PRE-PRODUCTION

Pre-production is the crucial first step.  After identifying your needs, we build the budget and tentative production schedule for client review and approval.  Upon client approval of costs and timeline, we develop the concept and write the script (if applicable), analyze the production and post-production needs, develop a shooting script or shot breakdown, cast the talent or pre-interview the subjects, assemble and schedule the resources necessary to complete the job, secure the crew, equipment, locations or studio space, purchase the raw materials… in essence, whatever it takes to make sure that everything will be in place before the first day of production.  For jobs involving extensive production, pre-production can take several days. Other jobs are created primarily in post-production and require less pre-production, yet careful, orgainzed planning is integral to every project and is a key service we provide.
