your investment
we get it. you’re spending a lot of money and you want to make sure you get what you pay for.
understand that when you work with Casta, you’ll get so much More than you pay for.
it’s easy to look at the price and say “wow $500 for just a two hour session?!”, but there’s another full day dedicated to editing the video And depending on the package you get, there’s an additional half-day to full week dedicated to just planning the video…not to mention the cost of the equipment alone.
combined with the knowledge, skills and experience that Casta has acquired over 10+ years of working in the field, you’re truly getting more than you bargained for!
-
once the deposit is paid and our services are officially booked, we hop onto a call to discuss overall vision for the project.
This is when the artist has an opportunity to discuss their ideas / concepts for the video if they already have any.
-
Location scouting - for the silver and gold packages, we find the perfect locations for you.
for the platinum package, we book, secure permits, access, and manage scouting logistics efficiently.
crew + talent - We assemble a hand-picked team of directors, cinematographers, stylists and supporting crew from our trusted network.
scheduling + logistics - we manage call sheets, timelines, and crew schedules to ensure a seamless pre-production pipeline.
overheads & shotlists - we develop precise visual plans, details shotlists, and pre-visual materials that align creative and production needs.
-
camera & lighting - With our industry-leading camera gear and lighting equipment, we shape each frame with precision and intention.
production design - since everything in front of the camera matters, we focus on filling the frame with meaningful and intentional design in order to support the tone and emotion of the video.
hair & make-up - an artists image is everything when it comes to their story and branding. We work closely with the artists to develop unique looks that reflect the mood, emotion, and creative style of the video.
costume & wardrobe - wardrobe is crucial to an artist’s likeness as well as essential for effective story-telling. we work closely with the artist to source garment, fabrics, and accessories that align with the tone and vision of the project.
-
storage & organization - The first critical step in post-production is storage and organization. all footage is copied, labeled, sorted, and synced across secure systems to ensure nothing gets lost and the edit runs smoothly from the start.
rough cut - The next step is editing a rough cut of the video to set the pace and tone that aligns with the treatment.
vfx - once the cuts are locked in, we sauce it up with some visual effects in order to enhance and elevate the Final Cut.
*the scope of effects is determined by the scale of the project and not every project gets VFX.
color grading - the final polish that shapes the tone and mood of your video.
final delivery - The video is exported in the highest quality to preserve color, detail, and compression and delivered to the client.
