Our Process
"From script to screen"
Pre-production
Perhaps you have a concept or you’re looking for a dedicated team to take your project to the next level.. We can help... Strategy - We first put a clear strategy, concept and theme for your video. Scriptwriting - Great stories make great videos and movies. In order to do this, we have to create a clear message to be communicated to your targeted audience. Story Board - We put together a visual representation for your video. We allow you to 'see' the vision for your video before we shoot. |
Production
Our writers, directors, producers, and cinematographers are experts at bringing projects to life no matter the scale, platform, genre or budget. Location - We go where the story is and tell the best possible story we can from that location for event videography, but sometimes we have to select the location. This is project dependent. Talent - Do we need it for your project? Voice Overs and / or ambassadors for your brand? If so, we'll get it! Directing - Our Directors knows how to capture your vision, brand, product and event. |
Post-Production
Our in house editing team, coupled with our creative partners allows us to execute most aspects of post production on any project. Editing - Great editing can turn generic footage into a blockbuster. Here's where the time is really spent. Animation - Many of our projects don't require this, but if it helps to explain an idea and can help the look of the video, we use it. Color - Sometimes, additional treatments are made to to affect the tone and feel of a video. Audio - The Final process is adding the music and sound effects to keep your viewers engaged. Licensing - Music, images, talent, footage all comes with rights that need to be managed. Proper licensing enables you brand and distribute your video with peace of mind. Score - Composing original music for your video or movie. |
