PRODUCTION TIERS

Every Book Has a Film Inside It. Choose Its Scale.

Five production tiers. One cinematic standard. Whether you're an indie author testing the screen for the first time or a publisher building a campaign asset for a flagship title, there is a tier built precisely for what your book needs.

FULL HD OR 4K   •   LIP-SYNCED DIALOGUE   •   ORIGINAL SCORE   •   DELIVERED IN AS LITTLE AS ONE WEEK

THE FILMS

Transparent Pricing. No Suprises.

Every tier includes the complete production package — screen adaptation, cinematic animation, lip-synced character voices, narration, original instrumental score, and sound design. What changes between tiers is runtime and scale, not quality.

Spark

"The opening act."

$1,995

~2 MINUTES   •   Full HD   •   1 WEEK DELIVERY

The Spark is where most books begin their screen life. At roughly two minutes and twenty scenes, it is a complete cinematic short — not a teaser, not a summary, but a fully produced animated film that captures the emotional arc of your story with economy and precision.

It is the right scale for a picture book, a tightly written early reader, or any author who wants to see their work on screen before committing to a longer production. It is also the most immediate — delivered in a single week from manuscript to final file.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Full manuscript screen adaptation · Cinematic animation · Lip-synced character dialogue · Custom narration · Original instrumental score · Sound design · Your choice of animation style or original illustration preservation · MP4 delivery in Full HD

Spotlight

"The full introduction."

$3,495

3-5 MINUTES   •   Full HD   •   2 WEEKS DELIVERY

The Spotlight gives a story room to breathe. At three and a half minutes, there is space for a proper opening, a developed middle act, and an ending that lands with weight. Characters establish themselves. The world of the book takes shape. The audience has time to care.

This is the most popular tier for picture books with strong visual storytelling and for early chapter books where the narrative has distinct emotional beats worth preserving on screen. It is also the preferred entry point for publishers who want a film asset with genuine campaign reach.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Full manuscript screen adaptation · Cinematic animation · Lip-synced character dialogue · Custom narration · Original instrumental score · Sound design · Your choice of animation style or original illustration preservation · MP4 delivery in Full HD

Showreel

"The versatile standard."

$4,995

5-8 MINUTES   •   Full HD   •   3 WEEKS DELIVERY

Five minutes is the length of a short film that gets programmed, screened, shared, and remembered. The Showreel is the studio's most versatile production tier — substantial enough to adapt a longer picture book or early chapter novel in full, cinematic enough to represent the work at events, in classrooms, and on retail and distribution platforms.

At fifty scenes, every narrative beat has room to exist as its own visual moment. No compression. No summary. The story moves the way the author intended it to move — scene by scene, with the patience that good animation rewards.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Full manuscript screen adaptation · Cinematic animation · Lip-synced character dialogue · Custom narration · Original instrumental score · Sound design · Your choice of animation style or original illustration preservation · MP4 delivery in Full HD

Feature

"The publisher's asset."

$9,995

10-15 MINUTES   •   4K   •   1 MONTH DELIVERY

The Feature is a publisher-grade production asset. At ten minutes and one hundred scenes, it adapts a chapter book or short novel with the depth and pacing of a genuine short film — the kind that holds a classroom audience, runs on a library screen, earns a place on a school's curriculum resource page, and lives on a publisher's promotional channel for years.

Delivered in 4K, the Feature is built for broadcast-quality distribution. It is the tier that turns a book launch into a media event and a backlist title into a rediscovered one.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Full manuscript screen adaptation · Cinematic animation · Lip-synced character dialogue · Custom narration · Original instrumental score · Sound design · Your choice of animation style or original illustration preservation · 4K MP4 delivery

Premiere

"The complete adaptation."

$19,995

20-30 MINUTES   •   4K   •   2 MONTHS DELIVERY

The Premiere is the full adaptation. Twenty minutes. Two hundred scenes. 4K resolution. A complete book-to-screen cinematic experience that functions as a standalone animated film in its own right — suitable for streaming, theatrical screening, film festival submission, educational licensing, and long-term brand extension for any title with lasting commercial relevance.

This is not a marketing asset. It is a film. One that happens to begin with your book.

