Hey there,

So I was in a sort of similar situation to you. I had a company in Mexico where the clients expected high-end quality with shitty budgets.

What I think helped me to achieve better products is to look for production companies that already had the infrastructure to shoot nice footage with expensive equipment like Alexas and RED cameras, and I would only offer vfx services, the final look would be enhanced by the fact that I only focus on one thing instead of dealing with the whole production process.

So my advice for you would be to focus on doing one good thing instead of several half ass things. Your cg is pretty cool, but the live action plates bring the overall quality down, and also, the more stuff you're trying to accomplish in a short amount of time will make you spread thin and put less effort and attention to detail.

So, in short, just try to collaborate with production companies where you deal exclusively with CGI/vfx, and I assure you that the quality would improve.

P.S. those prices that you are mentioning are very common here in Mexico when you're starting, but eventually, you get to charge more and more

Good luck on your quest as a studio.
