Production & Visual Craft · 90 Minutes With David

Private 1-on-1 Production, Camera & Post Session

90 Minutes · Virtual · One-on-One With David

Strategy tells you what to make. Production decides whether anyone believes it. This session is about the craft side: how the thing is shot, lit, recorded, cut, graded, and finished so it looks like it came from a real studio instead of a phone on a stack of books.

David is Creative Director of Production at Kaleidoscope Scent Index. He has shot and cut the work behind more than 45 million views across platforms, on a real budget, on real deadlines, from a room you could fit in your garage.

What We'll Work On

Your Setup, Audited Live

Camera, lens, lights, mics, room. We go through what you own, what is actually holding your footage back, and what would fix it for the least amount of money.

Lighting

Key, fill, separation, practicals, and how to build a look that reads on a phone screen. This is the single biggest jump most people can make.

Camera & Framing

Settings, frame rates, shutter, focus, lens choice, composition, and the movement that adds something instead of the movement that just looks busy.

Sound

Mic choice and placement, room treatment, levels, and cleanup. Bad audio kills a good video faster than bad picture does.

Editing & Pacing

Assembly, cut rhythm, hooks, b-roll coverage, text and motion, sound design, and where a piece loses people.

Color

Building a consistent look, matching shots, correction before grade, and keeping skin tones honest.

Workflow

File structure, proxies, backups, project templates, presets, and how to keep a shoot day from turning into a week of post.

Your Next Moves

You leave with a shot plan, a gear list if you need one, and specific changes to make on your next shoot.

Who This Is For

• Creators whose ideas are good but whose footage does not match them.
• Brands producing in house who want the output to look consistent and intentional.
• Editors and shooters who want a second set of eyes on their setup, their cut, or their grade.

What You'll Leave With

• A clear read on what your footage is missing
• A lighting and camera plan for your space
• Edit and color notes on your existing work
• A gear list scoped to your budget, if you need one
• A written recap of recommendations and action items

Good ideas deserve to look like it.
