You booked the shoot, now here's your play by play. From crew roll-up to file hand-off, this guide shows the simple, repeatable rhythm of an on-site production day, so you can skip the guesswork and focus on the win.
Crew Roll-Up (T-60 min)
Two videographers pull up fast, traveling light. Just a couple of bags and a tripod cart.
They ping your point-of-contact, get the five-minute tour, and claim a staging spot.
We bake in a full hour to scout, light, and sound-check. That cushion keeps the day on rails.
Interview Block (T-0 → T + 3 hrs)
One location, more questions. Dragging gear room-to-room burns daylight.
Share the talking points ahead of time; prep your talent day-of. Our editors will handle the polish, your job is good vibes.
Plan 15–60 min per guest. Have the next speaker waiting outside so we can swap mics and roll again fast.
Shoot in the quietest spot you’ve got. Post can fix a lot, but jackhammers are a beast.
Refuel Break (1 hr)
Camera ops are humans, not robots. One hour to grab a bite, recharge batteries, and shift to the next setup.
The crew brings their own lunch, but a local sandwich spread never hurts morale.
B-Roll Blitz (T + 4 → T + 7 hrs)
Goal: 4 hours of footage = ~1.5 minutes finished gold.
Your contact unlocks doors while the crew fans out for maximum coverage.
Got “must-have” shots? Call them out. Our plan is flexible, not psychic.
Wrap & Pack (T + 8 hrs)
Gear down, space spotless, van loaded 30 minutes, tops.
Footage starts uploading to MarketScale servers right away.
That’s a Wrap
