How we work
A typical project lasts three weeks. The first two weeks are spent gathering footage and brainstorming on a script with our clients. The third week is spent editing on location and getting any last minute clips for the project. Our goal is to hand over a finished product at the end of the third week, before moving on to our next project. In order to keep costs down we often stay with or near our subjects. We also take advantage of budget airlines and schedule multiple projects within a region.
