Frequently Asked Questions.
I am too shy to act..
Oh, no, please don't act ;-) It is true that a Shotstory is cinematic. But we make sure it looks and feels truthful. You just be natural. We'll sponge up the best of your
personality—truthfully and delightfully.
How much do you charge?
Please don't worry about charges. We customise the rates according to your needs. Please call our Client Manager at + 91 98955 20955 or email us at josh@earthopia.co
I want it in my native language.
Lovely! Shotstory can be dubbed in any language. You only need to speak in yours.
Just tell us in which language or languages you need your film.
Can it be instead about my brand?
Sure. We can build our narrative either around a person or around a brand. Either the case, we will ensure you get an engaging film endearing to viewers all over the world.
Will you also promote my film on socials?
We are good at creating. Promotion & marketing are not our strengths. However, we can arrange competent third parties to promote your portrait film on social media or websites.
