How we price
Scope drives everything: what we're making, how long it runs, how finished it needs to be, and what you're bringing to the table. CAD files, footage, a script, and a brand system all affect the work involved. We bid from that scope, in writing, with assumptions stated. Focused pieces and full campaigns get senior creative direction and the same straight answer, including “you don't need us for this” when you don't. Agencies get a bid they can mark up with confidence; brand teams get a number they can stand behind upstairs.

FAQ
Are these your prices?
No. The guides show broad 2026 U.S. market-planning ranges for specific project examples, so you can sanity-check a budget before you talk to anyone. Garbanzo quotes from your scope, in writing, with the assumptions stated. A market range is a planning tool, never a quote.
How do I choose between a freelancer, a studio, and an agency?
Choose by the job. These are ways of commissioning the work, not levels of quality, and budgets overlap. Compare relevant experience, the proposed scope and deliverables, and who will manage production before comparing the totals.
