Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. That’s the simple motto we keep in the back of our minds when planning for a corporate video. By storyboarding the events, locations, and message everyone, S2F, clients and actors know exactly what is expected of them and when.
As most filming ends up only using 5% of the footage taken, it is paramount that we can be fully prepared for the days/weeks of shooting. Here at S2F, we are very organised when it comes to communication and planning. We find the more the client is aware of the expectations and messages, the more comfortable they feel.
Although we feel that an unscripted video comes across more genuine, we also have a scriptwriter in the team. This ensures the right creative messages, structure and business persona is kept throughout the video.
A lot of our clients prefer having something to work to as it gives them a main theme and a predetermined idea of what needs to be said, allowing time spent on the groundwork, preparation, and even a chance to learn their lines.
What storyboarding and scriptwriting does is ensure the filming and editing is efficient as well as effective.

In our experience, storyboarding and scriptwriting can be overlooked. Many businesses try to reduce marketing budget on storyboarding and scriptwriting. This is a mistake though. Your branding, service, people, and product are what differentiates you, so why use storyboarding and scriptwriting?
Quality videography can really make you stand out from the crowd. Call us for a chat on how we can make that happen.
What we’ve achieved over the last two days has been nothing short of phenomenal. S2F has been a pleasure to work in partnership with! This has left us all thinking about what comes next in the Nielsen. Thanks again for all of the hard work and support your giving us!

I just wanted to say that I think you have done a great job on the website. The photography etc is great giving the right look, feel and overall impression of the company; way beyond anything PMP has had online before.
