FRENCH BULLDOG FILMS

         

Collaboration is the name of our game

From the very beginning of a project to the end, we work with you all along the way to create a unique film that is true to your goals, exciting to watch, and leads toward your vision.

We plan and then we plan some more

We get to know every inch of your project’s territory before we start shooting. By spending quality pre-production time and making sure we have everything we need, we show up professionally and ready to go.

Because we’re prepared, we don’t waste precious time on the day/s of the shoot.

Pre-Production allows us space to find the perfect shot angle or try some improvised dialogue. It also gives us flexibility to deal with whatever surprises arise — bad weather, an unplanned animal visit at an outdoor shoot, or anything else that may come our way.

OUR PROCESS

PRE-PRODUCTION

We get to know you, your story, and most importantly the vision you are trying to convey.

Working with you throughout this process, we:

  • Develop a story concept and create storyboards to frame out the film
  • Formulate and write a script if needed, and create a production plan for shooting
  • Select set location(s), set design and decoration(s) and source all costuming/wardrobe
  • Cast the actors and work with them to prepare for the shoot
  • Coordinate all scheduling and access our large network of contacts to assemble the best crew for your project

PRODUCTION

On the day(s) of shooting:

  • The director, production crew, and cast arrive on set to film your story.
  • We capture everything needed based on the script and storyboards and create some additional improvised content to get the best visual material for your project.

POST-PRODUCTION

Once all content is “in the can”, our talented team of editors work under the watchful eye of the director to:

  • Review all content and select the best parts to tell your story succinctly and powerfully
  • Add sound, music, and graphics to build a dynamic and compelling film

REVISIONS

You are given the “First Cut” of the project to review and provide feedback and notes:

  • We then refine the content according to your feedback.
  • Based on our contract agreement, we may do a second round of revisions if needed.

DELIVERABLES

Once the “Final Cut” is approved, we provide you with the video files to launch your story on whichever platform you choose: Web or Television.
