How We Work

We Meet: You tell us your goals and your ideas (It’s okay if you don’t have any yet) and we start the process of envisioning your video together.
We Bid: Once we’ve hit on a concept you like and some basic parameters, we send you a bid.
We Sign: With the contract taken care of we’re ready to start.
We Plan: So many details! Script, interview questions, locations, people, schedule, and more! We’ll guide you through this important part of the process.
We Shoot: Half day, day or multi-day. We get all the footage we need and thank the video gods for their generosity.
We Edit: Media management, rough cut, feedback, revisions and all the finishing touches. You’ll have ample opportunity to weigh in and make sure everything is turning out to your satisfaction.
We Deliver: You get the files and your video goes out into the world for others to enjoy.

Gear

Below is a list of current in-house gear. When production requires additional gear we rent locally or online and pass the cost (with a small mark-up to cover the time it takes to pick up and drop off the gear) along to the client. For rental inquiries, please email info@whaleheartproductions.com.

We shoot on 4K cinema line cameras. They have excellent color space, slow and fast motion capabilities, and produce a very filmic quality to their images.

Canon C70

Canon R5C

Lenses

We use the best glass for sharp and beautiful images, even in low light.

Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L

Sigma 24mm f/1.4

Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS

Stabilization
