PROJECT TIMELINE
An in depth view
-
Once you've decided to move forward with your video, email us a description of the project along with any specific goals you hope to reach.
This is also a great time to indicate any schedule deadlines you have.
-
This meeting is intended to help us fully understand the scope of the project. We want to know what your brand is all about to ensure we craft a video that fits your aesthetic and vibe.
We also craft our videos with results in mind, so through this meeting we'll get a better idea of what goals you're looking to meet through this video.
Check out our Creative Brief Guide to help you prepare for the meeting.

With what we gather from our Creative Brief Meeting, we'll be able to send you a proposal outlining all the deliverables you're looking for along with what is required to complete the project.
Our proposals will most likely be 3 pricing options that will fit your general budget. Once approved we'll move onto the contract.

In the contract you will see the full scope of work that has been approved along with the project schedule and all pertinent information.
Your contract will be delivered and signed electronically via link.

A storyboard helps visualize the video before the shoot ensuring that we use our time efficiently.
This also gives us the opportunity to show you our plan based on our discussions assuring we are all on the same page.
-
We will create a shoot day schedule and send to you ahead of the date to ensure we have enough time to complete all the scenes laid out in the storyboard.

We will create a shot list to reference on the day of the shoot to ensure we are getting all scenes laid out in the storyboard.

If filming will take place on city property a permit may need to be obtained. If necessary we’ll apply for all permits. Costs for permitting will be included in the invoice.

We will arrive at the location at least 30 mins ahead of the start time for equipment set-up.

We will visit or ask for photos of the location ahead of time to plan for each filming location. Each scene will require a 15-45 min set-up time depending on the complexity of the scene.
