brand storytelling: creative process timeline
1.
Background & Discovery
We’ll begin with a complimentary discovery call to explore your business goals and story. I’d like to learn who you and your team are, what drives you, and how your business operates. Feel free to share any materials—podcasts, articles, brand examples—that illustrate your vision.
After we talk, I’ll put together a few scope options and we’ll shape the one that fits you best.
2.
Pre-Production Planning
Here we refine creative concepts, coordinate logistics, and establish a detailed shooting schedule.
We’ll meet to brainstorm, discuss and finalize key visual elements— like color palettes, lighting moods, and the overall art style for graphics or animations.
I’ll guide you through each decision to ensure every artistic detail reflects your brand identity.
3.
Production
Everything we’ve planned comes to fruition as my team and I captures high-quality footage that truly brings your story to life.
I manage every aspect of your shoot such as camera and lighting setups, sound recording, interview prep (questions queued and talent briefed) —so you get a professional, organized, and energized set where nothing is left to chance and your vision comes through in every frame.
4.
Crafting & Refinement
In this phase, I transform your raw footage into a polished final product. This includes professional editing, color grading, motion-graphics creation, and audio mixing.
Feedback is always part of the process, so we can make revisions and ensure the final edit reflects your vision
5.
Final Delivery
Your finished videos will be sent via a secure download link, giving you immediate access to all high-resolution files.
Along with the assets, you’ll receive a concise distribution guide outlining optimal formats and sharing tips—so you can deploy your videos smoothly across any platform.
FAQ
Do you work solo or with a team?
How long does a brand-story video cost?
Pricing varies with scope—things like shoot days, crew size, and post‑production needs. I’ll build a custom quote that fits your goals and budget, with no surprise fees. On average, projects start around $5,000.
How long does a brand-story video take from first call to delivery?
Most brand-storytelling projects run 4–6 weeks:
-
Discovery & Strategy (1 week)
-
Pre-production—script beats, scheduling, crew (1 week)
-
Filming—usually 1–2 shoot days
-
Post-production—editing, sound design, color grade (2 weeks)
Rush jobs are possible; just let me know your deadline up front.
Who handles the script for bRand videos?
I craft interview prompts during discovery and pre-production, tailored to your audience. On set, we talk conversationally—not like a quiz—so your answers stay relaxed, genuine, and on-brand.
What’s your process for event videos?
1. Pre-production: refine concept, goals, and shot list; review any reference videos you share to align on creative direction; coordinate with event planners and the venue.
2. Filming day: multi-camera coverage, high-quality audio recording for clear speech and presentations, plus optional livestream for remote audiences.
3. Post-Production: edit and deliver the assets specified in our agreement—highlight reels, social clips, or other formats—within the timeline we set together.
Can I book just a short reel?
Absolutely—stand‑alone social reels are available. Let’s chat about the best package for your needs.
How do payments work?
A 50 % deposit secures your date, and the remaining 50 % is due when the project is completed. Virtual payments—Zelle, ACH, or credit card—are welcome.
ABOUT me
I’m Cecilia, a San Francisco-based filmmaker passionate about visual storytelling. With experience in every stage of production—concept, scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, and editing—I craft compelling narratives with a strong creative vision.
With a background in Image and Sound Design from the University of Buenos Aires, I specialize in documentary filmmaking and actively write and direct personal film projects.
Through my video production business, I collaborate with a diverse range of clients, including small/medium businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs, and artists.
For me, filmmaking is more than just capturing visuals—it’s about creating a genuine connection with the world and the people I meet. My work is driven by authentic storytelling, focused on capturing not just the brand but the essence and dedication behind it. I believe every story is unique, and my job is to uncover it and shape it into a piece that resonates with its audience.
Whether it’s the passion of an entrepreneur or the vision behind an artist, my goal is always to create personal, authentic visuals that capture the heart of the work and make a lasting impression.
