Storyboards can help your commercial or film production shoot in this Covid world!

Storyboarding

Following all these production guidelines; like remote shooting, social distancing, packaged catering are bizarre and overwhelming.

Thankfully storyboards can facilitate your commercial or film production. Storyboards can help organize your thoughts, tell your story, sell your idea, help during your shoot. And now, storyboards are being used to help visualize production in this strange new world.

Yep! It’s true! We just completed two jobs. One director needed storyboards to help visualize a location where they had to scout and shoot remotely. He needed to share his thoughts on how he was going to shoot the spot. So, storyboards came to the rescue and helped communicate his message to the on-site crew.

The other project, well this is how she put it… “The client is very wary to shoot so we’re proposing that we storyboard to help visualize our production approach for shooting with all the COVID guidelines in place (in terms of distanced talent etc).”

We are finding this need more and more. So if you want help visualizing how to shoot your next spot, don’t hesitate to call us. We are seeing this a lot these days — and we can tackle it.

Don’t be overwhelmed, just remember Joe’s blog post from years ago… Back in ancient times…there were pictures and words. No matter what happens, don’t worry production will continue to shoot, brands must share content, tell stories and hire crew.

We’ll get through this or we’ll adapt. Years will come, years will go! After-all, we are homo-sapiens —humans. We’ve survived a whole lot throughout the ages. We will survive this and we’ll continue to tell stories in this strange new world.

So, What’s your story? What shooting guidelines are you facing in production these days? Hit reply and let me know.
