Consultation & Briefing

Whether you approach us with a loose objective or a fully developed storyboard, this initial phase is where we get to know you. It’s where we learn more about your business history, your vision and long-term goals to position yourself as number one in your sales market.

INCLUDES:

Creative workshops, Creative consultancy Research, Creative audit, Competitors analysis and Production consultancy.

RESULTS:

You will receive a written proposal in which we will summarize the objective and scope of the project, and outline our proposal according to your budget and/or a cost and schedule estimate.

Is it Effective?

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

We will lay out an approach to paint a more vivid picture of what the end result could look like. They provide everyone involved with the right tools to share and discuss their vision and expectations of the project to help us develop a well thought out concept.

INCLUDES:

Creative direction, Storytelling and script writing, Storyboarding, Look & Feel development through mood boards and style frames, Character design and illustration, Mood film editing, Music research and sketches.

RESULTS:

After narrowing down and adjusting the options on how to bring your message to life, our concept paper reaches the point where everybody can get behind it and you as a client are comfortable to commission the production.

Proper Planning

PRE PRODUCTION

Now all wheels are set in motion. We organize, order, scout and craft everything needed to create the images and films we all envisioned. Every important aspect of the production is defined in the pre-production booklet.

INCLUDES:

Organization of the shoot, Casting supervision, Location finding, Special effect tests, Director’s interpretations Animatics, Art direction, Set design and set building Model making

RESULTS:

Before the production starts, all parties involved come together for the pre-production meeting. Here you get the chance to review the contents of the booklet, choose from presented options and raise last minute requests within reason, while we take you through our road map for the whole production.
The Process

Production

We shoot live action.
In studio. On location. Anywhere the story needs to live.

Empire Pictures handles every frame that happens in front of the camera and everything that comes to life digitally.
From visuals to sound, our team builds a seamless, cinematic experience from start to finish.

Nothing generic.
Everything intentional.

 

INCLUDES:

Live Action Production

  • Full studio builds for film and photography
  • Directors and Directors of Photography
  • Cinema-grade camera systems and specialty rigs
  • Practical and special effects
  • High-speed motion control for precision shots

 

Visual Effects & Animation

  • VFX supervision
  • Photorealistic CGI
  • Character animation and digital environments
  • Seamless integration between live action and CG

 

RESULTS:

After the shoot, we consolidate all captured material and organize it into a clear, structured review gallery.

For stills, this includes selected image compositions grouped by scene or concept.
For film, this consists of curated footage or an assembled viewing cut that allows for efficient review.

A private review page is then prepared, giving you a single place to view, comment, and provide feedback.
This ensures everyone involved can assess the material, align on direction, and approve what moves forward—without confusion or back-and-forth.

The Aftermath

Post Production

All of our post-production services aim to enhance the impact of your message. We elevate the quality of the captured footage and fuse it with digitally crafted elements to create one-captivating result.

INCLUDES:

Color grading, Compositing, Retouching, Visual effects, Photorealistic CG elements and extensions, End tags and packshots, Title design and Motion graphics

RESULTS:

After a couple of iterations, where we incorporate your feedback, we present you with the final moving and still images. You sign off on the masterfiles and we start adapting them for broadcast, print, stream, post or screening.
