Beyond the Store

The series the way we'd love to make it costs more than the allocated range. Everything shown is all-in: crew, gear, editing and insurance.

How to use it

Move the dials until the series and the price both feel right. Tell me the version you land on and I'll turn it into a firm quote with dates and deliverables. Everything here is a planning estimate, not a quote.

Start from

Each one follows one person.

The running time of each finished episode. One shoot day gives enough material for two minutes, or three with the full crew's two cameras. Longer episodes need two days.

Shoot days per episode

Two days lets Nova spend real time with someone: at work, then at home or over a meal. One day keeps it to the workplace.

Crew size

The full crew is what we recommend: two cameras, a camera assistant, dedicated sound and a full lighting team. The lean crew is one camera with sound and lighting. The small crew is a director, a director of photography and a gaffer. It moves slower, so it needs two shoot days per episode.

Reels and shorts cut from each episode's footage. One shoot day gives enough material for up to six. Release them whenever you like.

Changes with the dials
Fixed, whatever you choose
Not included

Nova's host fee (paid by Goodwill directly), paid media spend, and travel outside the Front Range.
