Doug's decades-long career in Production guarantees an agreed to and completed project that is both memorable and effective.  Experience and expertise are valuable commodities that insure your project will be worth your investment.

You should expect your project to go through 5 recognizable phases:

DEVELOPMENT:

In the development phase a concept is created (including identifying whether the project is a Documentary-Style or Scripted Narrative Style), and (for a narrative) the script is written. (With Documentary Style projects, the script is written after the filming process)

PRE-PRODUCITON:

Pre-Pro involves planning and organizing, including locking in the crew, casting talent or booking interviews, and scouting/securing locations.

PRODUCTION:

Production is the actual filming process, where all footage that needs to be shot (Interviews or Acting Scenes, and Footage that is needed) happens.

POST-PRODUCTION:

In post-production, the raw footage is edited, sound and visual effects are added, and the final cut is completed.

DELIVERY:

When you receive your FINAL project(s).

Doug's experience with live event production involves the planning and execution of events that happen on stage, in an arena or a massive stadium.  These events can also be broadcast or streamed in real time: concerts, sports events, award shows, or conferences... The process consists of several key stages:

Pre-Production: Planning is crucial, starting with defining the event’s goals, theme, and structure. This phase involves assembling the production team, securing venues, obtaining permits, and organizing logistics like lighting, sound, and video equipment. The script or run-of-show is created, outlining the timing and sequence of activities, while rehearsals are scheduled to ensure a smooth flow.

Technical Setup: In the days leading up to the event, the technical crew sets up the equipment on-site. This includes setting up staging and lighting, installing cameras, audio systems, and projection screens. Testing the gear is essential to avoid technical difficulties during the event.

Rehearsals: Rehearsals are conducted to fine-tune performances, presentations, or sequences. This allows the production team to adjust lighting and sound, camera angles, lighting, ensuring the event runs as smoothly as possible.

Live Execution:  During the event, everything happens in real-time. As the event unfolds on stage, the director calls camera shots, manages transitions, and ensures that the event sticks to the schedule. The production team coordinates the live feed, switching between camera angles, managing audio levels, and handling any unexpected occurrences.

Post-Event:  After the event, the production team may create a highlight reel, process recordings for on-demand viewing, and feedback is gathered for future events.

Live event production requires a high level of coordination and adaptability, as there’s no opportunity for retakes, making real-time problem-solving essential.

Doug's major strength is Story Telling.  When it comes to  a brand story that involves creating a narrative that communicates the essence of the brand—it can contain values, mission, and the unique journey that led to its creation. A strong brand story connects emotionally with the audience and makes the brand memorable and relatable. The process can include the following steps:

(See the Jasper Ventures / Corporate Identity Story on our Work page)

Define the Brand’s Purpose: Start by identifying the core purpose of the brand. This includes understanding why the brand exists, what problem it solves, and how it makes a difference in people’s lives.

Understanding  Your Audience: Crafting a brand story requires deep insight into the target audience—what they care about, their pain points, and their desires. The story should resonate with their values and experiences.

Identify the Founding Story: The origins of the brand often form the heart of the story. This could include the challenges the founders faced, their passion or vision, and the “aha” moment that led to the creation of the brand. Authenticity is key here, as real stories build trust.

Highlight Core Values and Mission: Weave in the brand’s mission and core values into the narrative. These values should be central to how the brand operates and communicates. The story should reflect not just what the brand does, but why it does it.

Incorporate Emotional Appeal: A great brand story appeals to emotions, whether it’s through inspiration, empathy, humor, or passion. By tapping into emotional triggers, the story becomes more engaging and memorable.

By telling a compelling and authentic brand story, companies can differentiate themselves from competitors, build trust with their audience, and create a lasting emotional connection that strengthens brand loyalty.
