media production FAQs

How much input do you require?

We’ll begin with a face-to-face meeting to help us understand the project requirements. From there you can get involved as much or as little as you’d like. In any case we’ll keep you informed at every step of the process.

For animation, we generally agree key messages with you and then we work on a draft script and a suggested visual style for review. 

This entirely depends on the type of job. 

Our preference is for a two- or three-man crew, consisting of a producer/director to oversee the filming and conduct interviews, plus one or two camera operators to concentrate on the visual and technical aspects. This allows us to focus on ensuring the key messages of your video are covered more effectively.

For more complex filming requirements, we may also recommend extra crew members such as:

  • Additional camera operators
  • A sound recordist
  • Drone operator

These will all be costed accordingly in our quote to you.

As an example– with videography, the answer depends on several things, such as:

  • Whether we’re filming in one location or several
  • The time we need to allow for filming and how large a crew we need
  • How complex the edited video is – especially if it includes animation 
  • Whether we’re producing one video or several related videos

To take another example – with animation, the costs will vary, depending on:

  • The animation complexity (2D versus 3D)
  • Whether we can use existing assets (such as characters) or if we need to create these from scratch
  • The duration of the animation

b4b has work with a range of clients, all with differing budgets, meaning that we can find a media production solution that fits your requirements.

Contact us today and we can talk through your options before providing you with a cost breakdown.

Whilst we tailor every project to the needs of our clients, typically the production process can be broken down into three main phases:

Phase 1: Pre-production

We begin by working with you to learn all about your business and together define what you need from the video. We may ask questions like: 

  • Who is your target audience? 
  • What platforms do you want to publish on? 
  • What are the key messages you want to convey / communicate?

This will enable us to create a video outline and/or detailed script, confirm budgets and arrange any filming dates with you.

Phase 2: Production (i.e. filming!)

This is where the fun starts. Our crew will capture all the required footage – think interviews, event footage and product demonstrations. We might film at your premises, at our headquarters or at other locations relevant to the aims of your video.

Phase 3: Post-production

Once we’ve captured all the footage we’ll get to work on editing and crafting the footage into a coherent narrative, adding graphics, titles and music as needed. You’ll have chance to review drafts and provide feedback before your video is finalised.
 

We usually supply our finished videos in the most commonly used formats –  .mp4 or .mov. However we’re happy to convert these into pretty much any other format that you need.

Unfortunately we can’t guarantee this, as there’s no set formula to determine makes video content go ‘viral’ (and you should be wary of any organisation that promises to achieve this!). What we can provide is advice on distributing your content to the widest possible audience, and can recommend some of our experienced colleagues who specialise in SEO and social media if you wanted to explore this further.
