Short-format Production & Post-Production
It’s got to have production values but your project doesn’t play by all the conventional rules. Given your concept’s edginess, the funky green screen compositing you want to do, the über-nicheness of the content vertical, the run-and-gun unknowns of a doc style etc., you know there’s a little bit of risk as to how much return on investment you’ll see. Risk *ah, the smell of it* may be the engine behind all things thrilling, but you’re no chump, you’ve decided to spend time and money only on an as-necessary basis. You know it needs to be polished but not perfect. You want great shots with the kind of lighting you see in your mind’s eye, maybe even make it look just like film with some 35mm prime lenses – cool! You’re going to have b-roll and clever transitions along with tight editing move your piece along to captivate your audience. And, shhhhhh: one of our secrets a kickin’ color-correct leveraging a wide-range of digital tools to make every inch of your cut sure to dazzle! (Or just plain not get noticed for mismatching shot colors because we’ve fixed ‘em – phew, that was close.) You’ll review the cut twice with a final look-see just to make sure we haven’t fumbled the ball before you sign off on delivery. Once you’ve posted your actual show video or simply written about your project online, we’d most appreciate you linking back to the bigcitypix website — thanks!
