The

Mantra

We see storytelling as a living and breathing process that must be nurtured into existence by a team of visionary creatives working in perfect unison.
It's more than just shooting pretty pictures to make something click and tick with audiences. We're in the business of making human connections with viewers and that all starts with finding everything we can about you.

So get ready to make new friends and get cozy with our team of creatives!

The

Process

01
Discovery

We kick things off by asking you all the right questions to get a solid grasp on your objectives and desired outcomes, getting a clear understanding of what you want to achieve with the video or campaign. Think of it as your own private pow-wow to unlocking the key to your target market.

Once we have a solid understanding of the objective, we conduct research on your competition and target audience to identify what sets you apart and what your audience wants to see. We don't just stop at surface level insights - we delve deeper to find the unique qualities that will leave a mark.

Then, we gather our team of video ninjas for a brainstorm sesh that's sure to produce some epic ideas. After all that, we put together a statement of work that lays out the plan for the video production, from start to finish. If everything checks out, you’ll give us the green light to move to pre-production and begin the groundwork.

Groundwork

The pre-production phase is the make-or-break moment for a project's success. First up, let’s get real. It's all about story. We take the seed of an idea and turn it into a full-fledged script that will captivate and persuade viewers. From there, we sketch out the shots and camera angles in storyboards and shot lists. It's like bringing your favorite comic book to life, but with moving pictures.

Next up, it's time to assemble the dream team. We scour the land (and internet) for the perfect filming locations, cast some seriously talented actors, and put together a top-notch film crew. We make sure every prop, costume, and set design element is in order-oh yes, we go OCD.

Finally, it's logistics time. We secure all the video gear we need to bring the story to life, map out a shooting schedule like a pro, and send out call sheets that'll make sure everyone knows exactly what's happening and when.

It's like being a conductor leading an orchestra, but with cameras and lights. With all these steps in place, the pre-production process will ensure a smooth shoot and a final product that'll have audiences raving.

Filming

Step up to the camera and get ready for action, it's time for the filming phase. We approach every filming project with focused intent, paying close attention to every detail to ensure that the final product exceeds your expectations.

From calling the shots and directing talent with focused intent, to capturing stunning cinematic visuals and clean crisp audio, we’re ready to roll.

Whether it's live action, utilizing green screens for special effects, keeping your lines on-point with a teleprompter, capturing soaring aerial shots with drones, or an immersive experience with 360˚video, every element of your project is considered and executed with precision.

Editing

The editing phase is where the magic happens. Our team of video editors slice and dice their way through the raw footage and sound to find the gold before molding it into a solid story that rocks.

With graphics and VFX that pack a punch, voice-over that's smooth like butter, music that'll have you grooving, and sound effects that fully immerse you into the story, get ready to experience magic. And when it's time for the picture lock, you can trust that every shot is placed like a puzzle piece and your story is ready to shine.

The polish phase is where we turn up the volume and add some extra oomph to your story. Color grading accentuates the emotion and the sound mix balances and centers the story. When it's time to deliver the goods, we've got you covered, from format and exports for broadcast and web, to file sharing and archiving deliverables. Did we mention we can help you promote and distribute your production like a boss?

How do you determine the cost of a video project?
Determining the cost of a video project is like putting together a puzzle. We carefully consider all the pieces, including the scope of work, concept development and art direction, the duration of the video, the type of equipment needed, the number of crew members, and post-production requirements such as editing, color grading, sound design and special effects.
