Video Production Process
What Video Production Services Do We Offer?
Corporate Videos
Corporate Videos are videos created specifically for your business to communicate a message. Corporate videos are usually scripted, but sometimes contain interviews as well. Often the video might showcase services or train employees on something specific.
By using visual storytelling, corporate videos can make a big impact, conveying a company’s values, mission, and offerings in a format that’s easy to understand, yet memorable.
Web Ads / Social Campaigns
Web Ads and Social Campaigns are targeted advertising efforts designed to engage audiences on the internet and social media platforms. The best form of this is through video.
Web Ads and Social Campaigns are both important because they allow businesses to reach a vast, diverse audience with precision and customization, directly connecting with users based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics.
Documentary Shorts
Documentary Shorts are brief, non-fiction films that explore real-life subjects, stories, or issues, usually running between 5 and 15 minutes (sometimes up to 40 minutes).
By presenting factual content in a compelling and accessible way, documentary shorts can educate, inspire, and provoke thought, making complex or overlooked subjects engaging and relatable to a wide audience.
Training Videos
Training Videos are visual educational tools created specifically for corporate training and safety instruction, designed to teach employees about various workplace procedures, policies, and practices.
They’re important because they provide a consistent, engaging, and effective method of delivering vital information across an organization. Training videos enhance learning and retention, making complex concepts easier to understand and apply.
Many people think that video production is as simple as grabbing a camera and shooting. It’s not. Any good video production services start with a great idea. Concept development is an important step in deciding what your making, the theme, locations, lighting, casting, and anything else that will be involved with production, and even post production. Any good video production started with a good plan.

If a script is needed, we can help write it. We have professional writers on staff. For filming, we have two drones, and two cinema cameras that are rigged for filmmaking. We also have professional lighting and cinematography kits. More importantly, we have a professional crew that can handle solid productions, both big and small. Additionally, most people don’t know that “Post-Production” takes longer than production. A good edit can make or break your video. We provide professional editing services and use film industry standard editing softwares.
Concept Development
Concept Development is like the seed of your video project, where you come up with the main type of video, idea, theme, or story you want to share. Concept Development is very important because it affects everything you do during production, and even post production. It will determine what locations you film at, what you will fim, how you will light, what crew you need, what editing you will have, if you need a script, what type of script if you need one, etc.
Without it, you’d be trying to build a house without a blueprint, which is why taking the time to develop a strong concept is the first step to creating something amazing and impactful.
Script Writing
Script Writing is the process of putting your video’s story into words, creating a detailed guide that includes everything from dialogue to scene descriptions. It’s crucial because it acts as a roadmap for the entire production team, ensuring that everyone knows what’s happening, when, and how.
Without a well written script, your video will likely end up a failure. Often, during “Pre-Production” we choose locations and make a shot list based on the script. The script will also help determine how long your finished video will be. Script Writing, if needed, is the key to turning your initial concept into a coherent and engaging story.
Filming
Filming is essentially image capture. Yet, it can be quite complex depending on a number of factors, including location, weather, time of day, and so much more. Additionally, running good sound separate from rolling camera is equally important. Filming is where the story comes to life. Filming, also usually called “Production”, is where we capture the actual video footage that will be in your finished video. Without filming, there is nothing to edit, making it the essential Video Production Service.
Editing
Editing is the creative process where all the filmed footage gets cut, arranged, and polished into the final video. Editing also typically involves color grading, sound design, and audio mastering. Editing is very important for many reasons. This is where the story and tone of your video really comes together. This allows editors to control the pace, mood, and narrative flow of the video. Without editing, you’d just have a bunch of raw video clips. With editing, you can transform those clips into a compelling story that captures your audience’s attention and communicates your message effectively.
Aerial Drone Videography
Aerial Drone Videography is when you use flying drones to capture stunning video footage from the sky, offering unique angles and perspectives that ground-based cameras can’t achieve. It is an essential tool for any outdoor production, making scenes more engaging and visually appealing with sweeping views or dramatic landscapes. Aerial Drone Videography can elevate the production value of your project.
Video Content and Multimedia Development
Video Content and Multimedia combines several multiple elements such as audio, video, images, graphics, and animation. Video content is really the ultimate form of multimedia. It is an essential part of training, education, marketing, and storytelling.
Enhanced Engagement
Video content is more engaging and visually stimulating than text or still images. Videos capture attention and convey messages in a more dynamic and relatable way. Video content is the future.
Broad Reach - Accessible
Videos can be shared across multiple platforms. Social media, websites, broadcast media, ads… Videos reach a wide and diverse audience. Video is an essential tool for communication and marketing.
Effective Communication
Videos combine visual elements, sound, and storytelling, making complex or abstract concepts easy to understand. Video increases comprehension and retention. Especially with education and training.
