Pre-Production

CREATIVE CONCEPT

The Creative Concept is the glue that ties every aspect of your production together. It’s a plan for the look and feel of your message. It briefly describes the attention-getting visuals and gives a glimpse of the high-impact story telling that will create a mood and energy for your production.

SCRIPTWRITING

Equipped with the creative concept, the scriptwriter writes the words and envisions the pictures that will best convey the message or the story.

PRE-PRODUCTION PLANNING

Armed with the creative concept and script, the next step of the pre-production planning process is to create a blueprint for production. This includes scheduling a production start date and timeline, and finalizing plans for the all-important details that can make or break a production.

LOCATION SCOUTING

Our professional location scouts know the area inside and out and will work until they find the location that’s the perfect complement for your production. Before production begins, it’s usually necessary to visit and assess the location. Each location is unique and dictates the amount of equipment, lighting and other gear we’ll bring to the site. We’re also on the lookout for any special considerations or challenges we may face. Scouting a location avoids costly surprises.

CASTING TALENT

Casting talent means finding the right fit. We work with many local agencies that can provide a large selection of talent to pick from. You can go online to view cast reels and auditions. This time-saving method means you can easily decide on the right person for the job. We won’t stop until you have the perfect match.

Many of our clients are also looking for individuals who can test a product and offer a real on-camera testimonial. People can usually tell a real testimonial from a canned one. With this service, you’ll get real people with real opinions who can promote your product in a natural, convincing believable way.

THE SHOOT – STUDIO OR ON-LOCATION

The director’s job is to provide the striking images that make your message come alive. Good directors, with a keen eye, can convey ideas that require no words whatsoever, just the visual expression of them. Our directors live the sage advice, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” every day.

The director is supported by a skilled crew including set design, art direction, production audio and the gaffers, grips and others who collaborate behind the scenes to expertly assist in the creative process.

In the hands of an accomplished director of photography using state of the art cameras and lenses, along with the proper lighting, camera crane, dolly or steadicam, the script comes alive through striking visuals and creative interpretation.

STYLISTS/HAIR/MAKEUP

We use stylists and makeup artists to take a production to the next level. Makeup, when correctly designed for the lighting, gives a look that can’t be duplicated otherwise, and the right clothes and hair mean a sophisticated presentation of talent.

Post-Production

What Goes Into the Post-Production Phase?

EDITING AND ANIMATING

Vistamax offers a full range of post-production services so your vision continues from concept, to finished product. Our editors, graphic artists and audio adhere to strict technical television broadcast standards, and deliver a final polished mix.

The editing suites are outfitted with the latest equipment and software to assemble your project quickly, efficiently and just the way you, and your audience, want it. And our large stock-footage libraries, music libraries (or custom music coordination) and extensive sound-effects libraries will also enhance your production.

Beyond video editing and assembly, our creative team can create graphics, animations, special effects and logo treatments in collaboration with your art department to match your existing marketing materials or web design.

We invite our clients to join us during the editing process at our Tampa Bay location. If you’re unable to be here in person, we also provide internet- based viewing by uploading our work-in-progress to a secure online location where you can view and comment on it at your leisure.

Once you’re satisfied with your production, we can output your product into a wide array of formats. We are experienced in all delivery formats to make sure you get your final cut in any format you desire.

Our team is enthusiastic and excited at the prospect of working with you. Let us help your creative vision take wing and your message soar. Please call us at 813-907-1010.
