Step 1: Unearth Your Story

Step 2: Film
Enter your deep pool of wonder and gently move your attention away from the camera and towards your emerging story.
Step 3: Edit
The final creative phase, distilling down to its pure essence. Like a tapestry, we weave story, transitions, voice-over, and music.

The advent of the Covid pandemic forced us to ignite our pivot to find innovative solutions in the face of unprecedented circumstances. This pivot led us to perfect the art of remote filming, allowing us to capture client stories from anywhere in the world.
Remote filming opens a world of possibilities. The use of readily available technology, such as mobile phones and video-capturing software, makes it accessible to a wide range of individuals and businesses. The inclusion of additional equipment like microphones, cameras, tripods, and lighting ensures the quality and professionalism of the final product.
We walk you through every step of the process alleviating any apprehension you may have and also ensures that the end result meets your expectations. We provide clear instructions and technical support making your experience seamless.
Remote filming is no longer a temporary solution during challenging times but has become a versatile and efficient method for those far from the madding crowd. Our adaptation to remote filming is a testament to our resilience and commitment to delivering high-quality results in an ever-evolving landscape.
This is where the magic happens and is the most labour-intensive part of producing your film. It involves both an intuitive and technical process. The raw capture is viewed many times over, observing the rhythm, mindfully noting the epiphanies and watershed moments. Often the most powerful moments are those captured between words. The film is distilled down to the bare essence, revealing pure wisdom, drawing the listener closer, and hanging onto every word uttered.
Then there is the technical aspect:
- Log raw video and transcribe sound bites from video (if necessary)
- Edit video (colour correcting / audio enhancement)
- Add relevant titles, text, and music
- Prepare film preview customer for viewing
- Minor revisions as per client request
- Digital files are created for the client
