M. NesvadeLine Producer · Google ReviewQuestions from San Francisco teams
Do you work with companies in San Francisco?
Yes. Pixeldust works with San Francisco and Bay Area teams remotely, with clear review points at every stage, and we travel for shoots when a story needs to be filmed on location. Our studios are in Washington D.C., Orlando, Madrid and Monterrey.
Can you work from our product files and UI?
Yes. We build 3D product visuals from your CAD files and animate your real interface, so launch videos and demos stay accurate and on brand.
How much does a video cost?
It depends on the complexity of the project, but you may be surprised: it’s often less expensive and less complicated than people expect. Tell us what you need and we’ll provide a clear quote.
How long does a project take?
Timelines depend on scope. Once we understand the project, we’ll give you a clear schedule with review points at every stage, and we can move quickly when a launch date is fixed.
