About the process
What is pre-production?
Pre-production is everything that happens before you press "REC". Together we discover who you are, your strengths and how to communicate it effectively with the outside world. Whether you already have a clear idea in mind or you are still at the very beginning, I help you to articulate it in images.
This is an important step in the video production process because we will here set the objectives for the video. After all, what you want is not just a beautiful video, rather an effective content serving a purpose!
What is production?
It's all about pressing "REC", it corresponds to creating images. With professional equipment and the attention to details, I start creating the images for your film.
What is post-production?
The work is here done on computer. I edit, organize, retouch captured images or add special effects. The creation of animations also takes place in post-production.
Your video is then almost finished, ready for a first preview.
Preparing well
What should I wear for the shooting?
It is important to wear something that you feel comfortable in and that fits your brand image. In general, simply wear your everyday clothes and it will be fine.
Be careful with striped shirts or finely patterned clothing, they cause a strange effect on the images. Ladies, avoid noisy jewellery. You can of course wear make-up and on demand, I will organise an optional make-up artist.
How do I prepare my team for a video shoot?
Preparing your team is key to a smooth and successful video shoot. Here are some important points:
- Inform Your Team in Advance: Let everyone know the shoot schedule, locations, and what’s expected of them. Clear communication helps avoid surprises.
- Maintain a Quiet Environment: If we’re shooting interviews in your offices, we’ll need a quiet setting. You may need to ask team members in nearby areas to minimize noise during the recording.
- Consider Image Rights: If there are team members who prefer not to appear on camera, it’s best for them to plan for remote work or avoid being in the office on the shoot day. This helps ensure everyone is comfortable while maintaining a professional workflow.
Do you provide a script or should I prepare one in advance?
The script is something we’ll tackle together during the pre-production phase. Whether you already have a script or need help creating one, we’ll work with you to ensure it aligns with your vision and the goals of the video.
This process includes defining key messages, structuring the content, and making sure everything is ready for a smooth shoot. If you have any initial ideas, feel free to share them, and we’ll take it from there!
Do you need my logo?
Yes, and the logos of every stakeholder you'd like to include. I may also need other graphics, such as photos or sound signatures. I recommend that you send me the files in the best quality you have. You can upload files on this link to send me online transfers.
Something else?
Especially if you're going to talk in front of the camera, the more prepared you are, the better you'll feel and the better the final result. It is therefore important to have the script in mind.
In addition to this, it is also important to prepare the legal terms. Do we have all the authorizations, the image rights?
Getting to know the members of your team, discovering the location, is also very valuable.
About post-production
When do you start editing?
Generally right after the shoot. In the same way, the animation video start after the approval of the script. In general we clearify and plan everything during pre-production.
When do I get to see the first preview?
Usually 10 days after the shoot, depending on the plan developed during pre-production.
Can we still change things?
Yes, depending on the type of change you are looking for, I will inform you of the eventual additional costs. We try to avoid this by taking pre-production seriously. However, I am aware that this flexibility is necessary for some companies, so yes, you can change your mind and yes, there might be an extra cost.
About the price of a video

What Setup do we choose. Do we film with one, two or more cameras? Do we want a teleprompter? Do we film in different locations? Does it require transport? - Human Effort
How much time will filming take? Do we need extra crew, such as a sound technician, second videographer, or makeup artist? - Post-Production Effort

Do you offer different pricing packages?
Yes, I adapt the production size to fit each project’s needs. For example:
- If we’re shooting an interview, you can choose between a single-camera setup or a more dynamic two-camera setup.

Every project is unique, so we can discuss your goals and find the best solution to fit your budget and requirements.
