Getting started

Brief

Every production starts with a conversation. We’ll explore your project, define your goals, and refine the brief. This helps shape a clear direction before taking the next steps. A typical briefing will:

  • Discuss the concept, ideas, and creative direction
  • Identify key stakeholders and decision-makers
  • Define the scope, key objectives, and any logistical considerations
  • Explore messaging, tone, and visual style
 

Proposal

We’ll prepare a proposal outlining the scope, creative approach, and costs. It provides a clear structure for the production, detailing what’s involved and how we’ll move forward. A typical proposal will:

  • Refine the project brief and set creative objectives
  • Provide reference films for inspiration
  • Outline pre-production planning and key logistics
  • Allocate filming days and timeframes
  • Detail crew, equipment, and travel requirements
  • Estimate post-production and review timelines
  • Define deliverables and final outputs
  • Present fee estimates and production scope options
  • Include an agreement for all parties to sign
 

Commencement

Once the proposal agreement is signed and the deposit invoice is paid, we set things in motion. Key dates are booked, logistics are locked in, and preproduction begins. For larger productions, we may schedule a commencement call with all stakeholders to align on the next steps. We’ll also collect any relevant brand assets or materials needed for production.

“Ravens At Odds’ greatest strength is true creativity in capturing the emotive sense of the architecture; the sensory experience of the building and the people using the space”
Ash ParsonsBrand Coordinator, BVN Architecture
“Working with Ravens At Odds was an easy choice, because of their background in architecture and design. It simplifies how we explain things to you and how we create briefs. You just get it”
Andrew ForsythDirector, Aphora Architecture
“Prior to coming to site that day, Nikolas interviewed me on the phone, he looked at the floor plans; he understood the building. Even before I'd watched the first cut, I was confident it was going to be good. Because I knew, here’s a guy who's done his homework, he cares. I was impressed by that”
Lisa EvansNational Marketing Manager, Place Design Group
“Creativity fused with pure passion is what you get working with Ravens At Odds. Nikolas’ eye for detail and capturing things most people don’t see is impressive. Ravens At Odds’ ability to take a concept and turn it into a story has inspired us to rethink our own marketing style, all from just one video”
David GockelDirector, Gockel Architecture
“Watching a Ravens At Odds film is like experiencing a project for the first time. And in the best way without physically being there. There’s a humanistic scale and a slowness to the story. I appreciate the thought and consideration that went into it”
Ben ParkerDirector, Ben Parker Architecture
"Nikolas has a warm and engaging energy that puts everyone at ease, even when he's busy juggling the production on set. The result is a process that feels effortless, inspires confidence and is genuinely fun for everyone involved"