Reserved for publishers and authors with titles that warrant the full treatment — series launches, anniversary editions, award-nominated works, or any story that has always deserved a wider screen.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Full manuscript screen adaptation · Cinematic animation · Lip-synced character dialogue · Custom narration · Original instrumental score · Sound design · Your choice of animation style or original illustration preservation · 4K MP4 delivery

FINDING YOUR TIER

How Long Should Your Film Be?

Picture Book

(18-32 pages | 300-800 words)

Showreel • Spotlight • Spark

Early Reader

(32-64 pages | 500-1,500 words)

Showreel • Spotlight • Spark

Chapter Book

(80-150 pages | 10K-30K words)

Feature • Showreel • Spotlight • Spark

Middle Grade Novel

(150-250 pages | 20K-50K words)

Premiere • Feature • Showreel • Spotlight • Spark

In general, Spark, Spotlight, and Showreel are available for any children's book regardless of page count or word count. Feature and Premiere are available for chapter books and short novels for middle grade only. These tiers require sufficient prose content to sustain a longer runtime and are not recommended for picture books or early readers.

The right production tier depends on how much of your story you want on screen and at what depth. Page count and word count provide a reliable starting point. The table below provides a quick reference for matching a book's format to the most appropriate production tier.

Page count and word count are reliable starting points but do not account for every variable. Where the source material warrants a different tier than initially selected — due to narrative density, pacing, or the scope of visual development required — the studio will communicate this through the storyboard and give a recommendation before full production begins.

Not sure which tier fits your book?

Send us your manuscript. We'll tell you exactly which film to make.

Upload your manuscript and we will review it and respond within one business day with a specific tier recommendation — and the reasons behind it. No obligation. No sales pressure. Just a direct answer from the studio that will make your film.

We respond within one business day. Your manuscript is reviewed by the studio team only and is never shared or retained beyond the recommendation process.

SCREEN ADAPTATION

The manuscript is not animated — it is adapted. Narrative passages become scenes. Scenes become visual storytelling sequences built for the rhythm and attention of a screen audience.

CHARACTER VOICE DESIGN

Every speaking character receives a distinct, custom voice — cast and directed for tone, age, and personality. Lip-sync is frame-accurate throughout.

ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTAL SCORE

Each film receives a composed score written for its specific emotional arc — not a licensed track, not a library loop. Music that belongs to this story and no other.

ANIMATION STYLES - YOUR CHOICE

Eight established animation styles are available at no additional cost. You may also preserve your book's original illustration style. The visual identity of your film is your decision.

PRODUCTION STANDARD

The Same Craft. Every Tier

The difference between a Spark and a Premiere is runtime. The production standard does not change. Every film produced by BookFilms.TV is built from the manuscript up — restructured for screen, animated with cinematic discipline, and delivered as a complete work.

There are no stripped-down versions. There are no entry-level shortcuts. The Spark at $999 receives the same screen adaptation process, the same voice design approach, and the same scoring attention as the Premiere at $9,999. Scale changes. Standards do not.

AVAILABLE LANGUAGES

Your Story Travels.

Additional language versions are available for every production tier. Each version is a full lip-synced adaptation — not a subtle overlay, not a dubbed track cut to the original timing. A production.

CHINESE  •  SPANISH  •  HINDI  •  PORTUGUESE  •  FRENCH  •  GERMAN  •  JAPANESE  •  ARABIC  •  RUSSIAN  •  KOREAN  •  INDONESIAN  •  ITALIAN  •  DUTCH  •  TURKISH  •  POLISH  •  SWEDISH  •  FILIPINO  •  MALAY  •  ROMANIAN  •  UKRAINIAN  •  GREEK  •  CZECH  •  DANISH  •  FINNISH  •  BULGARIAN  •  CROATIAN  •  SLOVAK  •  TAMIL

Upon final delivery, the author or publisher holds full commercial ownership of all materials — the animated film, any trailers, the score, the voiceover recordings, and every production component. There are no licensing fees, no usage restrictions, no royalty structures. You may use the output for marketing, advertising, retail platforms, social media, theatrical presentation, educational licensing, or any other commercial purpose, without limitation and without further payment to BookFilms.TV.

A publisher logo may be included in the film or trailer upon request.

All deliverables are provided as MP4 and PNG files via Google Drive or Proton Drive.
