How We Work
Ownership, rights, revisions, timelines, and exactly how AI is used in production. Written in plain language, because you should know all of this before you pay anyone.
You own the final work. On final payment, full commercial rights to every delivered asset transfer to you — unlimited use, in perpetuity, across any medium. No usage caps, no per-platform licensing, no renewal fees.
That includes:
The right to show the work in our portfolio. If a project is confidential or under embargo, tell us at the brief stage and we'll hold it until you clear it — or permanently, if that's the deal.
AI is part of the production method here, not the product. It expands what a small studio can build. It does not make the creative decisions. Here are the questions people actually ask.
Will my face or voice be used to train a model?
No. We don't submit client likeness, voice, or unreleased material to any service that trains on user input. Where a tool offers a no-training or enterprise mode, we use it. Where it doesn't, we don't put your material in it.
Can I use AI-assisted work commercially?
Yes. We only produce on platforms whose terms grant commercial rights to output, and we pass those rights to you. If a project has a specific legal requirement — broadcast, a label, a licensing body — tell us at the brief and we'll scope the production method to meet it.
Can my unreleased music be uploaded to third-party systems?
Only with your explicit say-so. By default, unreleased audio stays local and is used for timing and reference only. If a technique requires uploading it, we'll ask first and explain why.
How is likeness consent documented?
Any project using a real person's likeness — yours or anyone else's — requires written consent from that person before production starts. It's part of the project agreement, not an afterthought.
What if generated material resembles existing protected work?
We review deliverables for unintentional resemblance before handoff. If something reads as too close to an existing work, we regenerate it. Direction that borrows a specific artist's identifiable style isn't work we take on.
Can I request non-generative production?
Yes. Photography, filming, illustration, and composition can all be done without generative tools. It changes the budget and the timeline, and we'll quote it honestly.
We talk about what you're making, when you need it, and what success looks like. You get a written scope with a fixed price and a delivery date before any money moves.
Before production, you approve the creative direction — references, treatment, and the specific look. This is where taste gets aligned, so nobody discovers a mismatch at delivery.
Production runs against the approved direction with review checkpoints built in. You see work in progress, not just a final reveal.
Final files in every format you need, organized and labeled. Source files included. Rights transfer on final payment.
Revisions are included, not billed as surprises. Every package states its revision rounds up front. Revisions inside the approved direction are covered. A change of direction after approval is a new scope, quoted before any work starts — never invoiced after the fact.
If we miss an agreed delivery date for reasons on our side, you don't pay for the delay. If a project stalls waiting on client feedback, the timeline shifts by the same amount — we'll say so rather than quietly slipping.
We collect only what a project requires: your contact details, your brief, and the material you send us. We don't sell it, share it, or use it for anything except your project. Analytics on this site are anonymous and don't track individuals.
Ask us to delete your material at any point after delivery and we will, apart from whatever we're required to keep for tax records.
Questions about any of this before you commit? Ask directly — we'd rather answer it now than have it surface later.
