GHD Studio: lyric videos shaped around the music.
For artists, bands, labels and A&R teams who want a real production partner, a clear budget and a visual direction that fits the release.
GHD Studio has worked with music since 2012. Our broader studio portfolio spans more than 2,300 music clips, with projects involving artists and labels such as Armada Music, Warner Records, Morgan Page and Kiesza. We make custom lyric videos, animated music videos and connected visual assets for releases.
A lyric video starts with the track and the artist behind it. We consider the pace of each vocal line, the energy between sections, existing cover art and the identity the artist wants to carry into the release. The result can be simple and release-ready or a more elaborate piece with new artwork, changing scenes and original animation. Our portfolio includes electronic, pop, rock, metal, rap and country work.
We work directly with the people commissioning the video. The brief covers the final audio and lyrics, artwork, references, release date and required formats. From there, we agree the visual approach, show the direction early, share an animated preview and refine the full video before delivery. The scope and review stages are confirmed for each project.

ViewManiac
ViewManiac, now presented as VM Agency, offers four publicly priced lyric-video packages from Silver to Diamond. Its site also covers artist promotion, PR and release design. That makes it a relevant option when the video is one part of a broader campaign. Compare the actual scope of each package, including scene changes and deliverables, before choosing a tier.

Madrid-based producer José Villaescusa offers lyric videos for bands, solo artists and labels. His service page describes both bespoke visual design and adapted templates, with lyrics synchronised to the music and options that range from 2D animation to mixed techniques. It also shows several published examples, including a lyric video for Joaquín Sabina.
The site lists indicative prices of €400–500 for Basic, €500–750 for Advanced and €750–1,200 for Lyric Pro. The final quote depends on the song, design and required versions; the production schedule and revisions are agreed for the brief. This is a useful comparison if you want to see how a Madrid-based producer scales the visual treatment to different budgets.

351 Studio presents lyric videos alongside music videos, social content, branded films and visual effects. Its lyric-video page shows a substantial music-focused portfolio and invites custom enquiries, while the wider studio site also describes AI-assisted production. If you are commissioning a lyric video, ask which techniques the specific team proposes and how they will use your artwork, footage and artist identity. A project quote is needed for pricing.
VIEW OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO SERVICEMotion for Music
Motion for Music groups lyric videos with visualizers and other motion-led music formats. Its case studies show how visual work can extend from a track into a wider release campaign. It is a useful studio to examine when you need several coordinated assets rather than one isolated upload. Its public pages direct visitors to discuss the scope and budget.
VIEW OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO WORKHow to choose a lyric video company for your release.
A reel can tell you whether you like the motion. A clear brief and quote tell you whether the production will work for your release date. Ask every studio the same questions so you can compare like with like.
- Watch complete videos. Check whether lyrics remain readable through quiet verses, fast phrases and the final chorus.
- Define the visual scope. Will the team animate your existing cover, design new artwork, build multiple scenes or create character animation?
- Confirm the review process. Find out when you will see the concept and moving preview, and how many revisions the price includes.
- List every deliverable. Specify the main video, aspect ratios, 1080p or higher export, vertical cutdowns, thumbnails and whether source files are included.
- Share the release date early. A realistic schedule should leave room for your feedback and final approval, not just the first draft.
For GHD Studio, you can start with our lyric video packages and process, then send us the project. We will recommend a production level that fits the track rather than asking you to buy complexity you do not need.

How much does a professional lyric video cost?
Prices vary widely with visual scope. In this comparison, GHD Studio publicly lists four starting levels from $99 to $1,000+, ViewManiac lists packages from $299 to $1,250+, and José Villaescusa lists indicative lyric-video ranges from €400–500 to €750–1,200. Other studios in this guide ask for a brief before quoting. Confirm deliverables and revisions alongside the price.
What should I send to a lyric video production company?
Send the final audio, accurate final lyrics, artist name, release date, cover art or brand guidelines, and any visual references. Say where the video will appear and whether you need social versions. If the music is unreleased, ask how the studio handles private files.
Is a lyric video maker the same as a production studio?
The terms overlap in search results, but the workflow can differ. Some makers offer a self-serve template; a production studio normally develops the design and animation for a specific release. Check the portfolio and quote to understand what is actually custom.
Can a lyric video be part of a wider release campaign?
Yes. A main lyric video can share typography, colours and artwork with vertical clips, teasers, Canvas loops and other release assets. Ask the studio to scope those pieces together so the visual identity stays consistent.
Which company is best for my music?
Choose based on the work you want, budget, deadline and the way you prefer to collaborate. This guide lists public offers; it cannot replace reviewing full videos and discussing your specific song with the people who will make it.
