The Backbone LabPackagesBrand identity

Package 3 of 3

Your own cast.
Your own look.

Your models and look rules, reused in every shoot.

The problem

When the faces change every campaign, the brand changes with them. Customers remember whoever was booked, not you.

Instead

With us the faces stay. Every later campaign and ad starts from the same approved cast and the same written look rules.

The system

A cast that stays.
A look that repeats.

The offer

Same face.

Questions

Asked before
every project.

Anything else? The guide bottom right answers, or writes the mail for you.

Which models do you use?

We set one or more fixed models. You approve the cast separately before we continue with the product images.

What is an image pipeline?

A fixed sequence of steps that turns references into reliably identical images: references, generation, check against the reference, selection and retouch, then motion.

Is anything published without us?

No. Nothing is published before you approve it. You get the files in full resolution.

How many changes can we ask for?

Yes. Two refinement rounds for style and mood per image category are included, for example product shots on a grey background.

How do we pay?

Half when you commission, half on delivery.

What does it cost?

Prices are on request. Tell us briefly what you need and we answer in writing with a quote. You can start with four free test images.
