Prior Experience
With over ten years experience in the tech and media industry (from film to information systems to animation and music composition), we have utilized our strengths and love for narrative stories to produce an array of different projects: an in-house feature film (‘Saving Savanna’), short films, and commercials, and more! Our films have shown at national film festivals, and our commercials have aired on national TV. We pride ourselves on our ‘story first’ approach, and our ability to get to the heart of our clients’ brands, ideas, and companies.
You can contact us at anytime; however, we recommend that you hire us as early as possible to make full use of our experience and expertise.
We understand that every project is different; thus we may be required to utilize different approaches. What’s needed for one person’s commercial, may not be needed for another (and the same goes for feature films, short films, and any other video). With that being said, all of our services include our four-phase production process (with adjustments being made as needed): Development, Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. We provide a crew for every project— with size depending on the budget of the project— and transparency as the production progresses. Essentially, we partner with you to create the best project within the proposed budget (and we’ll also give you our advice along the way).
NOTE: Publishing (or Distribution) will be discussed depending on the client’s needs.
Anything that will give us an idea of the film, commercial, or video that you want shot. If you’re looking to hire us to be your production company for your feature film and you’re farther along in the process, then we ask that you bring with you the pitch deck, concept, official receipt or promissory note indicating any funding you’ve already secured, any cast you’ve already secured, etc.
If you’re hiring us from the very beginning (and don’t have a script), then we will direct you to our ghostwriting services. From there, we will be able to work with you to create the script that you desire.
If you already have a script ready to be filmed— after we’ve already expressed an interest to sign on to your project— we’ll email you the the list of information needed to get started, and what to bring to our first meeting.
Determining a final budget for your video depends on a number of variables including complexity of the creative approach, number of shooting days, size of crew and equipment package, turnaround time, and a host of other cost-affecting factors. We’ve produced projects from $8,000 to $500,000+ and everything in between.
Note: It is worth noting – price shopping for video is not the same as car shopping. Every producer / production company uses different pricing structures and implements various levels of personnel and equipment making ‘video shopping’ truly can be a ‘you get what you pay for’ endeavor. In other words, the more you put into production value (set design, costuming, props, talent level, etc.), the better the video will look.
Broadly speaking, the video / film production process is split into three phases: Pre-production, Production, and Post-Production.
Pre-production: This is the phase we learn all about your business. We’ll also begin to define what it is you need from your video / film. Some of the questions we might ask are: Who is your target audience? What platforms do you want to publish on? What are the key messages you want to communicate? What is your intent / purpose for the video? Will it be evergreen?
Production: Or ‘filming.’ This is what most people think of when they talk about creating videos. We’ll have our crew capture all the required footage – such as interviews, event footage, product demonstrations, narrative, etc. We might film at your premises or at some other locations relevant to the video message.
Post-production: Once we’ve captured all the footage, we’ll get to work on the edit. This is where we craft the footage into a coherent narrative, and where we add graphics, titles, effects, and music as appropriate. You’ll have chance to review one or more drafts (depending on the scope) and give feedback before everything is finalized.
