TECHNICAL APPROACH & METHODOLOGY Workflow With over twenty five years of video production experience behind us, EP principals have an efficient workflow with which to approach this project: Pre -Production The production will begin with a meeting between EP and the City stakeholders to precisely map out the details of the project's parameters. All pre -production meetings can be conducted over Zoom, as the current pandemic situation may warrant. EP principal, Daniel Gamburg, is a director/writer. Daniel will have a list of questions prepared and submitted, but a natural conversation is priceless. This meeting will nail down the parameters on which to base a script for each instructional video. Daniel will ask for all forms and paperwork which will aid him in developing a script. The first meeting will result in an EP generated memo, which will summarize the rough approach we agreed to for the video program. Once the outline for each video is approved we draft and submit the scripts (with storyboards if we go with animation) for approval. Usually three rounds of drafts are sufficient, but we fine tune the script to everyone's satisfaction. Once the scripts are approved for production we create a shot list, confirm locations, and schedule and notify every one of their participation dates. Production The shoot will take place over the span of two days, unless we go with animation. One day will be dedicated to filming our presenter against a green screen with a teleprompter, either at City Hall or in our home studio. We estimate it will take a full day to record 10 scripts, totaling about 75 minutes of dialogue. On the second day, we will film all the interiors with staff and extras (if possible — due to COVID-19), and then exteriors, including drone shots and construction sites. EP will handle this project with a 4-person crew. We keep a small footprint, arriving in a minivan or an SUV. Our workday is up to ten hours and we take a break, for lunch. Post -Production After ingesting all the shot footage and other available visual or audio material into the editing system, the editor (Daniel) begins the first cut. The green screen will be replaced with a white background, graphics and music will be added, and the first round of edited videos will be uploaded to a password -protected page for the City to view, share, and comment. After receiving feedback on the first cut, Daniel revises the program and again posts it. Just like the script, three revisions are generally sufficient to bring the program to everyone's satisfaction, but we don't have a hard limit on the number of revisions, we make sure everyone is happy before we move on. Because there is a total of 10 videos, we estimate at least two days of editing per video. This is due to the back and forth notes and revisions which comes to 20 days. On top of the 20 days, we estimate and additional 5 days for color grading, sound mix, translation and closed -captioning, which totals 25 days of editing. EP INC.
