Almost everything you need to know about the production process. Keep in mind this is what I have to think about, all you need to do is look good on camera.
Phase 1: Discovery & Brainstorming
We explore your goals, brand, and audience to see if this project fits your needs. Together, we develop the concept and direction before anything is recorded.
Includes:
Brainstorming creative directions
Seeing if this is right for your needs
Understanding your brand, aesthetics, tone, and you
Exploring narrative style, purpose, and audience alignment
Building out a rough content outline or concept flow
Phase 2: Pre-Production (Planning & Setup)
We plan everything—from script and structure to titles and timelines—so that production runs smoothly and the final product meets your expectations.
Includes:
Planning the structure and timeline
Organizing shoot logistics, locations, and people involved
Scripting or prepping talking points / questions
Title and Thumbnail development
Clarifying goals and expectations for the final product
Deciding where and how this content will be used
Phase 3: Production (Filming / Recording)
This is the actual recording phase. We set up equipment, guide the session, and capture high-quality content efficiently and professionally.
Includes:
Equipment rental (audio, lighting, cameras if needed)
Hourly production rate (including travel if applicable)
Set up, recording, and clean up on location or virtually
Managing audio quality, lighting, and framing
Capturing multiple takes or angles when needed
Directing the flow while keeping it natural and on message
Phase 4: Post-Production (Editing & Finishing)
We edit the footage, clean the audio, add polish, and shape everything into a finished piece. This includes full and short-form versions based on what was captured.
Includes:
Editing time (cutting, assembling, pacing, etc.)
Calculated per hour of production footage (rounded up)
Sound cleanup, color correction, and graphics (if applicable)
Rendering time for full and short-form versions
Revisions based on your feedback
Phase 5: Distribution (Delivery & Launch Support)
We handle uploading and formatting your content for platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and social media, making sure everything is ready for release.
Includes:
Upload to Dropbox (for your personal archive)
Upload full export video to YouTube
Upload quick export version to Spotify Podcasts, Facebook, etc.
Metadata and platform-ready formatting (title, tags, description)
Optional support with scheduling or social copy if needed
Final Touchpoint: Client Feedback & Review
We wrap up by reviewing the work together, collecting your thoughts, and making note of improvements for future collaborations.
Includes:
Your honest opinion on the work completed
Notes for improvement or direction for future projects
Discussion on next steps if you'd like to do more
