Let's Plan IT

The Questions Before the Cameras Roll

[001]

What kind of projects do you take on?

We work across brand films, commercials, documentaries, product films, corporate productions, social content, and motion design. From smaller digital content to full-scale productions, we shape every project around the idea, audience, and platform.

  • Brand films, commercials & documentaries

  • Product, corporate & social content

  • Motion design & graphics

  • From standalone films to campaigns

[002]

How does the production process work?

Every project starts with a conversation. We define the idea, goals, audience, scope, and budget before moving into creative development and pre-production. From there, we handle the production, post-production, and final delivery — with a clear process and communication throughout.

  • Discovery & creative direction

  • Pre-production & planning

  • Production

  • Post-production & delivery

[003]

What if we only have a rough idea?

That’s more than enough to start. You don’t need a finished script, storyboard, or detailed brief before contacting us. Bring us the idea, product, goal, or problem you want to solve, and we’ll help turn it into a clear creative direction and production plan.

  • No finished brief required

  • Concept, format & tone developed together

  • Clear scope before production begins

  • Built around your goals and budget

[004]

How long does a production take?

Timelines depend on the scope. Smaller content productions can often be completed within 1–3 weeks, while larger film productions typically take 4–8 weeks or more. Before we begin, we define the schedule, key milestones, and revision rounds so everyone knows what happens when.

  • Content productions: typically 1–3 weeks

  • Larger productions: typically 4–8+ weeks

  • Timeline agreed before kickoff

  • Revision rounds defined in advance

[005]

How much does a production cost?

Every production is different, but our starting prices give you an idea of scale. Content productions start from CHF 1’500, while full film productions start from CHF 4’900. After an initial conversation, we provide a clear quote based on the actual scope and needs of your project.

  • Content Production from CHF 1’500

  • Full Film Production from CHF 4’900

  • Clear scope & quote before kickoff

  • No additional costs without approval

[006]

Can you work with our team or on an ongoing basis?

Absolutely. We can lead the entire production, collaborate with your in-house team or agency, or step in for specific parts of the process. We also work with brands and teams on ongoing content, creating a consistent production setup across multiple projects and campaigns.

  • Full-service or selected production stages

  • Agency & in-house collaboration

  • One-off projects or ongoing content

  • Flexible setup around your team

[007]

Where are you based, and where do you work?

We have offices in Zug and Davos, Switzerland, and work with clients across the country and beyond. Depending on the project, we can produce locally, travel for shoots, or handle planning and post-production remotely.

  • Offices in Zug & Davos

  • Productions across Switzerland

  • International productions by arrangement

  • Remote planning & post-production available

[008]

How are usage rights handled?

Usage rights are defined clearly before production begins. Depending on the project, this can include considerations around music, talent, stock footage, locations, or other licensed assets. Any relevant terms are outlined in the proposal so you know exactly how and where the final work can be used.

  • Usage rights defined in advance

  • Third-party licensing clearly documented

  • Raw footage available by agreement

  • No licensing surprises after delivery
