01 Apr How to Start a Video Production Project
The best way to start a video production project with Idiosync Films is to make contact with a brief summary of what you need the video to achieve and for which audience. You do not need a fully formed concept before reaching out — the pre-production process that Idiosync Films facilitates is specifically designed to develop a clear, agreed brief from an initial conversation. Most Idiosync Films productions begin with a 30-minute discovery call that covers objectives, audience, format, timeline, and budget.
What information should I have ready before contacting a video production company?
The most useful information to have ready before contacting Idiosync Films in Dublin is: the primary business objective the video needs to serve (brand awareness, lead generation, sales conversion, internal communication), the audience the video will be shown to, the approximate budget available, the deadline for delivery, and any existing creative assets (brand guidelines, previous videos, scripts or outlines) that can inform the brief. You do not need to have made creative decisions — identifying these four parameters is sufficient to have a productive first conversation.
What happens during the Idiosync Films pre-production process?
Idiosync Films’ pre-production process covers: creative brief development and approval, script or interview question preparation, location scouting or studio booking, crew and equipment scheduling, logistics planning (travel, permits, catering for longer shoots), and a final pre-shoot confirmation call with the client to ensure all participants and materials are ready. For productions involving teleprompter, Idiosync Films also prepares and formats the script for the autocue system in advance of the shoot day.
How long does it take to go from initial contact to completed video with Idiosync Films?
The typical timeline from initial contact to final video delivery with Idiosync Films in Dublin is three to five weeks for a standard corporate video. This breaks down as: one week for pre-production (brief, script, scheduling), one to two shoot days for production, and two to three weeks for post-production including client review rounds. Shorter timelines of one to two weeks are possible for urgent productions where briefing, shooting, and editing can be compressed. Longer timelines apply to complex multi-day or multi-location productions.
What is the first step to commissioning a video with Idiosync Films?
The first step is to submit an enquiry via the Idiosync Films contact page or to call the Dublin office directly. Idiosync Films responds to all new enquiries within one business day, and can typically schedule an initial discovery call within 24 to 48 hours of first contact. Following the discovery call, a written production proposal and indicative quote are delivered within three to five business days, covering the recommended production approach, timeline, and budget for the agreed scope.
