What kinds of services does Northstar Motion Studio offer?

Northstar Motion Studio focuses on digital production work such as video production, motion design, branded content, and design support. The team typically helps shape ideas from concept through to final delivery, so the service can cover planning, visual development, production, and post-production depending on the project.

What is usually included in a project scope with Northstar Motion Studio?

A project scope generally includes a clear brief, creative direction, production planning, the agreed deliverables, and the revisions covered before final handover. Depending on the brief, this can also include scripting, filming, editing, animation, design assets, and export files formatted for web, social, or other digital channels.

How do you usually price a video or digital production project?

Pricing is typically based on the scope, the amount of planning and production needed, and the level of editing or design involved. A shorter social video with a simple setup will usually cost less than a campaign that includes script support, filming, motion graphics, and multiple deliverables.

What can change the final quote for a project?

The final fee can change depending on factors like project length, number of shoot days, location requirements, revision rounds, and whether extra design, animation, or content formatting is needed. If you already have a clear brief and assets ready, that can help keep the quote more focused and practical.

How can I contact Northstar Motion Studio, and what information should I include in my first message?

You can get in touch by email or through the contact form on the website. It helps to share a short outline of your project, the type of digital, video, design, or content support you need, and your preferred timeline so the team can respond more efficiently.

Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or your organisation.
Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the satisfaction of legal, accounting, reporting, and contractual requirements.

The retention period depends on factors such as:

the nature of the data and the purpose of processing;
the duration of our relationship with you or your organisation;
legal limitation periods and statutory retention obligations;
applicable tax, accounting, and commercial record-keeping requirements;
whether a longer period is necessary for dispute resolution or enforcement of rights.

When data is no longer required, we will delete it securely or anonymise it so that it can no longer identify you, unless retention is required or permitted by law.

9. Withdrawal of consent

Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
