What is the process for creating a poster?
Once you choose a package, we’ll start with a consultation to understand your vision and requirements. After that, we’ll create initial drafts for your review and refine them based on your feedback until we reach the final design.
What kind of information do you need?
I’ll need details about your film, including the title, tagline, key themes, any specific imagery or characters you want featured, and any existing branding materials you have. Each package has a form you’ll sign important information that’ll help myself understand your film or music video
What if I need changes after the final poster is delivered?
Minor adjustments can often be accommodated, but substantial changes may incur additional fees. It’s best to finalize most details during the revision stages included in your package.
Can I upgrade my package after we’ve started?
Yes, you can upgrade your package at any point during the design process. We’ll adjust the scope of work and fees accordingly.
How do I provide feedback during the design process?
I use an easy-to-follow review process. You’ll receive drafts and then provide feedback via email.
Do I have to pick a single package or can I pick individually and make my own package?
You can pick and choose what works best for your film and we can workout a price that best suits you. I like to call this one Choose Your Own Adventure.
I don’t see what I need, but would like to still work with you
If you have an idea, but don’t see it offered. Please feel free to reach out and lets discuss how I can help archive your dream vision. Email me at matthewburm@syndicatevision.ca
Do you work with International clients?
You bet I do! I love working with film makers over seas. That’s the great part about the internet. My time zone is PDT. I might be 10-15hrs behind, but I’m a night owl. So during the week I’m pretty easy to reach. Lets bring your dream into a reality.
