Pre-production

We work closely with you during the pre-production project planning phase to get the best result possible. Our budgets clearly outline the services and costs so there are no surprises down the line. Since every successful project needs a strong script, we offer a range of script services. If you want to wite your own script, we can review and make recommendation on the script you write. If you want full-service script creation, we have writers who listen to your ideas and goals, perform the research, and craft a script. We can also create storyboards as needed as well as a production plan for your video.

Production

There are many production elements that go into any video shoot. These include the number and type of cameras, lights, mics, and sets. Tell us about the parameters of your project, and then we can quote you a price. At Nitecat Media we look for creative ways to cut costs and bring your video in on budget. For example, we often turn corporate conference rooms into temporary production sets, saving hundreds of dollars in studio rental expenses.

Give us a call at 415-564-9930 to discuss your project and we'll give you an estimate.
