Working with Dardo from Lille
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Lille remotely: there is no Dardo office in Lille. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal.
Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. Lille is 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 7 hours ahead of Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Lille shares 1–2 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá.
A project starts with a brief through the contact form, by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name.
Quotes are in US dollars, per scope, with no minimum budget. Pricing explains how a quote is built.
What a product launch video project includes
A launch video project covers the story, the motion and every file the launch needs. The proposal says which of these are in scope and who supplies screens, copy, access to a staging build and approvals.
- A script and storyboard written from your product's real screens and states
- Motion built in code from your interface, or recorded from the live product
- Typography and on-screen text in your brand, readable with the sound off
- Sound: music and effects, and a voice-over when the story needs one
- A master, plus cuts for each aspect ratio, length and language
- Captions, posters and export notes for your site, social feeds, ads and app stores
The motion design service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.

Questions before you choose
Does Dardo have an office in Lille?
No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Lille remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish.
What is the time difference between Lille and Bogotá?
Lille is 6 hours ahead of Bogotá in January and 7 hours ahead of Bogotá in July. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Lille shares 1–2 working hours with ours.
How much does motion design cost with Dardo?
Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
How much does a product launch video cost?
It depends on the length, the number of scenes, whether the motion is built in code or recorded from the product, the sound and voice-over, and how many versions you need. We haven't published a price for this service: we quote after a first conversation, with script, production, sound and versions on separate lines you can compare with other quotes.
How long should a product launch video be?
As long as the place it plays allows. App Store previews run 15 to 30 seconds, LinkedIn recommends 15 to 30 seconds for its feed placements, and Google Play may autoplay the first 30 seconds muted. Superame's commercial runs 28.8 seconds. One storyboard can plan a short cut for feeds and a longer one for the landing page from the same scenes.
