Delivery
Compliance, Confidentiality, Confidence.
- Messaging built around your approved claims and language
- Consolidated feedback through one point of contact
- Gated approval process (script, storyboard, design, animation, edit)
- Two revision rounds included at each stage
- Multi-version delivery for regions and audiences (US/EU, sales/clinical)
Review-Ready from Day One
We require script approval before production begins, and storyboard approval before animation or final design. This ensures your team stays in control of messaging long before the most expensive production work begins.
Feedback & Version Control
We support streamlined review workflows through Frame.io, Google Docs, Vimeo, or your internal process—always with clear versioning and consolidated feedback from your key point of contact.
Confidentiality & Secure Collaboration
We routinely work under NDA and provide secure file sharing and private links for sensitive product, clinical, or internal materials.
FAQ
We find that to tell a product or service's story best, the minimum project budget is $40K. Large launch campaigns with multiple deliverables typically range from $75K–$250K+.
Most projects take 6–10 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Timeline depends on runtime, complexity, and the number of deliverables required. If you’re working toward a conference, product launch, or internal deadline, expedited timelines are available.
Yes. Handshake Studios is a full end-to-end production partner, delivering everything from discovery and scripting to live-action production, animation, post-production, and final exports. When you work with us, you don’t need to coordinate multiple vendors—we manage the entire process.
Absolutely. We regularly create multi-version deliverable packages for different teams and channels, including:
- 60s, 30s, 15s, and 5s cutdowns
- Vertical and social-first versions
- Booth loops and conference playback assets
- Sales enablement edits
- Captioned and accessibility-ready versions
- Localization and regional versions (US vs EU)
We’re built for structured review workflows. We typically include two rounds of revisions at each stage—script, storyboard, design, animation, edit—so your internal teams can review and approve in a clear, organized way. Feedback is handled through Frame.io, Vimeo, or consolidated notes, depending on what works best for your team.
