Striking Steps How the Process Works

Pre Production
The process is basically the same whether we are working with a corporation, a nonprofit, an entrepreneur or producing a virtual gala or an animation. We firmly believe that the best video production comes from good planning. It all launches with a Discovery Call or coffee where you talk and we listen. We are thinking about every aspect of the production at this stage, whether it’s videography, animation or photography. Are we filming on location or in a studio? What equipment is required? What does our client need from us to make this experience fun and fruitful.

Script writing
Many clients ask who will write the script or the interview questions and that depends on the project. We love shaping the story, asking pointed questions to get the answers that will resonate with our audience, but if our client has a penchant for writing, we’re happy to share that task! Because of this, we love to talk to our interviewees ahead of time, building rapport and trust so that when the cameras are rolling, the stories flow.

Production
When filming day comes around, all the pieces of the puzzle are in place so it’s just a question of following our planning and hitting the record button! Communications will be led by the onsite producer / director – one voice between the videography / photography team and the Client to ensure everything is clear. We even provide make up and styling services to ensure our Clients feel on their A game. And expect to hear a bit of Dolly Parton music to set the mood!

Editing
The magic of the production – where we make our clients shine – happens later. The editor will collate the best content and submerge into a world of color correction, audio mastering, and design. We have a whole suite of musical and visual libraries that can compliment any story. If you want to let your imagination run wild we can create beautiful animations to bring your messaging to life!

Follow up
Sending the work off to our Client is a moment of joy where we get to share the fruits of our labor. We offer two reviews – coming through one voice on the Client’s end – to ensure smooth communication. Follow up calls can be scheduled and the icing on the cake is when the Client gives us that much valued 5* Google Business Profile Review!!!!
