How we work

Stills and film share one plan from the first recce to the last file.

Brief
A short call, then the product on our table or a walk round your site.
A short call first, then a visit to the room or the street at the hour we would shoot, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
You get: a crew plan and a written estimate.
Plan
Shot list and moodboard, with a rain plan for every outdoor day.
Shot list, call sheet, crew and kit go into one document. Must-have frames come first, extras come with a time next to them.
You get: a call sheet and a shot list.
Shoot
Stills and film from the same light, in the studio or on the quay.
One crew, one light plan. The still is the rehearsal for the film, so both come out of the same set-ups.
You get: a contact sheet the same evening.
Finish
Cool, clean colour that holds up in print, on web and on screens.
Grade, retouch, edit and sound happen in our own room, against the same reference stills, then versions are cut for each place they run.
You get: masters, versions and an archive.

When the files arrive

Counted in working days from the end of the shoot.
