FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do we get started with video?

It starts with a phone call, email, courier, bat signal, really your choice of contact. After that, we will want to discuss your industry, your audience, your messaging, and how best to implement your video. All of this leads to our team taking your ideas and running with them or pitching you ideas until you love what you hear! No matter which route we take, we will share our expertise on what is most effective, trending, and what options will bring you the best value. Finally, all of that will lead to scripting!

Where can you shoot? Do you travel?

Anywhere. No really! As long as we have all the required permits and appropriate insurance, which we always make sure we do! Making sure we have all the necessary paperwork in order is already a part of our service so, no matter where we need to go, we will be there. Where we are located isn’t nearly as important as where your video needs us to be, so yes, we travel. We have found ourselves on the factory floor, in the O.R., at the race track, in crop fields, on the water and in the air. We have traveled the nation and worldwide to get our clients the shots they need and will not hesitate to do the same for you!

What does a video cost?

Your video is as unique as your vision. With that, it is a bit analogous to ask what does a home cost? There are a lot of options when building a home, and the same can be said for creating a video. Like an experienced builder, we can share with you what might be the best bang for the buck and why choosing certain options will add a great deal of value to your project. You get to make the final decisions but remember, you are always money ahead to do it right the first time.

Who owns the footage after production?

After completion of the project and payment is received, the video and the rights are all yours! If you need the footage from our shoot day, that too can be made available, but we always keep the footage stored safely, using best industry practice for you so you can let us know if you need changes to anything in the future, and we will be ready to go in no time!

What is the typical turnaround time for a project?

Are you in a hurry? We can accommodate, but every project benefits from the best resources, and the sooner we can begin collaborating, the better for everyone! Once again, every project is unique, but on average, six to eight weeks seems to be the turnaround time from scripting to completion. The more extensive your video needs, the more complex the puzzle, and your deadline will affect this completion date. Our recommendation is don’t wait. Even if your video is six months to a year out, planning how we execute will make the whole process that much smoother! So what are you waiting for? Reach out to us and let’s talk movies, let’s talk cinematic style, let’s talk about what video you want to make!
