how it works
Here's a quick walk-through of how it works. Not all projects are the same of course. And simple projects may skip a few of the steps below. In most cases, work can all be done remotely, if preferred. This process happens through a combination of video calls, pdf concept documents, work-in-progress reviews, written summaries and sign-off sheets each step of the way.
Step 1-Conceptualize
(Pre-production)
-Phone/email discussion about project theme/story
-Review any reference material you may have to share
-Schedule meeting

-Call to see if guidelines are going well
-Meet to go over story with client, collect reference materials.
-Review content and come up with 1-3 conceptual approaches
-Get sign-off on approach
-Negotiate revisions
-Deposit
