Free Consultation
In the Evaluation Call we'll cover the following:
- Video Type
- Project Goals
- Essential Details
Successful projects are built on a foundation of shared alignment between our team and yours.
Then We Formalize Our Working Relationship
If both of our teams see a fit between your vision and our ability to meet your needs our team will generate a quote and standardized agreement for your review. Once you've signed and submitted your deposit, 1/3 of your initial quote, we'll be ready to move forward.
What Comes Next:
Video Project Launch Meeting
The most important meeting of the project lays the foundation for our creative process and strategic goals. In this meeting we'll cover:
- Project Timeline
- Initial Shoot Logistics
- Video Story & Strategy
Once we're aligned, we'll start preparations for our shoot.
Pre-Production Phase & Check-ins
Create Video Script & The Project Outline
Pre-production is where our team starts building the guiding elements of your video. This includes your creating video's script, project outline (similar to a storyboard), and shot list.
Review Project Vision & Our Approach Plan
The next step is for you and your team to review the script, outline, and shot list and request any needed changes. We'll also help you refine your feedback into what's best for the final video.
Submit & Approve Your Video Media Assets
Finally, the last step is to submit your company's brand assets like logo, color palette, and any essential graphics for the video. We'll also send you some music samples for you to approve.
Production Prep Meeting
Our shoot kickoff meetings are typically a lot of fun. Often these can be a simple 30-minute video call. In the prep meeting we'll confirm arrival times, the day's schedule, and where to set up our gear for the production shoot.
Production Shoot
Each Production Shoot typically includes capturing primary footage for the core story, subject matter interviews, b-roll, and aerial footage when applicable. While there may be cases where we deviant from the norm, we approach shoots in a relatively systematized way in order to ensure the quality of the deliverable.
Post-Production Phase & Check-ins
Interview Footage
Before we create the first draft it's often important that your team selects your favorite cuts from interview, sometimes called "A-Roll" footage, to help guide what makes it into the final video.
Rough Cut
The rough cut is an unpolished draft without music, graphics, or other finishing touches. We send this over prior to the review phase to ensure the 1st true draft aligns with our shared vision.
Polish & Audio
After we've been given the green-light for the rough cut, we'll proceed with adding all of the details and adjustments needed to turn raw footage into a high-quality deliverable.
Draft Review Phase
Once post-production is complete, and the 2nd of the three deposits is made, we'll be ready to begin the review process. We want to emphasis that we only submit drafts at this stage that meet our standard of quality. The purpose of the review phase is to ensure that the finished product meets your unique needs.
1st Draft Review
While we aim to deliver a perfect video on the first round, that's often not the case. When reviewing the first draft, think to yourself:
- Is there a clear purpose behind the video?
- Will the view understand what to do next?
- Is there anything in it that doesn't belong?
2nd Draft Review
Many of our clients are happy with what they receive after the 1st draft revisions.
In case it needs a few more tweaks, please note: this will be your lost chance to make any substantial changes to your video before incurring an increase to your final bill, so make sure you completely review this draft to ensure that it meets your vision for the project.
