WE LOVE OUR CRAFT

So what exactly does that mean?

It may mean something slightly different to each one of us here in the office, as well as those talented industry folks we work with on set.

An early love of stop motion movie making, shaping characters out of clay at the age of 12. A knack for picking out themes George Lucas sprinkled throughout the Star Wars trilogy back in the 80s. The excitement of anchoring the daily news for your high school news program.

These are all things that are part of our story and how our craft has been formed today. Scriptwriting, shooting, editing and the coordination it takes to bring it all together. No matter where we started, we all ended up in the same place, furthering our education and knowledge of this whole video thing.

Today this means keeping up on the latest technology as the world of visual imaging gets smarter and smarter by the day. It means understanding trends and media outlets to serve our clients better. It means being great communicators to make sure that every aspect of the project goes off without a hitch. We are scriptwriters, directors of photography, casting agents, location experts, insurance experts, furniture movers and coffee getters. So many little details go into a video production and we want to make sure that the process is easy and enjoyable for our clients.

So not only do we make the coffee in the morning, organize talent headshots, and coordinate productions, we will climb on to the roof of a building to block out windows that are not ideal for the set lighting, (yes that really happened, in the summer, in Boise, in 100 degree weather).

We genuinely love the process of making video from start to finish, and we believe that it is an art. We truly love our craft.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!
