What is your video production process?
To ensure both efficiency and high-quality results in our video production, I follow a structured five-step process: Define Goals and Project Scope: We begin by collaborating to clearly establish the objectives and parameters of your video project, ensuring alignment with your business goals. Planning and Logistics: In this phase, we meticulously plan the project's logistics, including script development, shot lists, location scouting, and scheduling, to ensure a timely production experience. Execution: With a solid plan in place, we proceed to capture the necessary footage, adhering to the established planning to bring your vision to life. Post-Production and Editing: After filming, I focus on editing the footage, incorporating elements such as music, graphics, and effects to craft a polished final product.

How long does it typically take to complete a video project?
The duration to complete a video project varies significantly due to numerous factors, making each project unique. Elements such as the video's complexity, length, style (e.g., live-action or animation), and the specific requirements of your business all influence the timeline. Generally, the production process encompasses several stages: Pre-Production: This planning phase involves concept development, scripting, and scheduling. Production: The actual filming or creation of content. Post-Production: Editing, adding effects, and finalizing the video. Each of these stages can vary in length depending on the project's scope and complexity. For instance, a straightforward corporate video might have a shorter timeline, while a more intricate project could require additional time to ensure high-quality results. To provide a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs, it's best to discuss the details of your project during our consultation.

Yes, I only offer customized packages to ensure the project effectively communicates your message to your target audience.
WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON REVISIONS AND EDITS?
My standard policy includes two rounds of revisions for each project, ensuring that the final product aligns with your vision. I understand that some projects may require additional adjustments; in such cases, I offer the flexibility to accommodate more revisions as needed. If further changes are necessary beyond the included revisions, we can proceed on an hourly or per-project rate basis until you are completely satisfied with the outcome.
Do you handle all aspects of production?
Yes, I manage all aspects of video production, from initial concept development through to final editing and distribution. However, I only provide pre-production services—such as scriptwriting, storyboarding, and planning—for projects that I will personally shoot and edit. If you require assistance with specific components of the production process, I can offer services tailored to those particular needs. Should a project demand expertise beyond my capacity, I will proactively advise you on potential solutions or recommend qualified professionals to ensure the project's success.
What equipment and technology do you use?
The equipment and technology I utilize are tailored to the specific requirements of each project. For instance, for projects necessitating high-resolution video with a wide dynamic range, I employ the Canon EOS C70 cinema camera, which features a Super 35mm Dual Gain Output sensor and supports 4K recording at up to 120 frames per second. For lighting, I use professional-grade Aputure LED fixtures, known for their consistent, bright illumination and adjustable color temperatures, ensuring perfect lighting for any shoot. Additionally, I have a diverse collection of lenses, including anamorphic lenses and a vintage Soviet-era set, as well as various microphones to capture high-quality audio. This array of professional filmmaking gear allows me to adapt to a wide range of creative and technical demands, ensuring that each project is executed with the highest standards. In addition to utilizing professional-grade equipment tailored to each project's scope, I employ advanced editing software to ensure your videos achieve a high-end, cinematic quality. For color grading, I use DaVinci Resolve, renowned for its industry-leading tools that enable precise adjustments and a Hollywood-level finish. I also utilize Adobe's suite of products, including Premiere Pro for video editing, Lightroom for photo enhancements, and Photoshop for graphic design, to meticulously craft and refine your content. This combination of cutting-edge technology and software allows me to deliver visually stunning and professionally polished videos that effectively convey your brand's message. And most importantly, I stop by your moms house once a week.
How do you ensure our brand's message is effectively conveyed in the video?
No one knows your brand better than you. To ensure your message is effectively conveyed in the video, I collaborate closely with you to gain a deep understanding of your brand's identity and objectives. Throughout each stage of production, I seek your input and approval, recognizing that your insights are invaluable in authentically representing your brand. Think of me as a tool to help relay your message; together, we can create a video that meaningfully communicates your brand to your audience.
