The creative process in four easy steps
Creative
Creative is when we first understand your business and how you’re trying to change the world. Then we brainstorm crazy yet lucid ideas that subsequently get distilled into a script. Creativity is key..
Production
Production is the actual shoot days when we’re on location with the crew and equipment gathering the raw material in glorious high definition…the interviews, the B roll, the car chase sequences, the emotional, heartfelt moments, the product shots and customer testimonials.
Editorial
Editing accounts for about 70% of the impact of a successful video. Editing is where the live action, graphics, music, voice over and other media come together to craft the story. And you review each version of an edit securely online and collaborate with us to make the changes you want.
