The Collaboration
At the centre of every great video production is teamwork between you and the creators. Each side brings their own special knowledge and ideas. But in any good team-up, it's important to know what you’re contributing.
Your Major Responsibilities
As the client, your first and foremost responsibility is to share your dream with us. And by dream, we mean the vision for your project. Think of this as your chance to paint the big picture.
What's the mood you're going after? What colours are in play? Who's the star of the show? A rough lookbook can act as the canvas for your masterpiece, giving us insight into your brand's heart and soul.

Providing the Vision
No one knows your story better than you. By providing a vision, you’re laying the foundation upon which the entire production will stand. What’s your end goal? What message do you want to convey? These are the questions that help craft the blueprint for the video’s storyline.

Crafting a Rough Lookbook
A lookbook is your chance to visually communicate the elements you're picturing – think colours, textures, and tones. It's not about detailed drawings or finalised concepts but rather the essence of the aesthetic you're going for.
Our Creative Process
Once we get your starting ideas, it’s our turn to make your dream look real with scripts and storyboards. This is when we really get to show off what we're good at - filling in all the little details, building the story and drawing a map of how your video will go.
-
Script
With your idea, we dive into the fun part – writing the script. We put together the words that will lead your video. This includes the talking, voice-over, and any words you see on the screen. But a script is more than just words; it's about how fast things move, the right timing, and capturing the feel of your message.
-
Storyboards
Then, we bring out the storyboards. If the script is like the backbone of your video, then storyboards are its heart, but in pictures. They lay out each part of your video, showing every scene one by one.
Picture storyboards as a cartoon version of your video yet to come – it’s a crucial step to see how all parts of your video will come together. Here, we add a few more lines to show, scene by scene, the flow of your story, making sure every moment is planned out before we even start filming.
The Revision Dance
Now, here’s where you step back in. We’ll ask for your eagle eyes and keen insight to review our creations. Feedback time! This is where things get tweaked, adjusted, and fine-tuned. We want to ensure that the script and visualisation align perfectly with your expectations.
-
What If You Have a Clear Vision?
Let's say you’ve got very specific ideas for your script and storyboard. That’s awesome! Some clients really like to be involved at this stage, and we welcome it.
Bring your script and drawings, and we’ll build on them. We’ll add our expert touch and give advice to make sure we nail the perfect vibe for your video.
-
Shall We Discuss Actors and Costumes?
When it comes down to picking the best people for your video, figuring out their outfits, and even the little things like hair and makeup, leave it to us. We know lots of talented people who are ready to bring your vision to life.
But if you already have some people or certain looks in mind, tell us! We want to make your video as real and true to you as possible.
Going the Extra Mile With Details
When we make your video, every little thing is important. From picking the perfect spot to finding things that show off the Gold Coast's fun vibe, we pay attention to every detail.
- Location: Where we film your video can really change how people feel about it. It could be the sunny beaches, city scenes, or a place that's totally you. The right spot is like a silent storyteller in your video.
- Props and Costuming: Things like props and outfits aren't just extras; they help tell your story. They build a world that looks real and interesting, adding more to what your video is saying and making it look even cooler.
