Services

Define the goal. Build the right production.

We work with our clients to turn the objective into a production plan: concept and script, crew and equipment, locations, schedule, post workflow and final deliverables.

Process

Strategy, production and post in one workflow.

One production team carries each project from script, budgets, casting and locations through filming, edit, color, sound, motion graphics and delivery.

Planning a Video Production

We work collaboratively with our clients to plan the creative, budget, schedule and filming locations around each project’s needs.

What determines the production budget?

Crew size, shoot days, locations, casting, graphics and the versions you need all affect cost. We match the production plan to your brief and budget. Our video production budget guide explains what to include.

How long does production take?

We plan backward from your delivery date, allowing time for preparation, filming, editing and client reviews. Executive availability, location access and animation can affect the schedule.

Where can filming take place?

We film interviews, company stories, product videos and events at client offices and other locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We assess the space and plan lighting, sound and camera positions around the setting and the people taking part.

Tell us what you need to make, where it needs to happen and when it needs to be delivered.