Crew Positions
Video Production Crew
Whether you have a big or small production, there are several different crew members and workers required to get your video finished. In some cases, a small crew may consist of only 3 or 4. Sometimes, one person might serve as Director, Producer, and Camera Operator. Even later, that same person might be an editor.
Here is a list of some of the most common crew positions.
Director
Directors are the creative leaders behind film and video productions. They are responsible for bringing a project to life by guiding the artistic and technical aspects of the project.
They’re important because they shape the vision of the story, coordinating the work of actors and crew members. Directors make critical decisions on everything from casting to camera angles. Directors play a pivotal role in creating a cohesive and compelling final product.
Producer
Video Producers are the driving force behind the scenes of film and video projects. Producers oversee the production from its inception to completion.
Producers are important because they manage the practical aspects, including financing, scheduling, and logistics. Producers ensure that the project stays on budget and on time.
Camera Operator
Camera Operators are the professionals responsible for capturing the video footage on film sets and in television production.
Camera Operators are important because they work closely with a director, videographer, or cinematographer to capture the image.
Sound Recordist
Sound Recordists use special recording equipment to capture audio during film and video productions. They ensure that dialogue, sounds, and ambient noises are recorded clearly.
Sound Recordists are important because quality sound is essential for creating solid video content.
Video Editor
Video Editors assemble recorded raw material into a finished product. Editors use software such as Adobe Premiere or Davinci Resolve to tell the story or deliver the message.
Editors are important because of their expertise in cutting footage, sequencing scenes, and integrating sound and special effects. Editing is sometimes very meticulous or tedious work. Video editors can transform several hours into a few minutes of very effective content.

F.A.Q.
Common Questions
How much does it typically cost to produce a professional video?
The cost of producing a professional video varies widely depending on factors like the video’s length, complexity, locations, equipment, and talent required. Budgets can range from a few thousand dollars for a simple project, to hundreds of thousands (or more) for high end productions like most movies have. Contact us to discuss your vision and requirements to get a an estimate.
What does the video production process involve?
The video production process can be complex, and can vary depending on the project. Typically, video production involves three main phases. Pre-production, where concepts are developed and plans laid out. Production, where footage and sound is captured. Post-production, where the footage and sound is edited and color graded into the final product, usually with added multimedia. Each phase is crucial for ensuring the video meets the intended goals. This comprehensive approach allows for meticulous planning, execution, and refinement.
How long does it take to produce a video from concept to completion?
The time it takes to produce a video from concept to completion can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks for a simple project, to several months for a more complex production.
The timeline depends on the scope of the entire project, including pre-production planning, filming, and post-production editing.
It’s important to note, that production is usually the fastest process. Planning, or pre-production, can be lengthy to get everything scheduled and planned. Additionally, editing, or post-production, typically takes the longest.
For example, for some projects, 2 days of production might take place after 3 weeks of planning. Then, editing might take 3 to 6 weeks. However, typically, less people are involved with editing or post-production. On really small projects, editing might only involve 1 person.
Clear communication and efficient decision-making can help streamline the process.
Do video production companies also offer scriptwriting and storyboarding services?
Yes! We do! Many video production companies offer comprehensive services that include scriptwriting and storyboarding as part of pre-production. We offer these services as well if needed.
These services are crucial for visualizing the concept and ensuring a clear narrative flow, helping to guide the production team and align the project with your expectations.
How do you choose the right locations for filming?
We choose filming locations based on the script or projects requirements, as well as what’s readily available. Sometimes, finding the perfect location can be difficult.
The visual and aesthetic needs of the project weigh heavily on location selection. But there are practical considerations like budget, accessibility, and legal permissions. Location scouting experts carefully evaluate potential sites to ensure they enhance the narrative and meet logistical needs.
For smaller projects, we often use what we can find readily available, then shoot more medium and close up shots to help the blocking for the finished edit.
How do you handle revisions or changes to the project after filming has started?
Video production companies typically accommodate revisions or changes with a flexible approach, understanding that creative projects can evolve.
However, significant changes, especially after filming has started, may affect the timeline and budget. Clear communication is essential to manage expectations and outcomes effectively.
Small revisions are usually no problem, but anything involving reshoots, additional cast, added locations, and other things of that nature can greatly increase project time and cost.
Planning
Pre-Production
Pre-Production is the first phase of video production. All planning and preparation takes place before any filming begins. This stage can involve concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and scheduling. This is the time to make key creative decisions, organizing logistics, and align the budget.
Shooting
Production
Production is where the actual filming of the video takes place. During this stage, the crew captures all the necessary footage while sticking to the schedule and budget. Video is captured using professional equipment for video, lighting, and sound recording. Production is a specific process, which can sometimes be complex.
Editing
Post-Production
Post-Production is the final phase of the video production process where the raw footage and audio is put together into the finished video. This stage involves editing, special effects, sound mixing, color grading, foley, incorporating music, voice-overs, and more. Post-Production is a tedious and specific process that requires a knowledgable, skilled, and detail oriented person or team.
