Why do I Need Preproduction?

Video Script

One of the biggest pieces of the production process for us is our preproduction process. Now it might seem simple. We’ve got a shoot date, we’re just going to show up and film, but it’s really a lot more complicated than that. There’s going to be a lot of people that are going to be thinking about this project for a lot of hours before that happens. During the preproduction process, we’re going to be reviewing the script that you have or helping you with a scripting assistance. We’re going to be doing the storyboard, which is going to line up exactly what’s going to be on camera during the script when it’s said.

Then if there’s locations that need to be acquired or actors that need to be acquired, setting up any type of props or wardrobe or anything like that, setting up a stylist, all these pieces go into that preproduction so that all the logistics, everybody is in the right place at the right time doing the right thing looking the right way, saying the right thing, on that film day. It makes the film day just really relaxed and really fun. It’s all that organization beforehand that really makes that day really awesome. We love it. It’s one of our favorite days. That preproduction process gets us to that point. For more information on your next video project, give us a call.
