Project Story Short Film

Document the creation of a project in the making

From 2,500 US dollars

Service Description

A 2-5min video focused on a single creative project. Here we become your behind-the-scenes film crew, capturing key moments throughout the process of creating a single piece or collection, be it a painting, book, sculpture, installation, studio session or performance. Editing and direction for these pieces can range between cinéma vérité style documentary, or stylized, concept-driven, experimental, scripted narrative or semi-scripted works. The end result is a 2-5min cinematic short film which immortalizes the creation of your project for current and future audiences. These videos are used as showcase pieces in your online portfolio, or as as a case study pitch piece to give stakeholders deeper insight into your creative process. This project is offered at 3 levels of production scope starting at $2,500. All packages include: - Pre-production planning (concept development, scripting, logistics, etc.) - Minimum one half shooting day (3-6hrs) in studio or on location - Comprehensive post-production (editing, color grading, music, sound design, graphics) - Two rounds of revisions - Final delivery of (1x) 2-5min video file with optional unbranded hosting - Worldwide usage licensing in perpetuity for personal, promotional/marketing, website, YouTube, social media and portfolio distribution

You may reschedule your project at any time. If rescheduling before pre-production has begun, the full deposit amount will be applied to the rescheduled project with no additional fees. If rescheduling after pre-production has begun, a 15% service fee will be applied to the total project budget. Additional services beyond the scope of the initial project package can be booked via our website at currently published rates.

Film production is often volatile work and can be affected by many unexpected variables. We account for this uncertainty in our project budgets and production plans, and will make every reasonable effort to accommodate such changes without incurring additional costs to you whenever possible. We are flexible and can often find creative solutions in these situations. In any case, we will discuss these issues with you if and when they arise, and alert you to any foreseeable or potential added costs.

Projects booked by flat fee will be billed on a 50/50 schedule (Deposit/Delivery, Net 15). Retainer-based projects and subscription services are invoiced monthly. Subdivision by deliverable or other payment plans may be available. GVF offers occasional promos and discounts. Inquire for details prior to booking.

Project launch and production scheduling will be done at GVF’s earliest availability following Client’s booking; signing of Client Agreement; and payment of a minimum 25% deposit against the total project budget. Estimated turnaround time for first cut review is 3-6 weeks after production wrap per deliverable. Shorter or longer time scales are possible, depending on production scope and other factors. Pending availability, you may request an expedited project at a 20% rush rate. Editing timeline and final cut delivery is feedback-dependent during the review process.
