Q - What advantage does an Aries production have over other studios?
 
A - Aries is a totally integrated, self-contained, creative and production house.  Using our own in-house technical staff, with years of commercial experience in sales and marketing, as well as the engineering and scientific disciplines, ensures the content will be of the highest quality.  The studio and post-production resources use the current "state-of-the-art" creative and media production technology.  Having a totally integrated process improves communications, eliminates markup from 3rd parties and reduces the production timeframe.  This contributes to improved creativity, quality and reduced client costs.
  
Q - How do I know the finished production will meet my requirements?
 
A - Any production is broken down into a series of steps, each of which is approved by you before the production advances to the next stage.  The production steps are typically as follows:
 
- Agreement of purpose and goals; projected cost
- Script development
- Storyboard development
- Acquiring all media (video / film, voice-over, animations, special effects, music)
- Rough edit
- Final edit
- Duplication (tape, DVD, web media, computer file)
- Final sign-off and delivery of production
 
Q - How do I know that my production is priced competitively?
 
A - Aries uses a competitively priced rate sheet to project the final cost of your production.  You will see how all costs were determined rather than being given a lump number without any supporting detail.  Studio rental, location shooting, script development, special effects, animations, editing etc. all have fixed rates attached to each.  You can add or subtract resources to meet your budget requirements.  Once an agreement of services is signed, your costs are then fixed.  Only if you decide to subtract or add additional services will your cost change.
