Field Guide N°01 · QERAT 2026 · Production Roadmap

QERAT 2026,
charted.

A clear roadmap of how we get from this conversation to a finished campaign by mid-July. Just over two months of focused work, one Paris shoot day in June, one creative vision built together — phase by phase.

Target ceiling
~27,000€
First commitment
6,000€
Final delivery
Mid-July

This week,
we begin.

We don't lock the full project budget in one go. We start with a focused creative phase — together, we explore the directions, the worlds, the tonal range that QERAT 2026 could live in.

Once a direction is locked, the rest of the production scope is built around it. The total may sit close to the target ceiling, or land slightly higher if the direction calls for it. No surprises — every step is transparent.

Phase I · Creative concept
Concept development.
We build 2-3 distinct creative directions for the campaign — including the narrative for the four universes. Moodboards, scripts, key visual references, casting direction, and a final recommendation on which world QERAT should commit to. This phase is exploratory by design — it's where the campaign truly takes shape.

The investment.

N°05 · Phased commitment

Phased, transparent.

The first commitment is small and focused — Phase I, the creative phase, payable this week to start work immediately. The full project budget is built progressively as the creative direction takes shape.

The figure on the right is a target ceiling we'll work toward together. Depending on the creative direction we lock in Phase I, the final scope may sit close to it or land slightly higher if the chosen direction calls for additional production means. No surprises — every shift is discussed openly before it happens.

Phase I — Creative concept · Due this week 6,000€
Phase II — Pre-production scoped post-Phase I
Phase III — Paris shoot (1 day) scoped post-Phase I
Phase IV — AI production & post scoped post-Phase I
Phase V — Final delivery scoped post-Phase I
Target ceiling ~27,000€
As QERAT is established outside the European Union, no French VAT is applicable on this engagement (CGI article 259-1). Phase I payable on signature. Phases II-V scoped together at the end of the creative phase, with payments aligned to milestones.
