Production
As we prepare for the big day, you’ll notice that it’s not quite as simple as ‘Lights, Camera, Action.’ This old adage only tells a small fraction of the story. Here’s what to be aware of come production day.
PREPARATION
There are a few things you can do to prepare for the big day.
DAY OF
Several moving parts are involved in production day.
[ what we need from you ]
Preparation
While we do most of the heavy lifting, we need a few things from you to ensure your production day goes as smoothly as possible.
CLEAN UP
Make sure your office looks camera ready! Declutter, hide large trash cans, remove old boxes, and perhaps arrange for your cleaning crew to come through.
WARDROBE
Look your best! Don’t wear stripes or busy prints. Solids and subtle patterns look best on camera. Remember to let team members know in advance.
CAMERA PREP
If you’re being interviewed, be prepared to answer questions in complete sentences.
If we have let you know that we will be providing craft services for your production, please fill out this quick form 1 week before your shoot date to alert us of any vegetarian-preferences and allergies!

Day of Production
We need some time and space until it’s lights, camera, action! Production days are fun but intense, so having the proper space to store our gear and enough time to set up are important to ensure a smooth shoot.
PARK & LOAD-IN
We will arrive with a lot of gear. Like, a lot. If possible, please provide us with parking spots close to an entrance with roll-in access.
STAGING
We need a place to store our gear for the remainder of the day. Ideally, it would be at least 200 square feet, out of the way, contain power outlets, and most importantly- is safe.
SET UP
All great things take time, including our set up. It typically takes between 1-2 hours to completely build our gear for the day.
We are almost to the end!
