approval

Founding-client terms, first five clients. No deposit. I make the first cut, and you pay through Contra once you approve it. If the first cut isn't right for your launch, you don't pay.

How it works

Five days, launch film

You see the plan before anything is animated, and you see a finished first cut before you pay.

DAY 0

You send the basics

Product link or demo login, launch date, logo and colours.

DAY 1

Script and style frames

A 30-second script and three stills of the look, for your OK.

DAY 2–3

Animation and score

Your real product screens, animated, with music written to the cuts.

DAY 4

First cut

You review the full film. Approve it, then pay.

DAY 5

Final files

Your changes, then every format, ready to upload.

Work

Seven launches, seven looks

Spec concepts made for real Product Hunt launches, to show what a launch film can do. Each one has its own case study.

Questions

Before you book

Are these official ads?

No. They are spec concepts I made for real Product Hunt launches. None were commissioned or approved by the companies, and each one says so on screen.

What do you need from me?

Your product link or a demo login, your launch date, and your logo and colours if you have them. A screen recording of the main flow helps.

Will it show my real product?

Yes. The films are built from your real screens and flows, redrawn so they stay sharp at every size and move cleanly.

Is there a voice-over?

Not by default. On-screen text carries the story, so the film works with the sound off in a feed. A voice-over can be added if you want one.

Who owns the film and the music?

You do. The music is composed for your film, so there is no stock licence to track or renew.

How do I pay?

Through Contra, which holds the agreement and the payment for both of us. Founding clients pay after approving the first cut.

My launch is sooner than that. Can you do it faster?

Often. Send your launch date and I'll tell you straight away whether it fits.

Can I see one for my product first?

Ask for a 10-second sample. If there's time before your launch, I'll make one before you decide.

Launching soon?

Send your launch date and product link. You'll get a script idea back within a day.
