FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

1.How do we go about getting a programme made?

If you have an idea for a programme, we meet with you to get more info and then prepare a detailed budget.  If you are happy with our quote, we sign a working agreement and begin production.   

We co-ordinate everything needed to deliver a professional quality end-product. It helps us to have a liaison person who we can work with to get things done within your organisation.  

2.What formats do we need the programme on to market our products internationally?

There are three main television systems in use around the world and it's important to know where you intend screening your programme before making copies.  We can advise on the appropriate formats during the planning stage.  

With all our films we make ' international tracks' - these are sound tracks with everything except the commentary,  in case you want another language version at a later stage.  

Producing additional language versions is simply a matter of translating the original script, recording a new commentary and mixing a new sound track.    

3. What are the costs involved?

Each programme is completely different from the one before it. Some require only a day's shoot and the editing can be completed in another day.  Other programmes require extensive travel and shooting and these costs are added onto our usual production fees.

4. What hidden costs are there?

Obviously if changes are made to the production after we start work, these costs are added to the original quote.   

Experience has shown that with adequate planning, there should be no need to modify the production if the script has been well-written and the production planning has been done adequately.

If there are over-runs as a result of our inability to perform, these are done at no additional cost to you.
