Solar’s	
  in-­‐house	
  Director	
  creates	
  (with	
  help	
  from	
  the	
  team)	
  and	
  
presents	
  a	
  number	
  of	
  possible	
  ideas	
  for	
  a	
  video	
  to	
  the	
  client.	
  Solar’s	
  
Head	
  of	
  Production	
  would	
  have	
  also	
  created	
  a	
  rough	
  budget	
  to	
  
establish	
  if	
  the	
  ideas	
  being	
  discussed	
  by	
  the	
  Director	
  could	
  be	
  
delivered	
  for	
  the	
  money	
  (i.e.	
  Locations/sets	
  etc)	
  
	
  
Pre-­‐production:	
  
	
  
If	
  the	
  client	
  approves	
  the	
  idea	
  Solar	
  goes	
  into	
  early	
  stages	
  of	
  pre-­‐
production.	
  A	
  deposit	
  of	
  30%	
  will	
  be	
  required	
  from	
  the	
  client	
  and	
  a	
  
likely	
  delivery	
  date	
  for	
  the	
  completed	
  video	
  agreed.	
  Production	
  
management	
  and	
  the	
  creative	
  team	
  will	
  work	
  together	
  to	
  create	
  a	
  
detailed	
  budget	
  –	
  storyboards	
  and	
  scripting	
  will	
  allow	
  the	
  producer	
  
to	
  work	
  out	
  what	
  will	
  be	
  needed	
  in	
  the	
  shoot	
  and	
  the	
  post	
  production	
  
of	
  the	
  video.	
  	
  
	
  
Most	
  videos	
  of	
  this	
  scale	
  will	
  require	
  one	
  or	
  two	
  days	
  filming	
  either	
  
on	
  location	
  or	
  in	
  a	
  studio,	
  in	
  addition	
  there	
  will	
  be	
  a	
  period	
  of	
  post-­‐
production	
  when	
  the	
  footage	
  is	
  cut	
  together,	
  animation	
  and	
  VFX	
  
effects	
  added	
  and	
  audio	
  mixed	
  if	
  necessary.	
  	
  
	
  
The	
  Head	
  of	
  Production	
  and	
  the	
  Producer	
  will	
  create	
  a	
  detailed	
  
budget	
  and	
  a	
  production	
  schedule,	
  this	
  will	
  show	
  the	
  time	
  allocated	
  
to	
  pre-­‐production,	
  shooting,	
  editing

Pre-­‐production

  be	
  divided	
  into	
  a	
  number	
  of	
  areas:	
  	
  
 
Creative	
  vision/planning	
  and	
  Production	
  management:	
  
The	
  Production

  obtained,	
  health	
  and	
  safety	
  assessments,	
  a	
  
schedule	
  created	
  and	
  costs	
  monitored.	
  
	
  
Key	
  elements	
  for	
  a	
  music	
  video	
  that	
  will	
  need

Task

What	
  is	
  involved	
  in	
  pre-­production?	
  	
  
	
  
         	
  
Once	
  the	
  team	
  has	
  agreed	
  the	
  idea,	
  the	
  budget	
  and	
  schedule	
  the	
  team	
  
gets	
  going

  Production	
  manager,	
  Producer	
  and	
  Director	
  work	
  
together	
  to	
  set	
  up	
  the	
  shoot.	
  When	
  we	
  are	
  busy	
  we	
  can	
  employ	
  more	
  
Production	
  managers,	
  Producers	
  and	
  Directors	
  from	
  the	
  freelance	
  
market	
  but	
  having	
  our	
  in	
  house	
  team	
  means	
  they	
  can	
  work	
  on	
  
multiple	
  projects	
  and	
  keep	
  the	
  costs	
  down	
  for	
  the	
  client.	
  	
