Book trailers
A sixty to ninety second launch film for one novel: written, cast, scored and cut to carry the whole story, with three cutdowns so the same production runs as paid creative.
$1,750–2,800
Book Trailers in detail
What you get

What it costs
The Trailers runs $1,750 to $2,800. The band is scope, not negotiation: the lower end is a single narrator and two to three environments, the upper end is multiple voices, a larger cast of character builds and a more demanding sequence.
We quote inside that band after reading your Story Brief, before any work starts, and the quote is the price. Branded stills, the cutdowns, the captioned masters and the source files are all inside it.
50% holds the slot, 50% on delivery. Add-ons — extra cutdowns, additional characters, audiogram sets, ad-creative variants, rush delivery — are quoted separately and always in advance.
How long
Two to three weeks after concept approval.
Rush delivery is possible where the calendar allows it and is priced as an add-on. Tell us the launch date up front.
What we need
- · Your Story Brief.
- · Your cover files at print resolution, and the artist's name, so we can either match the palette or depart from it deliberately.
- · Brand guideline: character commissions, sigils, maps.
- · Character notes — ages, builds, scars, accents, anything a returning reader would correct us on.
- · A date. Launch, preorder or ad flight.
