Humanoid Productions is committed to providing a finished production that goes beyond all your expectations. We cater for all productions from low budget (£200) to high budget (£15,000+), we believe in providing a professional service fused with creativity. This page is dedicated to outlining the production process at Humanoid and gives you a bit more information about the team.

1. Initial contact

The client gives us a rough description of the purpose and style of the video they would like produced, either by meeting our representative in person or via telephone (0845 052 6808), email (enquiries@humanoidproductions.com) or the form on our web site.  

2. Quotation

We draw up a quotation for the job, as described. The original idea can be modified to reduce costs before a budget is agreed upon.

3. Deposit

The client places a deposit, covering the pre-production costs of the project. This is charged at 25% of the full production cost.

4. Pre-production meeting

We meet with the client, and discuss the specifics of the project, lending our expertise and creative flair to planning the best possible video. This includes story-boarding of shots, selection of locations and cast, plus any other specifics such as timescale. Once the details are agreed upon, we prepare to shoot the video.

5. Shooting

We shoot the video to the agreed specifications and dates. The client can be present on set to ensure that their expectations for the video are being met.

6. Rough cut

We show the client our initial edit of the finished video, and take note of any feedback.

7. 2 modifications sessions

We return to the client with the new edit. This can be at the clients location or in our Stafford based offices. They are free to request a further two editions of the video with additional modifications, at no extra cost. Any Production under £500 is eligible for one modification session, each additional modification session will be charged at £75.

8. Final cut

The final version of the video is delivered to the client in the pre- agreed format, and they receive an invoice. Any pre-production costs not covered by the initial deposit will be included here. Any additional modifications requested will be quoted for individually.

 

Every job is customised to its individual specification and the above steps may not be applicable in certain cases however wherever possible this workflow will be followed to give the client maximum efficiency from us as a company. For further information please view our terms and conditions.
