Frequently Asked Questions
See our blog for more helpful info!
What kinds of projects do you produce?
We absolutely love creating Branded Films for clients, because we feel it's the best place for any business to start with video. We also love producing Product Films, Short Docs, Social Media Ads, Tutorials, and any other branded video content for web or social media.
Who do you work with?
We work with clients from all different industries, from home builders and furniture designers to financial groups and oil companies. The one thing all of our clients have in common is a passion for what they do and helping their customers.
What is your process?
Great question! The typical process is broken up into 3 phases:
1. Pre-Production. This is the planning phase and consists of everything that happens before we shoot. This is the phase where we need your input the most. We will work together to create the storyline and shot list for the project, and plan everything else, from budget and scheduling to locations and interview questions. The goal is to have a complete idea of what the film will be before we shoot.
2. Production. The fun phase! This is when the shooting takes place, which will likely occur over a few different days at a few different locations. Time to relax and let the team do our thing. All the planning we did in Pre-Production pays off here.
3. Post-Production. The hard work for you is over! Now it's time for our team to get to work editing all of the footage we captured. We will put together a First Draft of your film and after that, there are typically 2 rounds of edits to make sure your final film is exactly what you want. Your final files will be delivered via Dropbox.
How much does it cost?
Each project varies based on the scope of work and deliverables, but a typical project is usually $3000-$5000.
How do I choose a location?
If your office, studio or workplace is well-lit and well-decorated, then that is usually a great option! The key is to make sure the background matches the tone and look of the project. Another important factor is sound - if we are shooting an interview, then we need to make sure there isn't too much background noise. Studio rentals are a great option, and I'd be happy to send a list of locations that would be suitable for your project.
What is a typical project timeline?
A normal project timeline is about 10 weeks from booking to final delivery. Pre-Production takes 3-4 weeks, Production takes 3-4 days, and Post-Production takes 4-6 weeks (4 weeks for a First Draft, 2 weeks for edits).
Do you work alongside photographers?
We love photographers! However, it is usually best to book photography and videography on separate days. Video and photo teams work at different paces and also may shoot with different lighting needs.
Can I receive the raw footage OR have our own team edit it?
No - we do not offer raw footage, and all editing is done in-house.
