PROJECT MISSION AND VISION

We have the following objectives:

Expert Storytelling It's important that we capture and communicate the story that you want to tell. This will require intentional collaboration from both parties throughout the life of the project so that we can understand the essence of your message and properly position it.

Quality Output Whether we are delivering a 30-second reel or a long format mini-documentary, the product will be of the highest quality.

Efficiency We know that your time and resources are precious (as are ours!) so we will work diligently to conserve both.

SAMPLE WORKFLOW

Phase 01

Kick Off

The Kick-Off Meeting is critical. During this initial meeting, we can establish a timeline, shoot dates ad deliverables. We will require a Fork Farms point-ofcontact and check-in schedule so that the project remains on track.

The other important aspect of the kick-off meeting is

Phase 02

Content Capture

goal setting, i.e., how will you measure success? And we will precisely establish output requirements including the length, tone and style of the minidocumentary.

Content Capture opportunities are time bound, so we will ensure our team's availability and technical

Phase 03

Editing

readiness with appropriate planning.

Editing is an iterative process that will require us to become familiar with your style. As we create a polished aesthetic that aligns with your brand, we will establish a point of reference style guide for future deliverables.

Phase 04

Product Delivery

In the editing phase, it will also be important to understand where you intend to place your content.

We can create a range of output with various aspect ratios, lengths and formats depending on whether your intended placement is to social media, a digital magazine, your website or a live event.

We anticipate having simultaneous workflows running throughout the life of the project as we continue to capture content and meet various placement objectives.
