Production Process
Consultation & Concept
We understand your needs through your brief, and develop the concept according to budget. We provide you with a treatment of your story and visual direction. Our copywriters turn the outline into a script.
Pre-Production
When you approve the concept we begin pre-production. We develop scripts, storyboards, shot lists, schedules, cast talent… We select crew, locations and equipment.
Production
We film and record the creative vision with our experienced crews, who work creatively to attain high-quality content – efficiently to time and budget.
Post-Production
The vision comes together during post-production adhering to schedule and the brief: editing, graphics, animation, colour grading, music composition, sound design…
Delivery
We deliver your content in the right formats and on time.
