And our talents don’t begin and end with video production! Our team also supports clients with additional services ranging from graphic design, to photography, to podcasting.

Because there are different considerations involved with the production of any video, there is no cookie-cutter method for production.

But while a different approach is required to ensure the specific requirements of any project are met, the full service video production process at WeMOV can generally be divided into three phases:

Pre-production

We commonly refer to this as the ‘discovery phase’, as this is when we work with clients to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of the overall vision, key audiences, and reasons for making the video in the first place.

This understanding helps us make the most insightful suggestions when it comes to video type, style, tone, and the elements that should be incorporated. In turn, this will inform the development of the script, content outline, storyboards and style frames, as well as decisions about crew, talent and locations.

This phase also covers planning, including things like the creation of a production timeline, call sheets and applying for any necessary permits.

Production

At this stage all raw footage is shot, and other creative elements such as photography, voiceover and animation are captured, sourced or created. This part of the process might happen across numerous locations, including your business premises, external sites, or WeMOV’s studio, (that’s incidentally fully-equipped with the latest lighting, sound and camera technology!)

Our team will work with crew and talent throughout the planning stages and on shooting days, always remaining on-hand to make sure footage is captured in the most impactful way possible.

Post-production

Here, we bring together all live action, voice over, music and animated components to create the highest quality and most impressive end result. Our skilful editors and animators will create an initial edit which will be presented to you for feedback. From here, the team will work with you to make any necessary tweaks and ensure your finished video reflects your vision.

This varies from client to client, and from project to project. Our expert writers, producers, videographers, editors and animators are used to working with clients in a variety of different ways, from the very hands-on to the completely hands-off.

Driven by a strong vision or passion, previous experience, or a curiosity about the video production process, some clients want to be involved in all aspects of the process.

And the truth is, the more collaboratively our team works with a client – particularly during the initial  planning and feedback / fine-tuning stages – the quicker a finished product that aligns with their initial vision can be developed.

Often, clients are busy performing their day-to-day roles and don’t have too much time to dedicate to being involved with the video production process. These clients tend to step aside after the initial pre-production conversation, once we have developed a clear understanding of their vision and objectives.

From here, we’ll manage all aspects of the process and will endeavour to provide regular updates to keep you informed about our progress throughout.

This really depends on whether you would like to, and whether you have the resources and expertise in-house to do so.

Obviously, your people will have the strongest understanding of your business and its story, which is a great starting point to at least develop an initial draft.

However, this is by no means a definite requirement. With professional script writers a key part of our team, we know what an effective script looks like and have the experience necessary to effectively tell the story of a business in the most impactful way.

However involved you decide to be in the script writing process, our people can provide their professional input around style and tone, engaging intros, well-written scripted elements, and a strong call-to-action.

As a standard, all clients will receive their finalised videos in the form of 1080p MP4 video files. These types of file are usually preferable due to their high quality at a smaller size, and the fact they are appropriate for uploading to popular online video sharing platforms including YouTube and Vimeo.

However, sometimes alternative file types are more appropriate, particularly if the video is primarily for use on social media. Just let us know in advance and we’ll be happy to send you the final versions in any format you need.

You do! Once you’ve provided feedback, reviewed and approved the finished version, and paid your invoice, the video will become your intellectual property. From this point forward, you are entitled to use it for whatever purpose you require.

However, keep in mind that if music was purchased for use specifically in this video, you cannot simply take the track and use it in a different production in the future. That’s because WeMOV’s licensing agreement states purchased music should be used on a project-by-project only basis.

It is possible, however, to pay for the rights to use the same track in future videos, and we are happy to help facilitate this.

This will differ based on the unique requirements of your specific project and what is involved in the production process. As a rough guide you could expect a final edit anywhere from 24-hours to three weeks from the initial briefing, with lengthier time frames involved where there are more complex needs.

It tends to be the timing of the planning and production phases that can vary, while you can usually expect a one-week turnaround from commencement of the edit to presentation of the first draft.

We’ll ask about your deadlines at the start of the project, and do our best to create a production schedule to accommodate. Even where tight turnaround times are involved, we relish a challenge and will do whatever we can to help make it happen.

However, we also know what it takes to get a quality end result, so will be sure to let you know if we don’t believe a timeframe is achievable.

The costs of producing your video will depend on the requirements, complexity and size of the production. A rough estimate for a 180-second video including standard one-day shoot and edit would be around $4,500. Meanwhile, for a 90-second animation you might expect to pay around $3,500.

Thanks to the WeMOV team’s flexibility and creativity, the ultimate cost can also be somewhat guided by your available budget. Let us know what you’re looking for and what you’re hoping to spend, and we’ll come up with a suggested solution to match.

To kick-start the process, get in touch with the team for a no-obligation quote. We’ll ask a few quick questions about what you’re hoping to produce, which should provide enough information to develop an accurate estimate of the likely costs.

This is likely to vary depending on a number of factors including your availability, past experience and comfort level. Sometimes clients are keen to be involved in all aspects of the process, while others are eager to hand all responsibilities over to us.

A certain level of client involvement is usually required during the planning stages. This will ensure we develop a thorough understanding of your budget, story, vision and objectives.

We’ll also ask you to share any relevant visual assets including logos and branding. However, we are equally capable of creating everything from scratch if these types of assets are not available.

At this stage, many clients will opt to step aside and leave the rest to us. Others will want to stay involved and provide their thoughts around elements of the production including scripting, style, tone, talent, music and much more.

Towards the end of the project and once a draft edit has been finalised, we’ll invite you to provide feedback, with tweaks and changes then applied to make sure the finished product perfectly aligns with your vision.

Yes! While some clients prefer to take a more hands-off approach during production, others want to remain actively involved. 

We can give you a glimpse at the basic framing and recording during the shooting days themselves. The full raw footage, however, often needs to be mastered and graded, meaning it is out of line with what the client is expecting. For that reason we usually prefer to show it to you after we’ve had a chance to clean it up.

During post-production we can develop a work-in-progress edit at your request, to give you an idea of how everything’s coming together. Or if you prefer, you can even come and join us in the editing suite where we can talk you through each shot.

To make sure you are completely satisfied with the final version of your video, and that it best reflects your vision, all projects include three rounds of revisions.

On presentation of the first draft, we’ll invite and encourage you to provide your first round of feedback. This should take the form of consolidated feedback, comprising the thoughts of everyone at your end who needs to input or give their approval. We’ll apply this feedback to a second draft, and then repeat the process two more times.

The idea is that the number of requested changes should reduce with each draft edit. Because we work under this assumption when estimating our team’s hours at the beginning of every project, if the number of changes requested turns out to be a lot more than anticipated we’ll contact you to discuss whether extra hours or refined feedback are required

At WeMOV we work with clients on every element of video production. Most often we are involved in all aspects of the process from planning to presentation of the final cut. However, we are occasionally called upon to lend our specialist skills to one specific area, including the edit.

In the modern world, we are all pretty much videographers by default (of varying abilities, of course!) with our smartphones making it easier than ever to capture high quality video content.

Sometimes, all that’s required is a set of expert eyes and a professional edit to transform your home-made footage into something visually impressive and highly engaging
