how we do it
Concept planning to delivery
Firstly we storyboard, film and edit before moving on to the magic of post-production.
The first thing is simply getting on the same page with you the customer to make sure we’re producing what you need to meet your goals. At this point, we’ve likely already met with you before preparing your video proposal, so this concept planning meeting typically only takes about 30-minutes to 1-hour and can be done in-person or over the phone. We do things like:
-
outline the approach to the video
-
discuss the subject matter, and the raw video, that must appear in the final film
-
discuss how many on-camera locations will be conducted.
Pre-production
Next, we start to assemble all the things we’ll need during the shoot. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours. Preparations include:
-
create any necessary shot lists (based on the concept meeting)
-
prepare equipment (checking/testing the cameras, lights, media cards, gimbal, drone, tripods and so on)
The video shoot
The day of the video shoot is the most obvious to people because we're on-site, so what we do is on display. This is a big part of the “it depends” aspect of things. How many video shoots will be required to capture what we need for the video?
It’s talked about and decided in advance when the video proposal is being prepared. Sometimes everything we need to shoot is in a single location and all available on the same day. Perfect. On the other hand, sometimes there are multiple locations involved. Location critical to the video needs to be filmed on a different day.
As far as the shoot itself, here are some of the things we do:
-
The videographer will visit each site to shoot everything on the shot list
-
The videographer will also shoot other raw video that is found to be relevant or beneficial
Most B-Roll videos only require a single videographer, but there are cases where additional resources are needed or requested. We have helped coordinate things like additional videographers, sound technicians, an online streaming coordinator, a teleprompter operator, hair and makeup, et cetera. Adding professionals like these does increase the production’s cost.
Post production
This is where a lot of the time is spent, where the magic happens. It’s the other “it depends” variable. How much time gets spent in post-production varies depending on the amount of raw video there is to sift through and how complicated the story is to tell. It could take anywhere from 2-5 days in most cases. Some of the things that need to be accomplished are:
Logging the raw video
-
review all the raw video that was shot
Video Script Creation
-
notes regarding sound bites and raw video are reviewed
-
sound bites are selected, then arranged into story form to create a script
-
script is emailed to customer
-
minor changes are discussed by phone, changes requested by client are made
Video Edit “where the magic happens”
-
edit video according to the approved artistic script
-
relevant graphics are created if needed
-
preview video is provided to customer for viewing with water mark
-
minor changes are discussed by phone, email or in person.
-
Changes requested by client are made.
The wrap
-
digital files are created
-
on to a portable hard drive/flash drive or using Wetransfer for you to use to upload you video
-
or a portable hard drive can be purchased to be re-used for more productions with on going clients on regular content plans.
Taking into consideration each of those phases… concept planning, pre-production, video shoot, and post-production… most projects take 4-5 days to complete, costing from around £250 to £500 and as little as £100. Whatever your budget is, it can be tailor made for you. Just reach out and let me know, I'm here to help.

Prices are always agreed to in advance with you, so you know what the cost is before production begins. We have had a few situations where a project has taken longer than anticipated and the price has changed during the process. In all of those cases, the customers added shoots, or other components, and then agreed to an accordingly higher price. Communication is the best way to avoid any potential cost issues.
