our projects
approach
At Kingbird, we utilize a research-based process to help in the design, planning, and execution of the project in collaboration with you and your brand, that results in high-impact results.
DISCOVERY
We get to know you, your brand, and your project. We first learn about you, and your brand’s goals, and overall vision, to understand the larger context for the project. We identify a central objective, so we can maintain a focus on that objective throughout the project. We dive into the heart of your brand voice, visual look, and feel. We’ll also help define your target audience, and identify your brand differentiation in the market. In understanding these elements, we’ll prepare for the next stage of the project.
CREATIVE SCOPE
We care, which is why we bring remarkable intentionality to the process of crafting your project. We begin by building a detailed definition of the creative project's goals, deliverables, requirements, and other elements that help ensure success. We’ll align the project’s creative strategy with your needs and expectations. This may include: outlining project goals, requirements for deliverables, assumptions, constraints, success criteria, project team, stakeholder roles and responsibilities, resource allocation, budgeting, and timeline.
STORYBOARD
As experts in the science of storytelling, we help to craft the project’s narrative, defining the key people, places, and plot elements of your story. We’ll design a detailed plan for how the project will unfold. We’ll collaborate with you to create the script and storyboard for the project at this stage.
PRODUCTION
Lights, camera, action! Our talented Kingbird Crew works together to implement the plan, capture the moments that matter, and bring the project to life. This is often the most exciting part of the process. We work closely with you and your team to create a seamless and elevated experience.
POST - PRODUCTION
In this phase, the Kingbird Crew will go back to “the kitchen.” We’ll work to implement the plan, focusing on editing, animating, color grading, sound mixing, and creating the master cut.
REVIEW + DELIVERY
Once our team has created the master cut, we’ll sit down with you to review the project. We’ll seek feedback to ensure that you are fully content with the project. Then, we’ll then make any final edits, and deliver the project to you. The project is now ready to be utilized to bring high-impact results for your brand!
