about us
Turn-key and Stress Free
Video production can seem overwhelming when you think about all of the tiny parts that make up the larger project. Luckily for our clients, we handle it all! From pre-production planning and on-set filming to getting your project across the finish line in post-production, you’re in very capable hands.
Our process starts with a comprehensive proposal based on your needs. Once a formal agreement is signed, we plan a kickoff meeting and jump right into the fun stuff! From there, our producers create schedules and storyboards, cast talent, select music, and source props, all while keeping you in the loop without bogging you down in the details.
The result is a completely polished final video, brought to life before your eyes. Basically, we make it look easy.
Our Video Production Services Include:
Ideation
Not sure what you want your video to look like? One of our favorite parts of the job is helping our clients come up with fun and visually compelling video concepts!
Storyboarding
After ideation, we take an abstract concept and turn it into a comprehensive shot list, so everyone is on the same page with the vision.
Script Writing
Our in-house script writer will work with you to create custom voiceover scripts to help bring your video to life.
Casting Talent
We handle finding and hiring quality models and actors in whatever demographic our clients are looking for.
Hair, Makeup, and Wardrobe Styling
If you want to make your video even more polished, we’ll hire professional wardrobe, hair, and makeup artists to elevate every scene.
Sourcing Props
It’s easy to forget about props, but we’ve got you covered! We’ll order any props needed for the shoot and style each scene.
Music Licensing
We’ll find the perfect song to fit your video and license it for you based on usage, so you don’t have to sweat the legal stuff.
