The Shark Awards’ Post

Clients are more production savvy than ever. Their brands’ production efforts are “always on”- and it isn’t all coming from you.  Clients can retain the same creatives, producers, directors, editors, VFX, and music houses as any creative agency - for lower rates and faster turnaround times. Ensure your clients aren’t paying a premium for the same talent they can retain elsewhere for less.

"One thing that hasn’t changed is the worth ethic of executive producers." I spoke with Riff Raff Films' newest addition to its US team - Romy Jo Waller, who has joined as executive producer for music videos and special projects. Read the full interview below: LBBonline - Little Black Book

We are onboarding a new client Berg Propulsion🔥 We are looking to connect them with some great sound recordists / designers. Who do we have in my network???? - comment below pls! Would be great to spread the net wide for this one. Sound is the unsung hero in film production. 💯 Talent list: Sound Designers - will be created and delivered at the end of this week. So pls update your portfolio (now with audio upload) and LONG BIO as soon as possible. THANKS! --------- Creative Database is dedicated to finding the right talent for the right work. Quickly and effortlessly saving 10 x time and energy. 🏃♂️ Part of this is the 1, 2 ,3. 1 - Search with out AI search assistant 2- Save them in a talent list 3- Send an availability request and get live updates of their "availability status" ... and then move on with planning your project. Our hypothesis is that this Availability Request IS what's missing in the industry today. It's not a job offer from a client, it's not a blind job application sent into the ether from a 100 freelancers never to be read. It is the first contact between potential client and potential creative. (Both are not committing) It's minimal effort from both sides and maximum information for both sides before the final decision is made and commitments are made. Comment below if you have any thoughts on this!

Yes. Images, voice/sound, texts and arts generated by human are copyrighted. Do you or any contacts of yours need our expertise/IP, a copyrighted multilingual metadata, that can do what high technology, like AI, high-end chips, supercomputers, etc., can't do NOW? Thanks. Without metadata, NO data can be found/retrieved, even by the most advanced technologies, like AI, quantum computers, etc. Metadata is an enabler, which is universal and fundamental. https://lnkd.in/g-aJFnXR

The duration of a video doesn’t determine the cost to create. It’s a common misconception that in the video production world, a “short video” = cheaper than a longer one. Not always true. Take the annual John Lewis Christmas ad for example. Just 30 seconds long. But costs £Millions in production. Why? It involves a lot of moving parts, resources, creative development, multiple crew and filming days, location hire, specialist equipment, actors, voice-over, music composition, visual FX, etc. Whereas a relatively simple sit-down interview with some compelling supporting footage of your business/products, could be 3 minutes in duration, but cost just a few £k. It all depends on the creative elements and resources that go into your production, and the result you need for your available budget.

Good afternoon everyone! This text is addressed to both my current and future clients. It will be especially useful for producers, as I want to show why our work is worth its money. Let's start with timings: At the moment, our production team has over 4 major projects underway: 3 commercial and 1 music video. It's worth emphasizing that one of the big projects includes 10 commercials of up to 45 seconds each. Producers, you realize what a big amount of work it is and what tasks need to be solved. I can proudly say that after filming completed on September 2, we provided the first drafts for clients on September 15. They already included rough sound, voiceover narration and graphics. We all realize that every downtime in post-production is costly. Meeting deadlines is a critical skill. We achieved this by optimizing work within the team by dividing tasks between three independent editors. This solution allowed full access to all projects and edits without slowing down work on other clips. Thus, all 10 clips were processed simultaneously, and edits on one project did not interfere with the others. I'll tell you more about it later. #Postproduction #Commercial #Post

With a mix of short films, commercials, social media content, music sessions, and wedding videos, simply stringing them together would have been easy... 💪But I wanted more than just a catalog; this reel needed its own identity 𝗦𝗼, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆? 🔊 In this case, with music leading the rhythm, I used sound design to create atmospheres that keep the video engaging, helping the viewer immerse in what they see. ✨ Finally, I used smooth transitions to bridge the gaps between styles and a set of #videoediting techniques to ensure a seamless viewing experience. 🍿 #videoeditor
