Unit Photography Creates Marketing Gold

Photography of key scenes, principal actors, director, and other key team members create e a valuable image library that is used and reused for many applications over the life of a film – and that can be as long as 20 years!

• Movie Publicists need stills for media contacts
• Film Distributors need stills for ads, posters and mailers
• Theatre and Group Exhibitors need stills for newspaper ads, fliers and posters
• Film buffs and consumers need stills for autographed mementos
• And Producers need stills to sell their current project…and their next project!

Production stills can be pulled from Quicktime digital video -- but they aren’t high enough quality for print enlargements.

The most effective way of building this valuable photographic record of your film’s key elements is to plan ahead during pre-production. By bringing a unit photographer into the production plan, you can identify the key scenes that need to be photographed, schedule time on-set for key actors and directors to be photographed amidst the glamorous moments of creativity, and save money by not having to recreate costuming, lighting and sets at a later date.

DVD packaging benefits from quality Titling and photos

Marketing materials help tell exhibitors and film fans your story, help position the film as intriguing and worth seeing, and make your film stand out in the onslaught of the more than 6,000 films that are released each year.
