SHOOT CHECKLISTS

Prepare for your upcoming shoot with us.

  • Video File Management
    Laptop / Desktop: We recommend that our clients save all video files to one location. External hard drives work best to manage large file sizes, help keep you computer clear, & also share video files within your team / network. Mobile Phones: We recommend downloading the free app "Collect" by WeTransfer. This will help you save time & make it easier to preview / save large video files, photos, & more. When you click the WeTransfer download link(s), it will automatically load in the app "Collect". You can preview your files & also save directly to your phone. This will help you share the videos to Instagram & other video platforms on mobile. For best performance, connect to a WiFi connection.
