Our Mission
Our mission is to create exceptional visual solutions for our clients, bringing their story to life with vision and inspiration.
PRE-PRODUCTION
Like the foundation of a building or the skeleton of a person pre-production places the groundwork elements of the production; therefore, this stage requires the most work.
We’ll work with you to develop the process that best tells your story. We are a full service script-to-screen facility and we’re happy to jump in at any stage. Whether your project is a national TV spot, documentary series, or an animated explainer, though the pre-production development may be different, the essence of our combined passion remains the same. Your story, our inspiration.
To name a few of the pre production sets:
● Audio/Video Engineering and Consulting Services
● Casting
● Equipment Rental
● Location Scouting
● Production Coordination
● Script Writing
● Storyboarding
PRODUCTION
Here’s where we really get moving. During production, Bonnemaison wants to co-pilot your project with you. We’re a lean crew with a big shoot spirit – and we want you to be involved. This is the phase where rubber meets the road, and we put our plans into action. From in-studio and on-location productions, multi-camera livestreams, or reviewing animatics for a motion design project – the production phase is where our team will come together to shape the project.
● Commercial
● Documentaries
● Educational
● Live production
● Short films
● TV series
● Web-streaming
POST-PRODUCTION
Now your story comes to life. The post-production process ties everything we’ve talked about together. This is where the evolution of the project takes its final form. As storytellers, we create projects that we’d like to watch – and with that in mind – we think you’ll like to watch it, too. During this phase, our team enjoys collaboration and group efforts – that way project visions are achieved and surpassed on time and within budget. We’re ready to tell your story…so let’s get started.
