Outpost Worldwide FAQs
DISCOVERY
Determine the parameters of the project. Who is the audience? What is your timetable and deadline? Define final deliverables and expectations. Present a proposal to the client. Finalize a budget. Green light the project.
CREATIVE
Collaborate with the client. Develop the concept and creative approach. Solidify the idea and message. Write an outline, treatment or script. Revise and refine the concept before we ever roll cameras.
PRE-PRODUCTION
Any successful video production begins with a solid blueprint and planning to build upon. The most important stage of any project is pre-production planning. Scout, clear and schedule locations. Audition and cast talent. Acquire necessary props and wardrobe. Book the crew and prep the production gear.
PRODUCTION
Let’s roll. Direct and shoot video. Record audio. Initiate motion graphics for post. We have literally shot and produced videos on every continent except Antarctica. With a worldwide portfolio of production experience we bring our passion and expertise to every job.
POST PRODUCTION
With solid pre-production and production, we should not have to “fix it in post”, but we will certainly enhance and bring to life the final product. The key is rock solid technical staff combined with editors with a vision. We operate multiple in-house edit suites and support bays. A big advantage for our clients is a real investment by Outpost in post-production media asset management and shared media storage. This allows for efficient revisions and updates to projects months and even years down the road.
DELIVERY
Upon final approval from the client we prep the video for delivery. Determine proper file codec for web, broadcast, mobile or other delivery platforms. Archive the finished video on Vimeo for easy client access. Per client request archive and store all media assets for the project at Outpost Worldwide, or deliver all digital assets to the client on an external hard drive.
Video production budgets are determined based on time and materials to execute the project. All professional services such as producing, filming, audio services, and more are based on hourly or daily rates. Other details that impact budget are talent options, props, wardrobe, potential location fees, travel and more. We do not begin any project without a clear confirmation of project parameters and a line-item budget outlining specific details.
