Why use a pre-production company?

Video pre-production planning prepares your video production process by setting clear goals and requirements before the camera starts rolling. This way, you get the right format and location based on your goals, have the team ready to address all of the possible needs and concerns and have the ability to adjust the particulars before the production process gets underway.

The last thing you want is to get halfway through a production only to realize you’ll need more green screen action or that an outdoor location just doesn’t work to highlight your capabilities. So why is pre-production important? With a quality pre-production process, you can expect:

Shorter Production Time

The biggest benefit you’ll get by working with NextThought Studios on pre-production services is the assurance that you have everything in place when it comes time to shoot your video. This cuts your video production time. By lining up everything and everyone you need beforehand, from sets and lighting to designers and directors, we can produce your video more efficiently.

Higher Quality

By working with a pre-production video company, you can ensure that the video produced meets your quality standards. By skipping pre-production, you risk the chance that your production company makes a video that misrepresents the information you want to give, or otherwise doesn’t meet your quality standards.

Our creative directors and staff members help you pinpoint all the essentials of your project in design meetings before production starts. During these meetings, you’ll meet with a design team to help comb through the details of your project and make sure to start us on the right track. This includes setting a pre-production schedule and budget that meets your needs and pinpointing the essential messages in your content that will resonate with your audience. By establishing these basic needs from the start of the project, the creative directors can set appropriate project goals.This means you’ll rest assured your project is going to get accomplished on time, within budget and up to your quality standards.

An engaging script is the first step toward making an engaging video. Using your lesson information and the essential messages you pinpointed in the design meetings, writers and designers develop a script designed to build on those messages while keeping your audience interested and engaged. Because they’re so important to the rest of the process, our scripts go through a thorough review processes before going further down the production line. The project manager, the Director of Video Operations, the project editor and the client themselves all review scripts before they go to the storyboarding process.

Storyboarding brings your project to life with a shot-by-shot guide set to the beat of your script. With a clear storyboard, you get a vivid idea of what your video will look like before the cameras start rolling. This both gives you a chance to make any final adjustments and prepares you and your staff for the kinds of shots the production team will need.
