Initial Consultation & Pre-Site Planning** The process starts with an in-depth consultation to understand the client’s needs and the project’s scope. This stage includes: - **Project Overview**: Discussing the site’s purpose, key phases, and specific shots needed, such as equipment in use, personnel at work, safety compliance, or completed structures. - **Site Logistics**: Reviewing access points, safety protocols, and any necessary permissions or clearances to ensure seamless entry and shooting. - **Shot List Creation**: Outlining essential visuals like wide-angle site shots, action photos of personnel working, equipment operation, and close-ups of key processes. - **Video Requirements**: If video is needed, clarifying the type of footage required (e.g., time-lapse, interviews, action shots) and storyboard planning if applicable. **2. On-Site Photography & Videography Execution** When on-site, safety is a top priority. Equipped with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), I follow the established protocols while capturing high-quality visuals. Key aspects of this stage include: - **Site Photography**: Documenting construction phases, wide-angle shots of the site, and action shots of personnel and equipment. Capturing important moments like concrete pouring, welding, crane operations, or inspections. - **Personnel Photography**: Highlighting team members at work, capturing candid shots that show collaboration, and posed shots that spotlight key personnel for company use. - **Video Recording**: Filming footage that showcases construction progress, team interviews, or specific processes. Drone footage may be captured for aerial perspectives if permitted and necessary. - **Adaptability**: Being flexible to shoot in various lighting and weather conditions while adjusting settings for optimal quality. **3. Post-Production Editing & Review** Back in the studio, I begin the curation and editing process to ensure the final media files meet the client’s vision and project goals: - **Photo Editing**: Selecting the best shots, enhancing images for brightness, color correction, and retouching where needed, such as removing minor distractions to ensure a professional look. - **Video Editing**: Compiling footage, adding transitions, background music, voiceovers, or text overlays if required. Ensuring the final video flows smoothly and highlights key moments effectively. - **Consistency**: Ensuring that both photos and videos align with the client’s brand and visual standards. **4. Final Delivery of Photo and Video Files** The completed photos and video files are delivered through a secure, user-friendly platform. Clients receive: - **High-resolution images** suitable for print and display. - **Web-optimized images and video files** for easy online sharing on websites, social media, and promotional platforms. - **Customized video formats** based on the client’s intended use (e.g., full-length project overview, short clips for social media). **5. Follow-Up & Client Satisfaction** Once the media files have been delivered, I follow up to ensure satisfaction and address any questions or additional requests. This may include making small edits, providing additional file formats, or discussing future projects. By following this structured process, I ensure clients receive comprehensive documentation of their construction site and personnel that highlights their hard work, progress, and adherence to quality and safety standards.