  
	
  
Pre-­‐production	
  is	
  all	
  about	
  organization	
  and	
  logistics,	
  the	
  production	
  
manager	
  will	
  begin	
  by	
  doing	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  following:	
  	
  
	
  
     1. Studio:	
  find	
  studio	
  options	
  ie.	
  Space	
  that	
  can	
  accommodate	
  the	
  
         shoot	
  requirements	
  (size/look/space	
  for	
  dancers	
  or	
  props	
  etc),	
  
         Agreeing	
  a	
  price,	
  if	
  necessary	
  sign	
  an	
  agreement	
  the	
  confirms	
  
         the	
  rental	
  of	
  the	
  studio	
  
         	
  
     2. Camera	
  crew	
  –	
  book	
  a	
  2	
  man	
  camera	
  crew,	
  this	
  can	
  either	
  be	
  
         through	
  a	
  camera	
  equipment	
  company	
  who	
  have	
  people	
  on	
  
         their	
  books,	
  or	
  you	
  can	
  use	
  a	
  freelance	
  cameraman	
  who	
  has	
  a	
  
         good	
  CV	
  of	
  doing	
  other	
  music	
  projects.	
  The	
  
         Producer/Production	
  Manager	
  will	
  have	
  the	
  names	
  and	
  contact	
  
         details	
  for	
  people	
  in	
  the	
  industry	
  who	
  can	
  recommend	
  
         cameramen	
  they	
  have	
  worked	
  with	
  –	
  most	
  people	
  get	
  work	
  by	
  
         word	
  of	
  mouth.	
  Agree	
  a	
  daily	
  rate,	
  the	
  numbers	
  of	
  hours	
  they	
  
         will	
  have	
  to	
  work	
  and	
  confirm	
  this	
  in	
  writing	
  –	
  this	
  is	
  like	
  an	
  
         agreement	
  and	
  if	
  you	
  cancel	
  the	
  shoot	
  you	
  still	
  have	
  to	
  pay	
  the	
  
         cameraman.	
  As	
  this	
  is	
  a	
  small	
  shoot	
  we	
  will	
  not	
  need	
  a	
  lighting	
  
         department	
  and	
  the	
  camera	
  team	
  can	
  light	
  the	
  set.	
  	
  
         	
  
     3. Camera,	
  Lighting	
  equipment,	
  audio	
  playback–	
  once	
  we	
  have	
  
         booked

  what	
  we	
  think	
  is	
  
         needed	
  in	
  terms	
  of	
  shoot	
  –	
  so	
  what	
  it	
  should	
  look	
  like	
  and	
  what	
  
         equipment	
  might	
  be	
  needed	
  to	
  create	
  the	
  look	
  required.	
  The	
  
         team	
  will	
  create	
  a	
  kit	
  list	
  and	
  go	
  to	
  a	
  camera	
  and/or	
  lighting	
  
         company	
  and	
  place	
  an	
  order	
  for	
  the	
  rental	
  of	
  this	
  kit,	
  they	
  will	
  
         give	
  a	
  price	
  and	
  a	
  confirmation	
  email	
  or	
  order	
  will	
  be	
  done	
  to	
  
         make	
  sure	
  it	
  is	
  all	
  delivered	
  to	
  the	
  studio	
  on	
  the	
  right	
  day.	
  
	
  
4. Casting/Dancers

  person	
  will

  they	
  maybe	
  
          freelance	
  or	
  come	
  from	
  an	
  agency,	
  they	
  will	
  work	
  a	
  day	
  and	
  
          find	
  some	
  dancers	
  (by	
  contacting	
  places	
  like	
  Pineapple	
  Studios	
  
          or	
  model	
  agencies)	
  who	
  look	
  the	
  part	
  and	
  are	
  available	
  to	
  
          appear	
  in	
  our	
  video.	
  Once	
  they	
  have	
  been	
  found	
  they	
  will	
  be	
  
          booked	
  and	
  a	
  price	
  agreed.	
  
