Everything is negotiable. We operate with these fundamental principles: fairness, win/win negotiations, maximizing ROI and profit while maintaining the highest quality possible, above and below the line. The fact is you don’t want the cheapest service or equipment. Cheapest doesn’t mean best value, it means cheapest. You may have heard the saying, "Good, fast or cheap, pick two." It's mostly true. However, we work to provide our clients with all three. It's possible, but not easy.
Make sure as you plan your next or first production you are well informed
with your eyes wide open. There are enormous differences in TV, Film, HD,
SD, Web
and social media productions. The workflow of productions is more important
today than ever before. We are experts in the multiple formats from which end users
are accessing your content. Never losing sight of your viewers is critical to production success.
Consulting fees are negotiable and vary depending on the experts needed to
properly assess your plan or production.
