No two video productions are exactly the same. One video may require a lightning-fast turnaround and less stringent production standards, while another might require an extremely detail-oriented process from the earliest stages of discovery right until the final cut.
That’s why Studio Spero offers both a Foundations and Signature video production package.
Each is tailored to the specific requirements of the video a client wants to create, and the decision to go with one or the other comes down to budget, timeline, and the level of sophistication required.
Key Takeaways
- Both Studio Spero packages deliver final products that look professional and have high production standards.
- The Foundations Package is designed for more budget-conscious clients who require less creative support and have quick turnarounds.
- The Signature Package involves extensive creative collaboration with senior staff, the highest production values, and detailed post-production.
What Is Studio Spero’s Foundations Package?
While we often work with clients who require actors, hair and makeup, dynamic lighting set-ups, and support throughout the creative and writing stages, not many clients need all of those steps. Some videos may require little more than a crew to show up and shoot.
The Foundations Package certainly involves more than turning the cameras on and pressing record, but it’s meant for clients who want to handle most of the pre-production work on their own and have videos turned around quickly.
Who Is the Foundations Package Designed For
Typically, the Foundations Package is for clients looking to create videos that may be more cost-effective and straightforward from a production standpoint. This includes:
- Clients who don’t have the budget for a full production
- Clients who want a streamlined product
- Clients who don’t require senior directors, camera operators, or editors.
What Sort of Projects Fit the Foundations Package
The Foundations Package is offered for most projects. The decision between the Foundations Package and the more involved Signature Package often comes down to the available budget for the video and the production’s needs.
For budget-conscious clients, the Foundations Package offers a few advantages:
- It costs less.
- The production process is quicker, and the final product can be delivered on a shorter turnaround.
- It’s a great entry point for clients with no prior video production experience.
What Is Included in the Foundations Package?
Every video production is different, and the requirements vary from project to project. Everything from shoot time to revisions and crew size can change depending on the needs of the production, but in general, with the Foundations Package, there are a few key things you can expect:
- Compared to the Signature Package, Studio Spero is typically less involved in pre-production for Foundations Package Shoots. That includes things like script writing and the creative stage.
- Production times are typically shorter with the Foundations Package as our junior crew takes the lead.
- There is less editing in post-production, as colour grading is not included, although colour correction is.
- Hair and makeup are not part of the package.
How Long Do Foundation Package Productions Usually Take?
Again, this can vary from project to project, and we can turn around videos on shorter timelines if necessary. Generally speaking, most videos take between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the project’s scope and the agreed-upon delivery times.
How Much Creative Development Is Included?
Certain clients require minimal support with the creative development of their videos and come to Studio Spero with a fully formed idea of what they’re looking to get shot. Others require a little more help with the creative process.
In most cases, our team will pitch a basic idea, and the client will provide their own, as well. Together, we’ll spend a couple of hours collaborating to ensure the video is ready for production. That makes it a more involved process for the client in some ways, as they will handle scripts, provide some location-scouting photos, and have less say in revisions during post-production.
Examples of Videos Created with the Foundations Package
Just because the Foundations Package provides a more cost-conscious option, that doesn’t mean the final products come out looking cheap or unprofessional. Here are a few examples of work done with clients who chose the Foundations Package:
What Is Included in the Signature Package?
While the Foundations Package delivers a great product on a cost-conscious budget, there are many videos that simply require a higher production value and a little more work. When clients choose the Signature Package, they get a deeper level of creative development, more collaboration from Studio Spero’s senior staff, and everything that comes along with the most professional level of video production.
What actually differentiates the Signature Package from the Foundations Package, and what sort of clients should choose the upgraded option? There’s quite a bit, but for starters, here are a few key things:
- Clients with a higher budget who want help through every step of production, including the early creative stages.
- Videos requiring the highest standards and a sophisticated approach to pre-production, the production itself, and everything that goes into post-production.
- Generally, the Signature Package is the choice for larger businesses looking to represent the sophistication and professionalism of the brand consistently.
What Creative Development Is Included in the Signature Package?
A big part of what differentiates the Signature Package is the support and collaboration that goes into the earliest creative stages of pre-production. Some of the most important steps in creating a dynamic, professional video take place before the cameras ever roll, and with the Signature Package, Studio Spero provides deeper creative development.
What does that look like in practice, though? Here’s what you can expect:
- Multiple creative pitches, ensuring the concept of your video is just right.
- A marketing-based creative approach designed to make sure the client’s goals are taken into account and adequately represented.
- Collaboration with Studio Spero’s senior staff throughout every step of the creative process.
- Professional lightning that’s designed in advance and shapes a consistent visual narrative.
What Premium Production Features are Exclusive to the Signature Package?
The Signature Package can be tailored to any project, regardless of scope. You’ll get everything you need to not only ensure the production goes smoothly, but that the final product that’s delivered to you is exactly what you were wanting and expecting.
Premium features that are exclusive to the Signature Package:
- Senior staff with extensive production experience
- Multiple cameras
- Professional lighting equipment
- Custom music
- Hired talent, like actors
- Hair and makeup
- Multi-day shoots
What Will the Final Product Look Like When a Client Chooses the Signature Package?
When a client chooses the Signature Package, Studio Spero’s post-production process is expansive. It’s designed to deliver a final product that surpasses client expectations, and it includes:
- 2 to 3 rounds of revisions to make sure the final product is just right
- Behind-the-scenes footage and stills
- Videos are colour-graded, not just colour-corrected
- Sound design and FX included
- Captions included, if requested
- Optional: Cuts built specifically for social media
