Successful film projects need planning... and lots of it.

At 37 South Films, we’re all about detail. To get a great production that’s delivered on time, on budget and on brief, you need to think ahead. Pre-production for a TV commercial, corporate production or documentary is the vital step that makes the entire process run like clockwork. 

We take the time to make sure that your budget is maximized and that your production is delivered when you need it. 

Here’s how 37 South Films look after the details: 

• Budget – documenting every cost before we do it, so you always know the final figure
• Directors -  we have a range of talented directors whose skill base is matched to the project 
• Production timeline – the start to finish of what we do and what you need to get the job done in a format that everyone understands
• Project Managers/Producers – essential to make the job stay on track
• Shooting format – broadcast quality, high definition, video or film….  It's all about selecting the right shooting format for the job
• Location surveys – finding the right location and working out all the logistics
• Crew selection & booking – DOP (Director of Photography), Gaffer (Lighting), Sound Recordist, Autocue (reading from a screen) .. putting together the right people to get the job done
• Sets & props – organised and supplied
• Music – using library music or having a unique composition created and recorded
• Final format – DVD, Quicktime Files, Window Media Files, broadcast files… how it will be screened and what format is required
