Drop us a line.
We're always excited to meet filmmakers, directors, producers, editors and anyone else who's inspired by our mission to change production for the better.
Process
Our clients are TV networks, production companies, ad agencies, brands, and music labels.
Here's how we join them as creative production partners to bring their vision to life.
01.
Shape the Approach
Working with our clients, our Hometeam Creative Producers will absorb the goals of the campaign, subject stories, locations and production constraints and then shape a creative approach to capture content in the most efficient way with the right Hometeam crews and filmmaking tools.
02.
Curate the Crew
Based on your creative, your subjects and their locations, our producers will search our network of Hometeam filmmakers to locate the best-suited crews to capture content locally on time and within budget… each with consistent gear, styles, and levels of experience.
03.
Create the Shoot Playbook
In pre-production, our Producers will conduct subject pre-interviews and create shooter Playbooks - storyboards, style guides, camera specs and extensive shot lists - which will guide our local Hometeam filmmakers.
04.
Execute Remotely
Without the need to travel, our local Hometeam filmmakers will capture subject stories. Crews will follow our Playbook and key interviews will be conducted in-person or remotely by a director. Whether a client wants to monitor every shot, or just conduct a remote interview, we’ll provide a remote video village to tune in.
05.
Footage Delivery
& Hometeam Post
All crews will work with similar or same cameras and follow exact shooting specs to capture consistent quality of footage. We coordinate with your post team to ensure that files will be meticulously organized and delivered by hard drive in a timely manner.
If you'd like us to handle editorial, we've built Hometeam Post-Production to bring together a global network of best-in-class post production pros to bring your deliverables across the finish line.
