The Video Production Process

Great ideas are meaningless without successful execution. At All Pro Media, we stand ready to be your support team. Whether you want us to do it all, or assist in any step of the production, we’ll be there. To help your understanding we’ve outlined the steps that go into the process.

Pre-Production Planning
Prior planning prevents poor performance… and plays a very important role in the video production process. Here are some of the steps involved.

• Determine project goals
• Create Outline & Script
• Arrange For Talent (if required)
• Establish Shooting Schedules
• Establish Shoot Locations
• Record Professional Narration
• Select Licensed Production Music & Sound Effects from extensive library

Field and Studio Production

No two projects are exactly alike. That’s why it takes a broad selection of tools to put the power of video to best advantage for our customers. We’ll start by helping to select the right equipment, format and crew to complete your project. This will be best determined by evaluating the intended use for your project, budget, and the estimated length of the program. It’s part of what goes into creating an investment that will have impact and value for many years.

Post-Production
From simple transitions to the most elaborate effects, our powerful nonlinear editing systems provide ultra-fast editing capabilities at the hands of our experienced personnel. A broad array of text and graphics, including 2-D and 3-D animation, are also used to enhance our projects at All Pro Media. These dynamic elements add credibility and viewer interest for the people you want to reach the most.

Closed Captioning Service
When your project is ready for television, the last step is to add FCC required captioning. Since January 1, 2006, the FCC has required that most new English language programming on television be captioned.

All Pro Media offers fast and affordable closed captioning services to meet your programming and accessibility needs.

Project Archival
When your project is finished, our job is not necessarily over. At All Pro Media each edited final production is maintained on digital video masters. This provides a safety master and a source for re-edits, but we don’t stop there. In addition, we are careful to archive the raw materials that go into the production including critical audio and graphic files. This care and attention to detail is just one of the ways we go the extra mile for our customers.

Duplication and Distribution
Perhaps you want to distribute your new corporate marketing presentation on CD-ROM with a pop-up splash page displaying your logo, phone number and maybe a link to your website (and please make sure it works on both PC and Mac). No problem! Let’s say that a year later you want to release the same video on DVD because the players are now common enough in business office computers. Again no problem… as long as you did your production with us. Regardless of the finished distribution format, we do our video on the same high quality digital formats and archive them to a digital video master. If you need a higher quality output later on, you can count on us for a solution.
