Is it possible

Can I produce a video in Portugal without flying in?

Yes. You brief us by video call, approve the treatment and the plan in writing, and review each version online. You only need to travel if you want to be on set.

  1. The brief

    A video call about what the video has to achieve, who it is for and where it will be seen.

  2. The proposal

    What you receive, the calendar and the price, in writing.

  3. The treatment

    The idea and the look of the film, approved before the shoot.

  4. The shoot

    We film in Portugal, following the plan you approved.

  5. The review

    Each version online, until you approve it.

The brief

How do you brief a remote video production?

With one video call about the objective, the audience, the tone, the references and what you need to receive. We follow up in writing with a summary and, when it helps, a moodboard, so you approve the direction before we film.

Following the shoot

Can I watch the shoot happen if I am not there?

If you want to follow the shoot as it happens, tell us in the brief and we agree how. Otherwise, you see the footage when the first version arrives for your review.

The Beyond Portal

What is Beyond Portal and why does it matter for remote clients?

It is where you review the project online. Each deliverable has its versions, you comment on the exact second of the video and approve with one click, and two to three rounds of revision are included. The project only closes when you approve it.

When to travel

When should I fly in instead of producing remotely?

When the people on camera need you in the room, as in interviews with your own executives; when it is your first project with a new supplier and you want to meet the team; or when you simply want to see the shoot. For products, spaces and brand films with a clear brief, working remotely goes well.

Formats and time

What formats and turnaround should I expect from a remote production?

The formats you need: horizontal for the website and YouTube, vertical for Reels and TikTok, square for the feed, and subtitled versions when you ask. Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks from the brief to delivery, with 1 or 2 days of filming, and brand films and documentaries can take up to 8 weeks.

Tell us what you need to film, from wherever you are.

We reply within 24 hours on working days.
