Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.00117c956b582ead ## Before estimating a hybrid film The published starting guide is RUB 1,800,000. The final estimate follows the script, shoot plan, CGI and AI work, compositing, sound, versions, schedule, rights and licences. Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.28b2dea9ccfc08a0 ## How does it affect cost? Shoot days, CGI complexity, AI iterations and compositing drive the estimate. The shot plan assigns each method only where its control is required. Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.3baafc4a3b2025fe ## Budget, rights and deliverables are set before production The estimate lists scenes, methods, approvals, duration and delivery files. Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.549155b9d30f5ec5 ## Hybrid production from RUB 1,800,000 Shoot days, CGI, AI iterations, compositing, sound, version count and schedule shape the final estimate. See the confirmed format-level pricing guides . Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.59a2f3c5e0219dd3 ## Before estimating a hybrid film Not automatically. Hybrid production can avoid using an expensive method where it adds no value, but the estimate still depends on shoot days, CGI complexity, AI iterations, compositing, duration and versions. Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.b21b4a85e7164624 ## Hybrid production across live action, CGI and AI BUDGET from RUB 1,800,000 Passage ID: passage.route.4f51c9061d1cc2f8dbfe.budget_timeline.f2a319a7bdc390de ## Before estimating a hybrid film Send the task, audience, channels, desired duration, deadline, available brand materials and visual references. That is enough to compare methods and outline the first scope.
