So, you want to make a video. Well, you've come to the right place. Storytelling is in our blood, and there's nothing we’re more passionate about than helping others tell their stories. Everything begins with an idea, whether it's a brand identity film, an event video, a tutorial, or anything else, our job is to turn that idea into a reality. First, we'll translate your vision into a proposal that will be the foundation of your video. Once you're confident we’ve captured your vision as clearly as possible, you'll sign a contract and be paired with one of our talented producers to kick off the pre-production process. Your producer will be your main point of contact throughout the whole process, and can answer any questions along the way. During the pre-production phase, we'll work with you to create the blueprints for your video. We'll make sure the branding, the messaging, and the tone of the video are all infused with your organization's DNA. This phase is critical to your video's success, so nothing is overlooked when concepting. Writing, story boarding, scheduling, and even auditioning talent. This attention to detail sets our work apart and guarantees that all systems are go for the big day. Production, our talented cinematographers, directors, and lighting designers, just to name a few, will craft the images that will bring your vision to life. You'll be there, your producer will be there, and by the end of production, we'll have all of the building blocks to begin assembling your video. Cut to post-production. During this third and final stage, our editors, animators, and sound designers will take all of the footage captured in production and use the blueprints laid out in pre-production to construct your visual masterpiece. No detail will go un-inspected as our team trims every frame, colors every shot, and adds all the bells and whistles that will set your video apart from the competition. As your video nears completion, you'll have a chance to review and give us your feedback through our state-of-the-art intuitive proofing platform, so that we can ensure your video puts your organization's best foot forward, and that's it. Once we put the final touches on your video, your idea will have become a living, breathing reality, ready to make its primetime debut. And don't worry, we always store your video away on our super secure backup archive to make sure it's safe, no matter what. As you can see, this process is a fine-tuned machine, and our team is here to guide your through. No matter the vision, the sky is the limit in our book. So, check out our website, or give us a call, and let us help you take your brand to the next level.

Pre-Production

Firstly, every project begins with a simple idea that comes from you. Your brand, your image, your service, whatever you want the project to deliver is where it all begins. 

After you have your idea finalized, we work through a proposal and get the details on paper. With everything laid out in front of you, making last minute adjustments and confirming your vision becomes easier. 

Next, the proposal is drawn up, and then you are matched with a producer who is your point of contact and can answer any questions you have. 

After that, we sit down with you and lay out blueprints infused with your personal style and your organization’s creative DNA. Tasks such as writing, storyboarding, scheduling, and casting talent all take place in this phase. 

Production

Further, we move on to production where our team of cinematographers, directors, lighting directors and many more people work together to bring your vision to life. 

Post-production

Now, we continue to post-production. Here, we take all the footage that has been shot and utilize the blueprints that were laid out at the start to create your perfect vision. Moreover, we clean up the video in a way that makes it stand out with close attention to detail.

After we’ve completed most of the editing, you’ll have a chance to review the video and give us any feedback. We want you and your organization to be completely satisfied with the finished product. 

Finally, once you’ve given us your stamp of approval, your video is finally out there for the world to see.
