With years of experience, we are experts at working with clients who experience on-camera nervousness. We offer pre-shoot coaching sessions, provide calming techniques, and give clear, positive direction during filming to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

What happens after we decide to use Natural Focus Digital for our video project?

At Natural Focus Digital, every client is extremely important to us. Once you decide to work with us, we'll begin with a collaborative process to refine all aspects of your video, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, and location scouting. We'll then provide you with a free, detailed quote.

Before the shoot, we schedule a pre-production meeting to ensure all details are aligned. After filming, you can expect a first draft of your video within 1-2 weeks. We then offer a revision process to ensure your complete satisfaction. Final videos are delivered in your desired format.

We have a very small budget can you still help us?

We offer video packages designed to accommodate a range of budget levels. Contact us via email or phone to discuss your project. As a full-time business, we are unable to provide services for free. However, we are happy to work with you to find creative solutions that align with your financial constraints.

How long will it take to produce a video from concept to completion?

The timeline for video completion varies depending on the project's complexity, but we typically deliver short videos (under 5 minutes) within 2-3 weeks after the shoot. This timeframe includes editing, color correction, and sound mixing.

Factors like the number of revisions and the complexity of motion graphics can influence the final delivery date. We work closely with our clients through each stage of the production process to ensure that we meet your deadlines.
