Six jobs, six fees®

Every project below carries what it cost, how long it took and the thing that went wrong on it. A portfolio without those three is a mood board.

Nordisk Audio
(01) — PRODUCT FILM

Nordisk Audio

Twelve product renders and a 40-second launch film, from CAD supplied by the client.

Fee

€38,000

Duration

7 weeks

Year

2025

What went wrong

The CAD arrived unusable — 2.4 million polygons of manufacturing geometry. Retopology was eleven days nobody had quoted for, and we absorbed six of them. It is why the rates page now has a CAD clause.

Praça Coffee
(02) — BRAND + MOTION

Praça Coffee

Identity refresh, packaging renders, and a set of nine social loops.

Fee

€24,500

Duration

5 weeks

Year

2025

What went wrong

Cheapest way to shoot a coffee bag is to not shoot it. Nine loops from one lighting setup, re-dressed — which is a production decision, not an art one.

Fio Studio
(03) — SITE + 3D

Fio Studio

WebGL hero and eighteen model states for an architecture practice.

Fee

€31,000

Duration

9 weeks

Year

2024

What went wrong

We warned that a WebGL hero costs about 1.4 MB and eight frames of jank on a mid-range Android. They shipped it anyway, it converted, and we still think a video would have done the same job.

Verde Mobility
(04) — LAUNCH CAMPAIGN

Verde Mobility

Full CGI campaign — one hero film, six cutdowns, thirty stills.

Fee

€96,000

Duration

14 weeks

Year

2024

What went wrong

Our largest job and the one that taught us to cap revisions. Round nine looked identical to round four; we now include three rounds and price the rest.

Casa Bruta
(05) — INTERIORS CGI

Casa Bruta

Twenty-two interior visuals for a developer, pre-construction.

Fee

€27,400

Duration

6 weeks

Year

2023

What went wrong

Straightforward, well briefed, delivered early. Most of our work is this rather than the showreel, and pretending otherwise is how studios mis-set expectations.

Atlântico Festival
(06) — TITLES + STAGE

Atlântico Festival

Title sequence and 26 metres of stage content at 3840×960.

Fee

€19,800

Duration

4 weeks

Year

2023

What went wrong

Delivered on site at 03:00 the night before. We do not take festival work in July any more — the schedule risk is real and the fee never covers it.
