If the quote is exactly what you are looking for on the call. We can take payment over the phone and book the shoot date that same day.

ARRIVAL & SETUP

The day of the shoot our videographer(s) always come between 15-30 minutes early for setup to the location.

*This setup time is not charged as part of the shooting time scheduled.

Once everything is setup the clock starts on the rate charged originally to you on the agreed upon time. During this time our crew will get a variety of shots based on the project specifications.

*Please note if you pay for 3 hours of shooting that does not mean you will be getting 3 hours of footage. As it takes time to set up each shot and we like to have a variety of artistic shots to choose from.

PRODUCTION

During the production phase we will use all the gear that we suggested during the creative call to establish your goals. Getting all the video shots your need for your video production.

WRAP-UP

Before the end of the shoot the videographer(s) will always need about 15- 30 minutes to wrap out all the gear needed for the shoot. This may be more or less depending on the complexity of the project and the amount of gear we have brought.


STEP 3: VIDEO DELIVERY

RAW FOOTAGE

All the HD raw footage will be downsized and prepared either on a 8GB swivel USB drive for an additional charge or online digital download from “Google Drive” at zero charge.

*The footage online is hosted for up to 30 days as per our Terms of Service.

EDITING

If you hired TruFocus to do any editing then this is the next step in the process. The amount of time it takes to complete each edit varies based on the complexity of the edit which will be discussed on the creative call.

ROUGH EDIT

Once the film has been edited you will receive a private link online hosted by our “Vimeo Pro” account to preview on a “Review Page”.

*You are allowed to make minor changes to this edit without accumulating additional charges.

FINAL EXPORT

Once the edit has been approved and finalized by you. We will then post the final edit online with a “Vimeo Review Page” for you to download or get exported on the needs based on the technical requirements of the video. We only close the project once you are fully satisfied with the end result.
