FAQ
Questions you may be holding.
If you don’t see your question here, we’re glad to talk through it during a consultation.
How far in advance should we begin?
We recommend a minimum of 2–4 weeks in advance to secure dates, locations, and any necessary permits (if needed). For more complex productions or travel, begin 2–3 months ahead to allow time for booking, pre-production, and stakeholder coordination.
Who is usually present on filming days?
Typical on-set personnel include a director/producer, and camera operator; Clients may have a representative present, and interview subjects or talent will be scheduled as needed. We keep the crew as small as possible to remain unobtrusive.
Can parts of the conversation remain private?
Yes. You can request that specific portions be excluded from the final edit or treated as confidential. We can note takes to omit, set restrictions on raw footage access, and include confidentiality terms in release forms if needed—please tell us before filming so we can document preferences.
Do you work with clients who are camera-shy?
Absolutely. We use short, conversational takes, warm-up questions, and an off-camera interviewer to create a relaxed environment. Many people become more comfortable after a few minutes, and we can schedule multiple short sessions so participants can ease into being on camera.
Where are you available to travel?
We travel regionally and nationally and can support international shoots with advance notice. Travel fees, per diems, and logistics are discussed during booking; we’ll provide a clear travel quote once dates and locations are confirmed.
