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:

• Location Recce -Risk Assessment

Filming with Felicia: Slow, Comfort Food

Still photographer Felicia Perretti chose to partner with Savvy to direct her first food film. Teaming up with food stylist, Harry McMann, it was decided that featuring making pasta as a slow food experiment would be our subject matter.  Filming with the BMC Ursa Mini allowed for a rich and organic color palette.  Harry followed an old school recipe to get just the right texture and shape for the pasta. Rustic Italian mandolin sound bed matches the quiet and deliberate unfolding of a beautiful food narrative. Slow food with Felicia at its best.
