The Production Process

To see case studies of projects we have worked on click here to go to the voluntary sector.

Pre-Production

Before any filming can begin there are a number of processes that have to be considered and planned for.  This is a very important stage of a production because if something is not 100% right now, it will show up later.  We have a number of experienced and talented producers and directors who work together at this stage to cover all angles and to ensure that we have the best script and team for the type of production we are working on, and that no stone is left unturned in the planning and pre-production stage.

• Training and Communications Needs

• Creative Treatment

• Scripting

• Casting

• Shoot Planning

 

 

Location Filming

When filming on location it is so important to be organised and prepared.  We will use any resource available to ensure that nothing will come as a surprise to us when location filming including several site visits to the location beforehand if possible.  Between our employees and our contacts in various industries we have expertise and experience that ranges across a massive variety and range of industries, departments and associations to insure we produce the best possible results for our clients.

Post Production

After the filming is complete, we can return with anything up to several days worth of footage, which we now need to covert into the faultless product that our client requires.  To do this we take the footage back to the offices in Devon where we have the edit suit set up.  An experienced member of our team will then pour over the footage and select the highlights and best takes and start putting them together to create the product.  Also any additional effects, graphics and animations will be created and put into the production at this stage so it is all in tune with the final product.  Voiceovers are recorded from professional actors and voiceover artists and finally the music is selected.  The music can set or destroy the tone of the production so it is vital that the music suits the production perfectly.  Throughout the editing process, contact with the client is crucial to get the right results for them.

DVD Authoring

At this stage the Production is finished and the client along with everyone on the team is happy with what has been produced.  Now the production is recorded on to DVD or the format the client requires it in.  If required we present the finished product with some artwork and box it for the client to use.
