additional days.
- Do you work outside the UK?
- Yes. Remote is the default and most work runs that way. Time-zone-friendly for EU and East Coast US briefs. London on-site available.
