Overview

Once your project is matched with a Maker, they will begin work on your pre-production service materials (e.g., scripts, talent, music options.). You’ll have the opportunity to review and provide input before anything goes into production. This guide will walk you through each stage of the pre-production workflow.

Pre-Production Workflow

Here’s how the pre-production process typically unfolds:

1. Maker Begins Working on Services

The Maker will begin working on pre-production services, such as Concepting, Scripting, Talent and Location Sourcing, etc.

2. Services are Uploaded for Review

The Maker will upload services for your review. You will receive an in-app and email notification when your pre-production services are ready for your review.

3. Review & Request Changes

Open the pre-production service and leave your feedback in the Brand Feedback section. To request feedback, select 'Request Changes' and Submit.

4. Maker Revises & Resubmits for Review

The Maker incorporates feedback notes, and shares an updated version for review. You can request more changes, or approve the service. You will have up to three (3) rounds of revisions on pre-production services.

6. Approve Services

Once the materials meet your expectations, mark the service as Approved.

After all services are approved, your project will move into production.

Help ensure a smooth pre-production phase by following these best practices:

✅ Ship your product as early as possible to ensure on-time delivery before shoot day.

✅ Confirm all service materials align with your brand guidelines.

✅ Approve services at least 48 hours before the shoot to avoid delays.

How to Provide Brand Feedback

You can leave feedback on each pre-production service directly within the platform.

To ensure your feedback is helpful and easy to act on:

  • Leave all notes in the Brand Feedback section of the respective service.

  • Be specific and reference any relevant details or brand guidelines.

  • Make sure feedback is consolidated from all stakeholders before submitting.

  • Submit your notes in a timely manner to keep things moving forward.

Service Status

Your service status reflects the status of your included services.

  • No Action Needed: Service does not need review.

  • Not Started: Waiting on your Maker to share their proposal for this service.

  • Ready for Review: Services are ready for your review.

  • Changes sent to Maker: You have provided feedback to the Maker, and they are editing.

  • Completed: You have approved all pre-production services.
