Questions before you commission

How much does a film cost?

Cost depends on length, production method, planning scope and difficulty. Here are typical ranges for work we are often asked about.

Animation

  • Webtoon animation PVAbout 1 min, KRW 5–10M per film
  • Short-form webtoon animationAbout 1 min, KRW 0.5–1M per episode (multi-episode packages)
  • Cutout animationKRW 5–15M per minute
  • Hand-drawn animationKRW 20–40M per minute

AI hybrid · Full AI

  • AI short film (Full AI / Hybrid)KRW 5–20M per 30 seconds
  • TV ad scenes, AI VFX compositingFrom KRW 1M per shot, more for complex compositing
  • Brand film, seasonal campaignKRW 20–50M for 60–90 seconds, around KRW 100M for a full package

Live action

Shot with partner directors and quoted by scale.

The final price comes as a quote after we review the plan and its difficulty.

How long does production usually take?

It varies by project scope. Allowing time for review and feedback at each stage, we recommend getting in touch at least 3–4 weeks ahead. Rush production is also available with a rush fee.

When will I get a quote?

We reply within 2–3 business days of your inquiry. If additional reference material is needed to calculate the quote, we will respond within 2–3 business days of receiving it.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Please share the purpose of the video, target channels, expected length, preferred schedule, reference videos and your budget range. Any items not yet decided can be left blank and worked out together during consultation.

2D animation, 3D, live action or AI: which is right for us?

Once we hear your purpose, budget and schedule, we propose the most effective pipeline at the planning stage. Rather than sticking to a single technique, we offer options ranging from traditional production to AI hybrid and Full AI production.

Does AI make it cheaper or faster?

It depends on the project. Visualizing concept art and storyboards, or replacing costly location shoots and heavy VFX compositing, can cut time and budget substantially—and Full AI production is also available for tight budgets and schedules. However, detailed character acting or strict original art styles often work better with traditional animation, so we review the full plan first and build a pipeline that delivers real value for your budget.

How many revisions are included?

One round of revisions per stage (planning, storyboard, production) is included at no extra cost. Additional revisions within the same stage, or changes to a previous stage that has already been approved, incur extra rework charges.

Can AI-made video be used commercially?

Yes. We only use AI tools and models cleared for commercial use, and Airship Studio directly verifies licensing terms before delivery.

Anything not covered here? Add it to your inquiry.

What kind of film do you need?

Share your goal, target schedule, budget range and a few reference videos, and we’ll reply within 2–3 business days. Anything still undecided, we can shape together.
