Documentary Production Process

Concept

We create original and commissioned documentaries. We are fantastic collaborators and this stage can be the most fun!

Script

Research is the key in this step. And casting the right talent is paramount to successful storytelling. Our studio has expert producers who specialize in this difficult and challenging task. It can make or break a script!

Voice Over

Fire Starter Studios contracts the most outstanding group of voice over talent in the industry. If your project requires A-list talent thru commercial professional voice overs, we can bring in the talent that your project needs.

Graphics & Animation

From 3D maps to 2D lower thirds, a professional and appropriate graphics package is created for every project. Documentaries should have a feel and a style and this is where a lot of that will be created.

Production

Our preproduction and production phases are well planned, professionally executed, and meticulously filmed. And in that time, we have a great time! Our clients come back time after time because we understand how to make the project a team effort. We are experts at making documentary subjects feel welcome, safe, and heard. Sometimes you just can’t rush things. Our expertise in getting people to open up to us has created not only industry accolades, but a warm thank you from the interview subjects themselves. THAT means everything to us.

Post-Production

Our in-house post production team is beyond what any company should be allowed to have at their company. Creative, forward-thinking minds that love to collaborate with clients, with each other, and constantly making the producers up their game! They are constantly pushing one and other forward with the best and quickest way to get your media completed on your schedule.
