03 / PRODUCTION NOTES
Designed around each story.
Each production is planned around the story, interview needs and locations involved. A typical production day allows for approximately 2 interviews while leaving time to capture supporting B-roll and other story-driven visuals.
Up to 3 interviews may be possible in a single day when schedules and locations allow, but this generally leaves limited time for additional B-roll capture. Projects with more extensive interview or B-roll needs may require an additional production day.
ADD.01
Additional Interview Session
$500Up to 3 consecutive hours on-site for one interview, including lighting and audio setup, filming, and breakdown. Does not include B-roll capture.
ADD.02
Additional B-Roll Capture Day
$700Up to 3 consecutive hours on-site for project-specific B-roll capture without interviews.
ADD.03
Additional Production Day, Interviews + B-Roll
$1,500Up to 6 consecutive hours on-site, including equipment setup, interview filming, supporting B-roll, and breakdown.
Additional filming is scoped to the needs of each project. Dedicated campus library capture is detailed separately above.
