Question 2

What do we need to provide?

Accepted Answer

Media production is varied and each production carries varied requirements but the first question we'll ask of any on-site shoot is, "is the location safe?" Other than that, it's pretty straightforward and any particulars for your production will be discussed during pre-productionIf we are filming interviews or talking head pieces, a quiet, low traffic space with access to power is usually preferred as it allows us to set up all the nessisary equiptment and gear for production.If we are filming product or demonstration materials, we will need access to those products for production. If we are filming in a public place (like the CBD or SouthBank Parklands), we will need to arrange the appropriate permits with the Brisbane City Council (or similar authorities).
