Strength and Solidarity LLC
We build video books and audio books for authors — cast, scored, illustrated and cut like film. You wrote the world. We make it visible and audible.
Because when you see that dragon, you know it's strong and solid.
Two vessels
Both are priced from a single honest number: your word count.
10% of word count
A full cinematic rendering of your book — narrated, scored, illustrated scene by scene, cut for screens. This is the format that turns readers into audiences.
A matching audio book edition is included with a video book build.
5% of word count
Your book spoken with intent — performance narration, atmosphere, and an intimacy that a screen cannot reach. Built to the same standard, delivered to every audio platform.
The rates, in the open
Every add-on is priced off your word count, identically on either vessel.
Voices
1%
per two voices, computed on word count. Three voices bill as two blocks.
Sound effects
1%
per five effects. Partial blocks round up to a whole block.
Original score
$1,500
a flat fee for score selection, cutting and mixing — music chosen, timed and mastered scene by scene to your manuscript.
The Arsenal
Invented in this house, for authors who intend to be remembered.
Your cover, animated — it breathes before a word is spoken.
We take the book's cover and give it motion, depth and firelight: a looping cinematic that works as a trailer, a storefront tile, and the first frame of the video book.
Chosen scenes lifted into full cinematic sequence.
Rather than illustrating evenly, we ignite the scenes that decide the book — the confession, the betrayal, the last stand — and build them at trailer quality.
Strike the chapter sigils out. A plain, unbranded cut.
Every build we forge is marked: each chapter receives its own gold sigil and sound signature, struck automatically at no charge, so a listener always knows where they stand in your world with their eyes closed. Some authors want the world bare — no emblems, no chapter fanfare, nothing between the reader and the prose. Removing the marks means re-cutting every chapter head, re-scoring the transitions and re-mastering the seams by hand, and that labour is what this commission pays for.
Every face, every place, every moment — illustrated.
The full illustrated record of your book: character portraits, houses and sigils, and the scenes themselves — the wedding day, the battlefield, the castle on its cliff, the room where it all turned. Rendered in the house style, delivered as high-resolution plates for print and web, as social-ready cards, and as stills cut into the video book itself.
An intimate second mix, recorded close.
A hushed, close-microphone alternate pass of the work — for headphones, for late hours, for the reader who wants your story spoken only to them.
Masters held, versioned, and reforged on demand.
We keep your masters, stems and scene files in the vault so future editions, translations and re-cuts cost you a request instead of a rebuild.
