The Crew That Makes Magic Happen
Gaffer? Make Up Artist? Best Boy? Clapper Loader? Creative Director?!?!
Why do we keep our crew small? It’s simple. We want to make the best video with the least disruption to your day. Plus, a big crew can make people who aren’t used to being on camera feel nervous.
We’ve worked with big crews before, and sometimes we still do for special projects. But most of the time, we prefer to keep things simple and low-impact.
Imagine your boss’s boss walking into a room full of strangers in black t-shirts to be on camera. That’s what a corporate video shoot with a big crew looks like.
At Filmtime, we do things differently. Our small team is focused on taking care of you.
What if you want a bigger crew? We can arrange that too. If you need extra help, like hair and makeup or complex lighting, we can bring in more people.
Do you need more people at your shoot?
In most cases, no. But if you want more people and have the budget for it, we can arrange that. Here’s why our standard packages don’t include these roles:
Hair and Makeup
Gaffer/Lighting Design
Creative Director
Our team is creative, and on the day of the shoot, your team will get direction from our camera operator and producer. So, we’re providing two creative directors in a way.
Director
Our Producer acts as the director on the day of the shoot. We usually don’t need a separate director.
Extra Camera Operators
We usually don’t need extra camera operators. If your project is complex, we can bring in a second operator.
Autocue Operator
Production Manager
This work is part of the pre-production and is included in all our packages.
