When is payment needed by?Every The Place For Things Production has two payments*. The first payment is the deposit, which is required to lock down a filming date and is anywhere between 50% & 65% of the total budget. The second and final payment is due upon compeltion of filming. This is non-negotiable. We hope you understand. *Excluding the $500 Music Video Special. The full payment's required to book the filming date.

I just paid my deposit, where do I go from here?"Well first off, congratulations. You're one step closer to releasing some Hollywood caliber videos. After the deposit is made, we will discuss film date(s) and book travel.
-
Who takes care of travel?The artist is responsible for compensating the filmmaker's travel cost. Uber, lyft, taxi, airplane.
-
Who picks the cast?Every situation is different but casting typically falls under the "producers" juristiction so in most cases, the artist will be responsible for casting.
-
Who comes up with the ideas for the video?Typically, the artist comes up with the idea/concept for the video and the director brings that vision to life. If you're not comfortable concepting for your video, we can build a concept for an additional fee.
-
What all do you do when you Direct a video?This is a tricky question because all projects are genuinely different, but a good rule of thumb for the directors role is the "quarterback" on film days. They write off on all creative decisions before they're made and are responsible for communicating emotion/intention to actors all while maintaining morale during the shoot.
-
When is it best to shoot a video?We prefer to film between the hours of 5:00 am - 11:00 am and 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm. We've also found that weekdays are typically the least stressful for filming.
-
Do drones cost extra?Absolutely! It's an additional piece of equipment that sometimes requires a permit and ALWAYS requires a drone operator to fly it safely and effectively.
-
Is there any video "style" that you wont do?"Because every project is different and there is no "one size fits all solution" to filmmaking - yes, there absolutely are styles I won't make. VFX heavy/effect based videos are at the top of that list.
