Here is how we create your custom video production

Story

Whether you provide the script, we work together to develop the story or we take on the scripting services on your behalf, it is important that a clear message guides the production process and tells an efficient and effective story.

Our attitude is that if we don't understand the process we are filming then the message will not be clearly defined for your audience either. We act as your filter for audience comprehension. That is why we go the extra distance to take great interest in your business and processes so that we clearly understand your objectives and produce a message that clearly defines your goals.

Planning

Some productions are easy while others can be more challenging. The more complicated the logistics are in telling your story, the greater the need to plan out the requirements during the Pre-Production phase. Schedule, locations, talent, props and weather are just some of the things that can affect when and how the filming will be done.

Production Period

This is where we shine. We love to accomplish as much as possible during the shoot day. Typically we can film your production in just one day and in some cases just half a day. Despite the short filming schedule we work hard to capture the best light and sound during production. When we show up to a location we immediate scout the area and select the best location to set-up our cameras. We then identify sources of power for our lights and pre-light the area of focus. Whether we are filming, products or on-camera talent we are constantly focussed on ensuring that lighting and sound are at optimal levels.

Completing the Puzzle

Producing a good video production isn't as simple as recording some footage and then editing it together. After the initial filming has been done, the post production phase begins and that is where our years of experience truly brings value to the videos we produce. Our attention to detail provides the polish to truly make your production shine.

Colour Correction

During the editing process we are constantly tweaking the image to provide the best colour correction and dynamic range possible. When appropriate we also create special dramatic looks and visual colour effects to the captured footage.

Audio Sweetening

is another focus of ours that we employ. Capturing video and on location sound doesn't always optimize the soundscape necessary to effectively draw your audience into the experience. What is happening on-screen? What is happening off-screen? Attention to the details of visual clues help to build the sonic palette for our productions. It requires extra effort but the pay-off is a more sophisticated production that brings your program to life and increases viewer engagement. Clean, clear narration/vocal tracks, smooth ambience, incidental sound effects and character enhancing music all come together to sell your message.

Graphics

Titles, charts, graphics and animation help to provide clarity in informing your audience. We strive to bring a cohesion of style and design across the various outlets whether it is on-screen graphics, packaging artwork, advertising graphics etc.

Approval & Delivery

As the editing phase comes to a close we deliver the video for your approval. One round of adjustments and corrections are included before we output the final file for distribution.