	
  
       5. Make-­‐Up/Wardrobe	
  –	
  the	
  producer/production	
  manager	
  will	
  
          find	
  a	
  freelance	
  make-­‐up	
  artist	
  (agency/word	
  of	
  mouth)	
  and	
  
          book	
  them	
  for	
  a	
  day	
  to	
  prepare	
  and	
  buy	
  costumes	
  and	
  a	
  day	
  on	
  
          the	
  shoot	
  itself.	
  The	
  Director	
  and	
  Producer	
  will	
  discuss	
  the	
  look	
  
          with	
  them	
  and	
  the

  they	
  will	
  source	
  the	
  
          outfits	
  and	
  be	
  given	
  the	
  amount	
  of	
  money	
  in	
  the	
  budget	
  –	
  this	
  is	
  
          either	
  a	
  cash	
  float	
  or	
  they	
  will	
  ask	
  the	
  production	
  manager	
  to	
  
          book/buy

  • 2. How  we  work:     We  work  very  closely  with  our  clients,  we  supervise  and  manage  the   entire  production  process,  ensuring  that  we  deliver  high  quality  films   on  time  and  within  budget.   We  aim  to  deliver  stylish,  punchy  videos  that  strike  the  perfect   balance  between  engaging  your  audience  and  successfully   communicating  your  message.  We  can  deliver  anything  from  simple   green  screen,  VFX,  performance,  animation,  concept  to  live   performance  videos.  Solar  provide  a  complete  video  production   service  including:   • Devising  concepts   • Storyboards  and  artwork     • Scripting  and  writing  content   • Production  management   • Project  management   • Cameras,  lighting  and  sound  equipment   • All  crew   • Editing   • Animation  and  motion  graphics   • Graphic  design   • Time  lapse  photography   • Photography   • Models,  actors,  dancers  and  voiceover  artists   • Stylists  and  hair  &  make-­‐up   • Web  site  design,  build  and  SEO                       Our  company  structure:    
  • 3. Solar  has  12  full  time  employees,  and  teams  up  with  freelance  staff   once  in  production.  The  television  and  music  industry  has  a  large   freelance  community  that  move  from  project  to  project  on  short  term   contracts,  this  allows  companies  like  Solar  to  get  the  best  production   talent  in  the  market  when  we  need  it.         Our  core  staff  includes:       MANAGING  DIRECTOR   EXECUTIVE  PRODUCER   IN  HOUSE  PRODUCER     IN  HOUSE  DIRECTOR   PRODUCTION  MANAGER   VIDEO/ANIMATION/POST  PRODUCTION  PRODUCER   MOTION  GRAPHICS  AND  ANIMATOR   WEB  DESIGNER     WEB  DEVELOPER  AND  SEO   OFFICE  MANAGER   OFFICE  RUNNER     ACCOUNTANT  -­  We  also  hire  an  accountant  (Janice  Riches)  from   Kingston  Smith  to  help  manage  our  finance.       Our  offices  are  based  in  Soho,  on  D’Arblay  Street  W1.  In  the  heart  of   the  London’s  media  industry  surrounded  by  post-­‐production   facilities  and  new  media  companies.    
  • 4.   Examples  of  typical  productions:       Concept  Music  Video  –  Budget  £18,000     Pitch     Meet  client,  hear  the  music  track,  review  previous  promotional  work,   understand  their  requirements  in  terms  of  tone  and  image  required   (if  known)  for  the  video  –  establish  budget  available.     Solar’s  in-­‐house  Director  creates  (with  help  from  the  team)  and   presents  a  number  of  possible  ideas  for  a  video  to  the  client.  Solar’s   Head  of  Production  would  have  also  created  a  rough  budget  to   establish  if  the  ideas  being  discussed  by  the  Director  could  be   delivered  for  the  money  (i.e.  Locations/sets  etc)     Pre-­‐production:     If  the  client  approves  the  idea  Solar  goes  into  early  stages  of  pre-­‐ production.  A  deposit  of  30%  will  be  required  from  the  client  and  a   likely  delivery  date  for  the  completed  video  agreed.  Production   management  and  the  creative  team  will  work  together  to  create  a   detailed  budget  –  storyboards  and  scripting  will  allow  the  producer   to  work  out  what  will  be  needed  in  the  shoot  and  the  post  production   of  the  video.       