Pre-Production Steps to Help Your Video Project Run Smoothly

Pre-production plays a huge role in any motion project.  It is the necessary step (and step with most work to do) that compiles the necessary information for both parties involved-- crew and client.  Since most of the work is done pre-production, it can help keep a tidy outline that keeps your project organized and running smoothly.  Here is a list from a blog post we stumbled upon that nicely highlights the vital steps in video making:

• Brainstorming
• Research-Primary-Secondary
• Proposal-Pitch(Synopsis)
• Production Schedule
• Budget
• Storyboard
• Location Recce -Risk Assessment
• Contingency Plan -Back Up Plan
• Shooting Schedule

Jump for Joy: Joie Baby Spin 360

We used our handy drive-in white cyc studio to shoot the production; Allowing perfect white background and soft lighting for interior car shots.  The script was written with very legal specifics which had to be followed very carefully during the action, always fun with children and babies.  Post production was handled in-house using Premiere and After Effects.
