WHAT WE DO

COLLABORATOR STUDIOS goes through every stage of production, from working with top level talent on both sides of the camera, to editing and VFX, delivering you high-quality finished content. Here's how we go about it.

DEVELOPEMENT

Collaborator Studios works closely with you to help define your content needs and find creative solutions to communicate your message. This is a creative and fact finding phase, where we learn about your vision and goals. Aspects of this are; application of your video, what you want to convey, your timeline and budget. With this information we then create a pitch deck and present you one or more concepts with rough budgets. From here the magic happens as we move to preproduction.

Pre-Production

Timeline and budget are determined and approved for production, down payment on production is made. Final script, boards, and assets are created. Production schedule is determined, top level crew are assembled, equipment, locations and cast are secured.

Production

Here's where the rubber meets the road. In the Production phase our assembled team goes into action to execute the plan and create the content. After each shoot, the raw footage is captured and delivered to the editor, who prepares the content for Post Production.

post-production

The raw footage is organized and prepared for the creative post production process. Here we choose the music, voice over, sound effects, motion graphics and identify any additional pick up shots. A rough cut of the video is prepared for client review. The rough cut provides a first draft of the video and give us an opportunity to refine and enhance the edit. A fine cut is then created, including color-correction, titles and final audio mix. The fine cut is reviewed and once approved you receive final deliverables.
