STAGE 02 / 03  —  ON THE FLOOR

Production & shoot days in Bangkok

Production is the shoot itself. Heyfolk Film puts a full floor crew on set in Bangkok — director, DOP, two cameras, a complete lighting package, sound, art department and a client monitor so you see every take as it happens. Rushes are backed up to two separate drives before anyone leaves the location.

Who is on the floor?

Four departments, one call sheet. Crew size scales with the film — a tabletop product day is smaller than a storyboarded TVC with talent, and the quote says which.

Shoot-day questions

Can you shoot outside Bangkok?

Yes. We are based in Bangkok and shoot across Thailand — and overseas. Travel and accommodation outside Bangkok are quoted as separate line items.

Can we attend the shoot?

Yes, and we recommend it. A client monitor with live playback sits beside the camera so you can approve each setup on the floor rather than in the first cut.

What happens to the footage after wrap?

Rushes are backed up to two separate drives before the crew leaves the location, then handed to the edit. Post-production starts from that backup, never from a single card.
