At Distill Media, we believe that a successful video is the result of a deliberate and collaborative process. We do not just show up with cameras and hope for the best. Instead, we work alongside your team to ensure every frame serves your broader business goals. Our workflow is designed to be transparent and predictable, allowing you to plan your marketing or communications strategy with total confidence.
Collaborative Pre-Production
We work closely with our clients to respect their specific timelines. Often, we can be ready to film within two weeks of an initial discovery call. In other instances, there is more back and forth as we collaborate on the look, feel, and core messaging of the project. This foundational stage is critical because it ensures that the technical execution aligns perfectly with your brand identity.
Professional On-Location Filming
On the day of the shoot, we arrive with a fully stocked production van. This mobile unit ensures we have everything we need on location at any point. Our kit includes professional lighting, high-fidelity audio gear, cinema cameras, and various specialized lenses. Having this extensive inventory on hand allows us to adapt to changing conditions and ensures your shoot goes smoothly and professionally.
Post-Production and Secure Data Management
Once the filming is complete, all footage is securely backed up to our production server. It remains protected there until the editing phase commences. When the first draft is ready, we provide it to the client and encourage a thorough review with their team. We include two rounds of revision in our editing rate. This ensures that the final video turns out exactly how you anticipated, or even better.
Transparent Rates and Proven Results
Our pricing is straightforward to help you manage your budget. We typically charge by the day or half day, with a day rate applying to any shoot over four hours. This rate is comprehensive. It includes the videographer and all the gear needed to achieve your goal, including specialized tools like a teleprompter or a drone where required. This method has worked extremely well for our clients over the last ten years. It keeps our process efficient, our rates competitive, and our clients happy.
