After receiving your inquiry, we will reach out and set up a meeting to go over the pre-production details. This is where you get to let us in on all the details of your vision, your mission, and the impact you want your video project to have. After gathering all the details, and helping you fine tune your vision into an actionable video, we can provide you with the cost of the project and the size of the team that will be needed. Some projects only require a single DP, while other projects require a whole production team. Rest assured, we are fully equipped to handle any production that comes our way. Our process is very focused on communication: it ensure that we are fully equipped to delivery your dream project, and allows you to be fully involved in the production process to your level of comfort.

THE PROCESS

01

THE PROCESS

initial consultation

After we have gathered all the information pertaining to the production, brought the vision to complete fruition, and analyzed the crew needed for the scope of work, we will send you our customized proposal and contract to make the project official. This is where we can finalize all the tiny details such as the day of production, the post production time frame, crew size, al la carte photography services, the final delivery date, etc. This is also where we can sit down and fill you in on exactly where you investment is going, and our teams goals for the production.

THE PROCESS

contracts & scope of work

THE PROCESS

As you can tell, planning is an essential part to our processes. At this point, we've talked the project as much as we can, it's time to start planning out the vision frame by frame. This is where we will compile a story board for the project. This allows us to know exactly what and who is needed. For example, the owner of a business or a brand might want to have interviews as part of the final video. Knowing who will be in those interviews and what they will talk about ahead of time, makes the project run much smoother. Furthermore, while some projects can be shot in a natural environment, some are also shot on sets or in studios. If that's the case, this is where we will work with the art department if needed. We're looking at every single aspect of the shoot, and editing it down until an efficient actionable plan.

THE PROCESS

This is it, we've arrived at the finalization deadline. We've done all the planning we can; and at this point, we're going to make sure we are all on the same page with respect to the final action plan, story board, and other details. It's time for us to go and create something awesome. Something that's going to resonate with your audience and be the best digital handshake between your audience and your brand, your story, or music. Final timelines will also be sent out during this period assuring that everyone is where they need to be!

LOCATIONS

I am a International Published Photographer, Director of Photography, Lead Editor, and Supervising Digital Colorist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Michigan may be the home of my studio and production company; however, my work showcases my love for travel and destination work. Canada, The Islands of Hawaii, Florida, Los Angeles, and Northern California are some of the many places I've had the pleasure of working. Regardless of the location, my goal is to approach each unique project with the mission of connecting you with your audience, and creating digital handshake that builds awareness and trust with you ideal client.
