THE PROCESS

1

Planning

In the first stage of discovery and planning, we collaborate with you to understand your brand, message, and audience. By taking the time to carefully plan and strategize, we can ensure that the final video effectively communicates your message in a way that resonates with your target audience.

2

Production

Once the planning stage is complete, we move on to the production stage. This involves coordinating with you to schedule filming days, casting talent, and gathering any necessary props or locations. We work closely with you to ensure that the video aligns with your vision and stays true to your brand.

3

Creation

At this stage, we enhance the storytelling by incorporating music, sound effects, and visual effects as needed. We prioritize your satisfaction by conducting revisions and re-editing until the video aligns with your desired outcome. Upon completion, we deliver the video to you ready for distribution. 

Following this process allows us to consistently produce high-quality, narrative-driven videos.
  • Do you work with clients outside of Halifax?
    Yes, while we are based in Halifax, many of our clients are based in Toronto and other regions. We are happy to work with clients from outside the area and have extensive experience traveling for shoots across Atlantic Canada and beyond.
  • What is the cost of your video production services?
    Pricing for video production varies depending on several factors, including the project's scope, complexity, and specific requirements. Key considerations include the duration of the shoot, crew size, location, and post-production needs, such as editing and assembling the final product. To illustrate, think of it like planning a custom vacation: the total cost depends on elements like the destination, length of stay, accommodations, and activities chosen. Similarly, each aspect of video production contributes to the overall budget. The more details you can share with us about your project, the more accurate our estimate will be.
  • How long does the video production process take?
    The timeline for the video production process can vary. If it's urgent we're often able to shoot and deliver footage the same or next day, projects, like corporate videos, may take a few weeks, while larger projects, such as commercials or brand stories, could take 6-12 weeks from pre-production to post-production. Factors like concept development, shooting schedules, and editing time all influence the duration.
  • How do I prepare for a video shoot?
    Preparing for a video shoot involves several steps, including scheduling filming days, gathering necessary props, casting talent, and ensuring the locations are suitable. We recommend discussing your ideas with our team, so we can help guide you through the preparation process to ensure a smooth filming day.
  • Can you help with concept development and storyboarding?
    Absolutely! Our team offers comprehensive development and storyboarding services to ensure your video aligns with your vision and objectives. We work closely with you to develop a narrative that resonates with your audience, making us a top choice for video production companies in Halifax.
