Why it’s freaking awesome

With this plan, your brand’s potential is unleashed and every idea is transformed into compelling content. From short-form social posts to longer educational videos, Unlimiated covers it all. 

How our Unlimited plan works

The Process

Gisteo Unlimited requires a one-year commitment. For each explainer video production during the year, we focus on one project at a time. 

Our process is consistent with any Gisteo project, starting with discovery to understand your needs, followed by script development, then storyboarding, voice over recording, and finally, the animation. 

Once we finish production on a project, we start the next one.  Rinse, wash, repeat! There is no minimum or maximum length for a Gisteo Unlimited project. Whether you need a 15 second animated ad or a 4 minute training video, we’ve got you covered. 

Turnaround Times

With Gisteo Unlimited, our familiarity with your brand streamlines the video creation process. As we come to understand your unique narrative, we speed up production, allowing for quicker turnaround times. This continual partnership not only yields videos faster but also tailors our creativity to your brand’s specifics. 

As such, typical turnaround times are quicker for Unlimited members vs. those of our standalone projects. You can expect around 4 weeks for a 60-90 second project, especially after completing the first production.  For smaller video projects such as social media animations, video testimonials, etc, turnaround times are shorter (1-2 weeks).

What's included/general parameters

Styles

Gisteo Unlimited animated explainer video plan covers any of our main styles that you can review on our Portfolio page, along with our social media videos (more info here).  

Styles not included: custom 3D videos or live-action productions (with sets, actors etc.). Animated ads for broadcast TV are included but an additional fee may be applicable for voice over buy-out/broadcast license (yes, perhaps surprisingly, voice over artists still charge more for broadcast television).

Length

Gisteo Unlimited is optimal for marketers primarily working on explainer videos, promo videos, sales videos, training videos, social media videos, etc. with a length of 2-3 minutes. Given the trend of waning attention spans, shorter videos not only resonate more but also allow you to make the most of our your yearly subscription. 

If you have numerous long-form videos planned for the year, you’ll still be covered under the Gisteo Unlimited, but keep in mind that turnaround times for longer productions of say 5+ minutes will take longer to complete.  

The proverbial two-way street

As previously mentioned, we concentrate on one project at a time to ensure maximum efficiency. The speed of production can be influenced by various factors, including your prompt responses, the number of revisions required, and the clarity of your video vision. The smoother and more organized we keep the process, the more videos we can create for you!

Benefits of Gisteo Unlimited

Lower per-video cost

If you do a volume of work, you will massive savings vs. our per-project rates for video production in this model. Plus, unlike our standalone projects, where there’s a base rate + incremental fee based on the running time, Gisteo Unlimited offers a straightforward yearly fee for everything. This covers any production, whether it’s a quick 15 or 30-second clip or a longer animated explainer video.

Streamlined, hassle-free billing

FAQ about this service

Yes, this plan is a yearly unlimited subscription. 
Gisteo MAX, on the other hand, is a membership that requires a one-time annual payment in exchange for significant per project discounts. You can read more about MAX here

Once we commence work on our first project, your Gisteo Unlimited plan is non-refundable.  If you choose to back out and not pay your second installment after the first six months, you will be obligated to “settle up” the bill by paying the full per-project normal rates on all videos completed. 

There is no obligation past your annual subscription. You may choose to not renew after your yearly plan has ended. 

Gisteo Unlimited is designed for us to work on one project at a time. If there is an urgent need to prioritize one project over another, we may pause a current project and focus on the urgent one first.

We aim to be your long-term video production partner. Our incentive is to keep you happy and part of our subscription  program in year 1 and beyond. Dragging our feet would be counter-productive to the future of our relationship with you, not to mention our reputation. We’ve been doing this since 2011 with hundreds of repeat customers so B.S. like that isn’t part of our long-term vision or business model 🙂

 

We like to keep things simple and easy so, yes, you can use your Gisteo Unlimited plan for any brands that fall under your parent company. We’ll need you to specify which brands/companies you would like covered under the plan on our initial discovery call.

Please schedule a discovery meeting at the bottom of this page to go over your needs. We’ll then prepare a contract for you to sign and get started. 

The process is the same for all our video projects. We start with our pre-production questionnaire to better understand your needs.  Download a copy in Word or click here to complete a copy in Google Docs and share it with info@gisteo.com.

This is especially important on the first project or two until you get to know how everything works. You’ll see that, once you get the hang of how we work, each subsequent project will get easier and more efficient. Oftentimes, we get into a groove with experienced clients who already have briefing materials ready to go for the next video.

As mentioned previously, we normally start with a kick-off meeting to discuss your goals, how everything works and get to know each other better. Please schedule a Gisteo Unlimited kick-off meeting using the calendar below.

Perfect! That means that your video can be completed faster than our normal estimated timeframes and you can move on to your next video sooner, which ultimately lowers the per video the cost for you and enables us to produce more work during your contract period.

We have a rollover plan for nearly completed in-progress work.  We guarantee that we’ll finish any pending project that is at least in the storyboard stage after your contract period ends, at no additional charge.

That means we’ll complete the unfinished project (again, the project needs to be further along in the process- i.e can’t be still in initial script development) the following month and you will not be billed extra.

Yes, we do white label work with some agencies, meaning that we can handle the entire production process and you simply resell the content we produce under your brand at whatever markup you’d like.
