A picture's worth a thousand words. So, rather than write 14,000 words about the filmmaking process (cause that'd be a bit boring, wouldn't it?), we pulled 14 photos from some talented people on Instagram to tell the story instead.
Luckily for us, pulling 14 photos that document the filmmaking process was no big deal. Because few people document their workflow as avidly - and beautifully - as filmmakers.
We hope you enjoy scrolling through the photos as much as we enjoyed scrolling through #Filmmaking search results!
The Storyboard
You should never shoot without a storyboard. A storyboard will help you save time on production day and during post-production. And, it sets clear expectations for the client and for your crew.

All the Gear
You need film gear to shoot a video. How much gear you need will depend on a few factors like budget, location size, time of day, etc. etc.

Take 1...or Take 101
What's more iconic of a filmmaking set than a production slate? Nearly nothing (well, maybe a director yelling 'Action'). A production slate helps the production crew stay on track on the day of the shoot. It also helps the post production team sync the footage from multiple cameras and audio sources.

The Crew
The crew is the most important part of filmmaking. You can have a killer script, all the latest and greatest in gear - but if you don't have a great crew you won't have a great product.

Ready, set, Camera Speed! Now it's time for that incredible crew to come together and shoot the heck out of the project.

All of the Pickups...
And just when you think you've captured all the pickups, you realize that if you took this and shot it that way then your video would 1000% more awesome.

Get your team together, grab a beverage and clink those glasses, cans, what-have-you.
And then, on to the next production!
