Unsurpringly it’s impossible to give a standard amount of time to produce video content, because it really depends on what you’re trying to make. That said, it might be worth knowing how we typically approach projects.
Pre-production. The first step is often the most important. Here we definine your vision and negotiate what is achievable within the budget. We will work with you to storyboard and script your idea, and then work through a project plan to see if we need additional crew, specialists, or anything else you might want. This gives us a production timeline to work to. Of course, this initial stage could be extremely simple if we’re working towards a live event or you want some more natural ‘in the moment’ material.
Casting. This may be very simple or challenging. Finding the right people with the right on-screen charisma matters so this step could be as straightforward as you telling us who is going to be in your film to a much more involved casting and screen testing process. We can facilitate this entirely bringing you the most promising talent with you having as much involvement as you want.
Location scouting. Much like casting, the setting of the film can make or break it from the viewers perspective. We work with you to find the right place to shoot that is both beautiful and technically viable. We have a great network of people, businesses, and locations that might be able to help keep very ambitious ideas affordable. Whatever you’re after, we will do everything in our power to make it happen.
Principle Photography. This is where it happens. We set the plan in motion, bring the cast, the crew, and the location together and put your scenes on film. Whilst this is the most critical stage, it can often be one of the shortest!
Post-production. One of the longest stages of the process. Here we take all the footage, the soundtrack, the voice-overs and build it into a coherant product. We’ll apply specialist techniques to give your material a truly professional shine. If required, this is where we will weave in special effects. We’ll bring you on this journey with us, as we craft each scene we’ll present it to you for comments and make the changes you want until eventually you have the movie that was in your head from the start.
Now this seems like a very long, drawn out process but it really does depend on what you are trying to create. We have completed this whole process in a matter of days for short or simple projects, from the initial pre-production conversation through to the final showing. But, a feature lenght film could talk over a year to produce. The key thing is that this is in your control and it’s our job to keep things on track to make the movie you want.
We shoot with state of the art equipment to guarentee the best possible products.
Our main camera is the Netflix authorised Sony FX3. We use Godox light solutions, Zhiyun stabilization, Feelworld monitoring, and Neewer & Smallrig hardware.
