Process
From the first note to the finished film.
Five steps. The schedule, the edit, and the handoff are written in the quote for that event.
-
01
You send the event.
The quote form asks for your name, email, the kind of event, the date, the venue, and a description. Phone is optional. Sending the form does not reserve the date.
-
02
The location is confirmed.
Filming is in Chicago. The reply says whether that venue can be filmed on the date you sent.
-
03
The quote names the coverage.
You receive a written quote with the parts of the day to film, the film or films to deliver, the price, the timing, how you will pay, how files will be sent, and the cancellation terms. A booking exists when both sides accept that quote in writing.
-
04
The day is filmed.
Filming follows the accepted quote and the venue’s rules. For a wedding, that is the ceremony and reception you listed. For a corporate program, it is the run of show. For another gathering, it is the moments you marked.
-
05
The film is delivered.
The edit matches the quote. Files go to the contact by the method written there.
What you can prepare
A timeline, even a rough one. The venue name and any rule you already know about cameras. The names of speakers or readers. For a company program, the run of show. For a wedding, the order of the ceremony and who is giving a toast. These details make the quote specific. They are not a substitute for the written acceptance.
What stays in the quote
How long the edit takes, and how the day is covered, are agreed for that event. Read the page that matches the day: weddings, corporate events, or other gatherings.
Send the first note.
The form is short. The quote is where the scope becomes specific.
