I reserve the right to decline any commission that I feel does not fit my skill set and/or schedule

Payment will be in USD via Stripe Invoice (credit/debit cards accepted)

Clients must sign a commission agreement (contract) to continue work with me

50% of the commission cost will be required upfront after initial project approval and contract signing but before starting my work

You must have the rights to all assets provided to me for the commission/project

Failing to own or procure the rights to assets (with proper documentation) will result in the commission being cancelled

Refunds will not be given unless I am unable to continue on with the commission

Cancelling the commission after I begin working on it will incur a fee of the remaining commission price + 10% of the total price

Lateness with payments will incur a 5% cost increase of the remaining total for every month late

The commission will be low-res until the final version is approved and final 50% is paid

I will retain the right to display all completed commissions for my portfolio, website, and relevant social media accounts, unless previously discussed

Usage for AI learning or NFT distribution is prohibited

Any time you publish or publicly display my commission(s), please credit my Twitter/Bluesky account (@taestycvke)

Send an email or DM detailing the scope and timeline of the project, as well as including all files and assets

I will respond to commission requests within 1 week of receiving the initial request

If I accept the commission, I will determine a final price and email a quote of the total commission price as well as the commission agreement to review

If you wish to continue with my services, I will begin preliminary project planning and invoice the first 50% of the total commission

If you can no longer commission me, you can decline to continue before I begin work for no cost

Commissions may take 1 week to a few months depending on the scale and complexity of the project (schedules will be discussed with client)

Companies and corporations will have a "corporate fee" of +25% of the total cost added to the commission price

WIPs will be sent periodically throughout the process and upon request

Any major revisions after 75% completion will incur extra fee(s) that we will discuss. Please note making major revisions may also extend the final deadline

Minor revisions are allowed at any stage for no cost

Before the final version is rendered, I'll send a low-res, watermarked version for final review

The final 50% of the commission price will be invoiced once the low-res version is approved

A deliverables package of the full-res MP4 and MOV versions of the final video will be sent after final approval

There will be no revisions after the final, full-res version is sent

WIPs will be sent on a per version basis after each round of notes (i.e. v1, v2, v3, etc.)

The final 50% of the commission price will be invoiced once the final version is approved

A deliverables package consisting of the final full-res version, a clean full-res version (without music/sfx/graphics), and graphics-only version will be sent after final approval

There will be no revisions after the final version is sent

Video Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro

To prevent any stalling or delays with completing a commission, I require that all assets (music/audio, images, backgrounds, etc) you send are the final, ready to publish versions. In progress audio files are OKAY, as long as the timing is finalized. If you don't have all files ready, I can put you on standby on a waitlist until they're ready to go.

Rush orders are commissions with a very tight deadline. For music videos and trailers/PVs, a rush order is a project with a deadline of less than 30 days. For video editing, a rush order is a deadline of less than 14 days for more complex projects (long compilations, skits/sketches, projects with many effects, edited/curated cutdowns, etc) and less than 5 days for shorter or simpler projects (clipping from a stream, trimming a VOD, etc).

If unsure, rush order status can be discussed during the initial project planning stage.
