Origination & Pre-Production Services
The origination and development of your vision and project idea together with RSG begins with emails, a meeting over the phone and goes into the first development meeting. From there RSG will help you to build a solid pre-production plan schedule for your project which includes all aspects of your project from start to finish to help you achieve the highest quality possible while staying on task, on budget and on time. Every good project begins with the idea, discussion and pre-production planning. Remember solid pre-production is THE KEY to a great production! Generally RSG pre-production costs range from $200 to $1000 depending on the size of the production.
Full Production Services
RSG Offers Fully Equipped Multi Camera, Lighting, Audio On Location Production Services. The average cost of an RSG Production Day ranges greatly and can be anywhere from $1500-$6000 per day depending on the size of the project production ie 1/2 or full day rate, size of the crew and amount of equipment needed. This rate does not include any additional costs there may be for location use fees, talent hires or special equipment needed. Our rate gets you us and our gear on time and ready to work hard to complete your production as quickly as possible while maintaining high quality.
Post Production Services
RSG offers full post production editing services in Adobe Premier, time line, effects, sound design and color. We also offer in house voice over as well as some simple animation and graphic art and design. Post production editing is HUGE for your project and generally takes the most time! They say your done editing when you pull the plug and what that means is there is always more you can do to your project in post. One minute of finished footage can literally be hours of editing. Beyond collecting all your needed assets and planning your production accordingly, the art to managing post production successfully is having good editors, understanding your project's time and money budget up front and knowing when to pull the plug. Again, this falls within our belief system of producing the highest quality within our clients time and budget frame. RSG Post Production costs will vary depending on the amount of post work and editing involved on the project. For example RSG post production costs for projects that are 30 seconds to say 8-10 minutes can run from $500 to $5000.
Photography
Basic simple photography and/or still shots are included with our Production Services. Additional special photo shoots and additional photo editing outside the normal production plan will incur additional costs.
Scriptwriting
We have seasoned affordable writers available to us for hire from creative to commercial to medical to product to training to non profit. Remember your project is only as good as your product or story!
