dramatic production services

what is it?

We have an experienced group of people who can take your video or live production from start to finish.  From ideation to casting, production to editing, Sanestorm will enable you to produce the video/live event that will highlight any product or service for its maximum benefit.

what do dramatic productions involve?

• Initial concept: Once we have a sense of your budget and general themes, pass over your specs to Sanestorm and we’ll come back at you with three or more production ideas. Looking for comedy? Parody? A more didactic approach? Let us know.
   
• Creative brief: We use a production-specific variation of our creative brief that allows you to describe the feel you’re looking for along with specific ideas and requirements. We make sure we understand your goals, your audience and your requirements before moving forward.
   
• Outline: We’ll work with you on an outline that guides us all through general production issues (live/taped performance, number of attendees, location requirements, timeline, etc.) that will allow us to generate the specific and workable ideas you need to move forward.
   
• Scripting: A Sanestorm forte. We work with your company and representatives through every step of the process to present you with the most original and powerful presentation possible for your production. Whether you’re using professional actors or people from your company, our scripts are workable, memorable, and delivered quickly and in whatever formats you need
   
• Casting: If you’re using outside talent, Sanestorm can arrange to locate local or national talent through our casting resources in New York, Los Angeles, or in your local market.
   
• Directing: For both live and taped productions, Sanestorm cofounder John C. Havens will direct and shape your production to suit your company’s needs. Working on a "good rep/bad rep" video and want to feature a professional actor alongside a manger from your company? No problem. John has worked professionally on Broadway, TV and in films with actors and non-actors alike, and knows how to bring out great performances in a business production setting.
   
• Production and post-production: As recently as 10 years ago, it was impossible to shoot high-quality video at prices most companies could afford. Recent advances in digital cinematography, editing, production and duplication have now brought this world within reach of many organizations. Whether your final production will be delivered by broadcast, video, DVD or the Internet, we’ll make sure it gets to the audience the way you want it to.

why do this?

Video is an incredibly compelling media. We are all familiar with the power of TV and the movies to entertain, educate, influence and impress. You can put that power to use for your organization. Deliver your message to customers, employees and shareholders in a way that delivers emotion and intensity as well as a message.

why do it with sanestorm?

We’re business people and theater people. We understand how and why the two worlds can complement each other. Think about the how a live performance with a group of professional actors and executives from your company would impact your sales force. What about an interactive annual report, where interviews with key contributors explain your last year’s successes? Online training videos for new employees; motivational productions for volunteers; dramatizations for HR compliance issues; the list goes on and on.

Sanestorm consultants have participated in, produced, and directed numerous shows including concerts, benefits, corporate shows, seminars and recruiting events. We understand the importance of creating a captivating, seamless, and succinct presentation to create a memorable and entertaining experience.
