What to Prepare Before a Shoot

Preparing the following the day before easily saves more than half the time on shoot day.

Location — check outlet positions, ambient noise (AC units, fridges) and whether the time slot falls inside business hours.

Product and props — bring more than you think you need, with clean labels. Small stains or dents read much larger in a close-up.

On-camera talent — if someone will appear on camera, share wardrobe notes (avoid loud patterns or logos) and their available time in advance.

One line of message — come with a single sentence describing what the video ultimately needs to communicate; it lets us judge what extra shots to grab on site.

We'll also send a shoot-specific checklist tailored to the content during the consultation.
