So you have a project, idea or piece of work that you need developed, edited or converted to a new format. What should you know before giving us a call? While you are welcome at any stage to contact us and discuss the possibilities, it is helpful to have a bit of information handy when you call.

If you have some footage and need it converted to a new format, it is helpful to know the following:

• How long is the original material?

• What format is the material currently on? (eg.. Mini DV, Betacam SP, VHS etc...)

• What would you like to convert it to? (eg.. Digital Betacam, DVD, etc...)

• What will the end-product be used for? (ie: internet download, video CD, presentation, etc...)

• Do you require a master from which copies can be made in the future?

• How many copies/duplications do you require? Do you want them all in the same format? (eg.. 10 x VHS and 50 x DVD)

• Do you require artwork? (eg.. design for DVD slicks or disc face artwork)

• How soon do you need it done by?

If you are planning a production from start to finish, it is helpful to know the following:

• How long will your production be?

• Who is your audience and what is the purpose of your production?

• Where is it to be screened? (eg.. Broadcast TV, projected at a corporate function, etc...)

• What's your budget?

• What timeframe do you have in mind?

• Do you have a script or would you like our writers to produce one for you?

• Is music required? Would production music be adequate or would you prefer an original composition?

• Would you like to use animations or graphics within your piece?

• Do you have corporate logos or branding that you would like included and can you provide us with high quality copies?

• Is talent in the form of actors or voice-over artists required?

• Is location shooting required? If so, where, what type of environments?
