FAQ

While most clients we work with are located less than a 1.5 hour drive outside of Chapel Hill, Early Rising Productions has worked all across the US, in Canada, and overseas. If your project requires an overnight stay, or extensive travel distance, please factor in the extra cost of travel, accommodations and equipment needs. We would be glad to help you.

Congratulations to you! That’s great news. Unfortunately, we would prefer to be a guest at the big event.

While we aim to create a package in line with our clients’ budget, there is no easy answer to this question. We would like to deliver the footage via the internet (and save you the cost of a hard drive), but sometimes that is not possible. We would always like to have a light or two, but either time, money, or venue does not allow it. On small jobs, we charge per hour for editing, and other times, editing is part of a larger package.

A home comes in all different shapes and sizes, and so do videos. Give us a call, or send us an email, and we’d be happy to discuss your project.

Early Rising Productions can be there from start to end and anywhere in between. Already shot your footage? We can edit it. Need just an interview? We can film it. Need help with a broader project of putting together a video with interviews and broll, then editing it with music and posting it online? Yep, we do that too. Wherever you are in your process, we’d be glad to help.

They are yours. Sure, we’d love to have a link to be able to share it on the Early Rising Productions website so others can see your great video, but we understand sometimes that doesn’t work. But we are more than happy to give you a copy of your footage.

If I had to give an answer, I’d say on average 1 month. But that is neither the rule or the exception. It varies greatly. How many people need to sign off? How long is the final video? How many revisions are you allowed. How quickly can we secure a location to film? What are the schedules of the interviewees?

A majority of Early Rising Production clients have filming needs that are accomplished in 1 day. Editing a video usually takes 3 weeks or so.

Early Rising Productions does have a teleprompter. Take a look at our equipment page to see what we work with. Do you need a teleprompter? That all depends on your project. Give us a call. We'd love to help you say just the right thing.

We work with many freelancers across the East Coast. If we don’t have something you’d like, we can get it for you to use on your project. Early Rising Production even works with a team that films with the Arri Alexa. That's the camera they used to film Hugo, Life of Pi, Gravity, The Revenant, Green Book, and more!
