Our Production Process?
Learn about WA Studios' video production process.
1.First things first
Have you or your company been involved in a video production before? Whether you have or haven't, you've made a terrific first step in promoting yourself or your business by checking out what a video production company can offer.
The future is video. It's true. If an image can speak a thousands words, a moving image can really get the point across, and you need moving, engaging videos to steal your audience's attention.
You won't get there with an article, and you won't get there with a photo. You need something alive, that shakes up your scroll-weary public and shows them something they haven't seen before.
This is how we do it...

3.Plans and Schedules
Following the meeting, we'll send you a write-up of what we've discussed, along with proposed dates for the shoot, a rough schedule for what the shoot days will look like, and a quote.
We'll lock in some dates, and give you a good overview of what will occur on the day. Then we'll set about coordinating crew, talent, equipment, props, etc.
If interviews are to take place, we'll send through questions that will be asked of the interviewees. If there are particular actions that are needed of talent, we'll ensure the talent is rehearsed and ready to go.
4.Shoot and Edit
The time has come. Shoot day.
We'll arrive early. Set up. Ensure crew and talent are prepped, and get into it.
If exterior drone has been ordered, we will generally shoot this early or later in the day to catch the best light. Check out some drone work on the Commercial page.
Following the shoot, a timeline will be set up for the completion of the edit. We'll get cutting, and send you an edit we are happy with within the week.
If there are any changes, we will work on this masterpiece until you love it. Any other cutdowns of the hero edit will be included in the initial quote. Expect all editing to be complete within two weeks.