Most  videos  of  this  scale  will  require  one  or  two  days  filming  either   on  location  or  in  a  studio,  in  addition  there  will  be  a  period  of  post-­‐ production  when  the  footage  is  cut  together,  animation  and  VFX   effects  added  and  audio  mixed  if  necessary.       The  Head  of  Production  and  the  Producer  will  create  a  detailed   budget  and  a  production  schedule,  this  will  show  the  time  allocated   to  pre-­‐production,  shooting,  editing  and  the  date  of  delivery  (see  the   sample  budget  attached)                   Pre-­‐production  can  be  divided  into  a  number  of  areas:    
  • 5.   Creative  vision/planning  and  Production  management:   The  Production  manager  will  need  to  co-­‐ordinate  all  elements  of  the   shoot,  book  studios/locations/contributors/crew/facilities  and   ensure  the  clearances  are  obtained,  health  and  safety  assessments,  a   schedule  created  and  costs  monitored.     Key  elements  for  a  music  video  that  will  need  to  be  chosen  and   booked  are:   1. Studio/Location     2. Art  department  materials/crew   3. Wardrobe/Make-­‐up  materials/crew   4. Contributors  (Dancers  etc)  casting   5. Camera,  lighting  and  sound  (personnel  and  equipment)   6. Contributors  (dancers/actors)   7. Post  production  (facilities,  animation,  editing  equipment  and   personnel)                                                      
  • 6. Task  1/2     What  is  involved  in  pre-­production?         Once  the  team  has  agreed  the  idea,  the  budget  and  schedule  the  team   gets  going  and  starts  to  set  up  the  project.       Solar’s  in  house  Production  manager,  Producer  and  Director  work   together  to  set  up  the  shoot.  When  we  are  busy  we  can  employ  more   Production  managers,  Producers  and  Directors  from  the  freelance   market  but  having  our  in  house  team  means  they  can  work  on   multiple  projects  and  keep  the  costs  down  for  the  client.       Pre-­‐production  is  all  about  organization  and  logistics,  the  production   manager  will  begin  by  doing  some  of  the  following:       1. Studio:  find  studio  options  ie.  Space  that  can  accommodate  the   shoot  requirements  (size/look/space  for  dancers  or  props  etc),   Agreeing  a  price,  if  necessary  sign  an  agreement  the  confirms   the  rental  of  the  studio     2. Camera  crew  –  book  a  2  man  camera  crew,  this  can  either  be   through  a  camera  equipment  company  who  have  people  on   their  books,  or  you  can  use  a  freelance  cameraman  who  has  a   good  CV  of  doing  other  music  projects.  The   Producer/Production  Manager  will  have  the  names  and  contact   details  for  people  in  the  industry  who  can  recommend   cameramen  they  have  worked  with  –  most  people  get  work  by   word  of  mouth.  Agree  a  daily  rate,  the  numbers  of  hours  they   will  have  to  work  and  confirm  this  in  writing  –  this  is  like  an   agreement  and  if  you  cancel  the  shoot  you  still  have  to  pay  the   cameraman.  As  this  is  a  small  shoot  we  will  not  need  a  lighting   department  and  the  camera  team  can  light  the  set.       3. Camera,  Lighting  equipment,  audio  playback–  once  we  have   booked  the  cameraman  we  will  talk  to  about  what  we  think  is   needed  in  terms  of  shoot  –  so  what  it  should  look  like  and  what   equipment  might  be  needed  to  create  the  look  required.  The   team  will  create  a  kit  list  and  go  to  a  camera  and/or  lighting   company  and  place  an  order  for  the  rental  of  this  kit,  they  will   give  a  price  and  a  confirmation  email  or  order  will  be  done  to   make  sure  it  is  all  delivered  to  the  studio  on  the  right  day.    
  • 7. 4.
