Quick Tips

Budget
Budget
Tips to help estimate, plan, and manage video project costs, including pricing strategies and cost breakdowns.
Budget
Estimate Early
Create a rough budget during pre-production to get a sense of your costs. Update as new needs arise, and keep track of expenses as your project evolves.
For best results, use Google Sheets or Airtable for tracking costs, and consider using industry-standard budgeting templates.
Budget
Start Small
Begin with a small project to understand the basics of video production. Focus on a 1-minute promo to test your team’s capabilities.
For best results, use your smartphone paired with a stabilizer like DJI Osmo Mobile. Free editing software like iMovie or DaVinci Resolve can help with post-production.
Budget
Outsource Editing for Efficiency
If editing is outside your team's expertise, consider outsourcing post-production to save time and achieve a polished final product.
For best results, use ProductionHub to find experienced editors, and provide clear style guidelines.

Scripting
Match Script to Visuals
Ensure that the script aligns with what’s shown on screen to create a cohesive and engaging experience for the viewer.
For best results, use Celtx or StudioBinder for pre-visualizing how the script will work with your visuals.
Color Grading
Color Temperature Balancing
Balance your color temperature to ensure consistency across all shots in your video.
For best results, use a white balance card and color grading software like DaVinci Resolve.
Framing
Frame Within a Frame
Create a frame within a frame by using natural or architectural elements to draw attention to your subject.
For best results, use a telephoto lens to compress the scene and emphasize the framing.
