Music video

3 to 4 minutes, lip-synced to your vocal

£3,000ex VAT

Your track becomes a film: the same face from the first shot to the last, a cinema-grade image, a mouth that follows your voice second by second. No film set, no rental day.

What you receive

Precise deliverables

How we work

Four rules, no exceptions
01Signed quote before the first frame

Nothing is shot without a written brief and an agreed price.

02Character reference sheets

One sheet per outfit and per state, so the face holds from one shot to the next.

03Four to eight takes per shot

Every shot is generated several times, and we keep the best take.

04Check before delivery

Identity, location, light, continuity: four points checked before the shot ships.

Turnaround

Numbered, not an open-ended promise

Quote within 48 working hours. Then four to six weeks of production, starting from the deposit and from your audio master.

  • First week: track map measured on your audio, story, locations and sheets, for approval.
  • Following weeks: shot production, in the order of the track.
  • Then the first full edit, and your first round of revisions.
  • Finally the second round, colour grade and delivery.

Your notes come in one batch, within five working days: any delay in approval pushes delivery back by the same amount.

What is included, what is not

So the quote holds no surprise

Included

  • The music map, measured on your audio before a single shot is written.
  • The story, the locations and the character sheets, approved by you before production.
  • Shot production, editing and colour grading.
  • Two rounds of revisions and the exclusive, perpetual licence.
  • One lead artist and up to two recurring supporting characters, three to five locked locations.
  • A single named approver in the quote: that rule is what protects your release date.

Not included

  • The final audio master (WAV preferred) and the stems if you have them, above all the isolated vocal: you supply them.
  • The rights to your music, which stay yours and which you must hold.
  • A third round of revisions, or any request that reopens an approved stage, quoted first.
  • Recurring characters beyond two, quoted separately with their own sheets.
  • Working files, which stay with the studio.
  • Distribution.

Examples

Work by the studio

Quiet Crown, a full music video produced for Bana Bilaka with no film set. The same face holds from the first shot to the last, under stage light and crowd light. On the Films page.

Frequently asked questions

Before you sign
Is the lip-sync done on my actual voice?

Yes. Your master is the only source of timing: no voice is generated, no tempo altered.

How many characters are included?

One lead artist and up to two recurring supporting characters. Each additional recurring character gets its own sheets and is quoted separately. Extras in a single scene are included.

How many sets?

Set in the quote. A 3 to 4 minute video holds three to five, each locked so it stays identical on every return.

Who owns the files?

The delivered video is yours, under an exclusive, perpetual licence, as soon as the balance is paid. Your music rights are never affected.

Can I have both 16:9 and 9:16?

Yes, but vertical is decided in the quote: format is chosen when the shot is produced, and cropping a 16:9 damages the image.

How does payment work?

50% on booking, the balance on delivery. No final file is released before the balance is received.

What about VAT if I am not in the UK?

Prices exclude VAT. Businesses outside the UK: no UK VAT, reverse charge applies, just send us your VAT number. UK clients add VAT at 20%. Mamakatiopa Ltd, VAT GB 396 0036 92.
