How it works
Mitch Mametsa, founder and creative director of Motion Dept
Mitch Mametsa Founder & Creative Director

Architecture first. Always.

Before the films,
there were
floor plans.

An architectural draughting background. A considered eye for materials, proportion and the decisions behind the images.

Mitch founded Motion Dept to bring that understanding into visual storytelling—helping people see the character of a project, not just its surfaces.

Good questions

Before we begin.

Everything you need to take the next step.

All questions
Can I order stills or a presentation PDF without a film?

Yes. Refined stills are available in sets of 4, 10 or 20 images. Branded presentation PDFs are available in 6, 12 or 20 pages. Each can be commissioned independently, with two consolidated revision rounds within the agreed scope.

What is in the Project Launch Suite?

A 90-second cinematic film, 10 refined still exports and a 12-page branded presentation PDF for one property and shared creative direction. The suite starts at $12,500 USD for production-ready sources. Two consolidated revision rounds are included. At the base scope, the deposit is $6,250, with the balance due before clean final delivery.

What do you need from me?

For a 60-second film, start with around 4–8 strong renders showing distinct views. Send original-resolution files, the current plans if available, your logo and a short note about the audience and deadline. We review everything before quoting. Longer films need enough source coverage to sustain the story.

Can you work from floor plans or a 3D model?

Yes, subject to review. Plans help us understand the layout but do not show every finish or elevation. Plans-only work needs a separately quoted visualization stage. A usable model may support new views, but preparation, materials and exports are scoped separately.

Do I need to book a call?

No. Send a project link and a few details. We can review, quote and agree the creative direction by email. A call is available when it would help.
