THE PROCESS OF MAKING A WEB FILM

Time is precious for all of us, so we promise to make things simple, clear and effective from the minute we take your call to the minute we deliver your web film.

STAGE ONE - CONCEPT MEETING

We meet with you to discuss:

  • your web film brief
  • your ideas
  • your message
  • the location options
  • your timing issues
  • your target audience.
  • the length and amount of web films you require
  • whether you want a longer version on DVD or mpeg for presentations etc.

We then provide you with a detailed production budget and, when agreed, we set up your shoot.

STAGE TWO - PRE-PRODUCTION

  • We recce (check out) locations for you so there are no surprises on the day
  • We deliver you a detailed shooting script and a detailed call sheet for your shoot
  • We produce and distribute a detailed running order of your shoot filming day/s
  • We organise filming permissions if needed
  • We staff up the shoot and liaise with presenters if necessary
  • We ensure all the resources - including necessary cameras, sound, lighting equipment, stock and autocue - are ready for your shoot

STAGE THREE – SHOOTING YOUR WEB FILM

Depending on the shoot, your film crew can range from a two-man crew with a producer, director, runner and extra lighting, to a single director filming unobtrusively with a handheld Sony Z1.  

We use a range of cameras and we shoot on HDCAM, HDV and DVCAM.

A full shoot day is 10 hours
Half-day shoot is 5 hours

EDITING YOUR WEB FILM

We edit in multi-format digital linear suites that are equipped to handle everything from basic titles to a full broadcast edit, enabling us to offer efficient and versatile online editing that perfectly compliments our non-linear editing options.

Graphics can be delivered seamlessly and we take charge of the complete sound post-production process, including voice over if required and music.

We can transfer to and from most formats and can handle anything from basic screen grabs to encoding various file types. 

We can author your DVDs and upload your web film to our FTP site to allow fast and efficient delivery of any multimedia file. This enables you to view your web film from your desk and authorise any changes easily. 

Your final web film is compressed and easy to retrieve in either Flash video, Real player, Quicktime or Windows media player format.

We can also provide up to 500 duplicates of your master DVD to use for promotions, power point presentations, marketing or conference and exhibition viewings.
