Terms of use
These terms explain how to use the Alin-Gabriel Busescu website, how information and enquiries are handled, and how these website terms relate to any later transaction. Read them alongside the Privacy policy and the terms provided for a particular product or service. Mandatory consumer protections continue to apply.
1. The professional and this portfolio
Alin-Gabriel Busescu publishes this independent portfolio for explainer storyboard design. The full professional identity and address appear on About and in the footer. These terms explain use of the portfolio and the difference between exploring an example, asking a question and entering a commissioned engagement. No client relationship arises merely from reading these pages or preparing a message. A later agreement should identify the responsible parties and the work accepted. These website terms preserve rights that applicable law gives you and do not rewrite a separately agreed project.
2. Reading the work in context
A storyboard shows an intended sequence of ideas using still frames, captions and timing notes. It helps discuss what an audience should understand before animation is produced. The studies here use invented subjects and simplified frames; they are not completed videos or evidence of a live campaign. An arrow suggests movement but does not actually animate an object. The frame order should be read with the written rationale. Any proposed timing is a creative planning device rather than a tested retention result or a guarantee of viewer comprehension.
3. Opening a production conversation
Give a useful synopsis, intended audience and script stage rather than sending unrestricted access to a production library. Choosing a storyboard interest only organises a draft; it does not book an animator or accept a production schedule. The form shows the draft before you decide whether to open an email application. Confirm that a reply has actually been received before relying on a deadline. If a project is urgent, establish an explicit agreement about the date and the material needed to start.
4. The sequence agreement
A storyboard agreement should identify the script version, scene count, review rounds, presentation format and approval authority. It should also distinguish board development from animation, sound, narration and editing. A new plot or factual correction can affect several scenes; determine how such changes are handled rather than treating them as automatic minor revisions. A written proposal should make payment and licence conditions clear. Nothing on these pages silently changes an accepted production agreement or overrides mandatory legal protections for the actual transaction.
5. Scope and pricing for a real commission
A storyboard quote depends on the script, number of scenes, visual detail, aspect ratios, revision rounds and final handover format. Confirm whether you need thumbnail exploration, a presentation board or a production-ready shot list. Voice recording, animation, music, editing, asset licensing and distribution are not automatically part of a still-board engagement. Agree fees, currency, schedule, approval responsibilities and the treatment of script changes before work starts. The concept studies carry no price and do not reserve production capacity or make a delivery commitment.
6. Original examples and reproduction
The studies One small connection, Another cycle are original, self-initiated exercises with fictional briefs. They demonstrate choices visible in the accompanying artwork and text; they are not commissioned projects, recommendations from customers or evidence of past employment. You may follow the links and discuss an example when enquiring about work. Browsing does not transfer copyright or grant permission to publish an example as your own work. Ask about the intended material, medium, attribution and permission before reproducing any substantial part. Names inside a fictional example do not identify an actual client.
7. Source material, approval and handover
Supply a script and references that you can authorise for the intended project. Identify factual statements, product features and required brand elements that need approval. Before production, check frame continuity, scene numbering, text length and the handover assumptions with the animator or editor. A storyboard can propose movement without guaranteeing that every effect fits a particular software package or budget. The agreed delivery should specify the board file, image sizes, script annotations and whether editable artwork is included. Approval of a board is distinct from approval of a finished video.
8. Content rights and permitted use
Website text, photographs, graphics, trademarks and software may be protected by intellectual property rights belonging to the operator or to third parties. You may view the material and retain copies for your own consideration of the business, subject to applicable law. Reusing protected material commercially, removing attribution or implying that another party's content is yours may require permission from the relevant rights holder. This section does not restrict statutory exceptions, lawful quotation or rights granted by an explicit licence accompanying particular content.
9. Appropriate enquiries
Use the contact route for relevant project discussions, rights questions or corrections. Do not interfere with the website, attempt to obtain another person's information, send unlawful material or pretend to represent someone without authority. The form needs a name, reply email, interest and outline. A broad description is enough to open a conversation; omit confidential attachments and account credentials. Each party should confirm the source of a message before sharing sensitive documents. Access restrictions, if necessary to address misuse, remain subject to applicable law and do not remove contractual or consumer remedies.
10. Compatibility and separate production tools
A still board can be viewed in a browser without proving that it will import into every animation package. Agree the export format and resolution with the people who will use it. The email route, chosen file-transfer service and production software each have their own terms and technical limits. Their fees and licences are separate unless expressly included in the commission. A final film needs its own checks for sound, captions, timing, rights and distribution; the storyboard alone does not certify that work.
11. Problems and dispute information
For an error on the portfolio, quote the page and scene concerned. For a commissioned board, retain the approved script, comments, delivery records and the relevant proposal so that a disagreement can be understood against the actual brief. A remedy may depend on whether the issue concerns an omitted scene, an unapproved change or a subjective direction. These terms promise no universal outcome and waive no protection that the law makes mandatory. Appropriate complaint and dispute procedures remain available for the transaction.
12. Consumer rights and responsibility
Responsibility for website information and for any transaction is assessed under the applicable agreement and law. Nothing in these terms removes mandatory consumer remedies, misrepresentation protections, statutory warranties or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. A business-specific warranty or remedy may apply in addition to those protections. The fact that a transaction occurs after an online enquiry does not itself eliminate rights associated with that transaction. If a question arises about a description, payment or performance, retain the relevant page, correspondence and transaction records.
13. Updates, questions and resolving concerns
The date shown on this page identifies the current published version. Website changes may require an updated explanation of how a feature works. A later revision does not automatically rewrite an earlier agreement or extinguish an existing claim. Use the Contact page to raise a concern and identify the page or transaction involved, the relevant dates and the outcome you are seeking. You remain free to use any complaint, regulatory or dispute resolution channel available under applicable law; contacting the business does not waive those options.
