Video production session varies depending on the scale of the project and requirements completion. Everyone is different. All depends on the package or service chosen. Please come prepared with everything that you need and a great attitude whether it's for a photoshoot or video shoot.

There are numerous ways to receive the files (some vary depending on the files size): You will receive the photos via Google Drive, Dropbox, Airdrop if you own any Apple devices, or you can bring your own personal storage drive. Please refrain yourself from sending numerous messages asking about the final photos or video project file.

Where will my session take place and how far can we travel? 

Depending on the package you choose, most photo or filming session are street-styled and will take place onset or in-studio. It also vary on the city/town and state that you reside in. Most locations will be unique and if you have any specific types of desired locations that you wish to shoot at, let me know and we can make it happen! If you wish for me to travel areas outside of Houston, TX or Greenville, SC, do not hesitate to let us know and we will be happy to work out something with you!

Do I have to come by myself to the photo/filming session?

No. Your safety is the number one priority as well as our team members. You do not have to come to the session by yourself if you do not feel comfortable enough to do so. You can bring whomever you wish to be accompanied by. Please limit the party to three people including you.

What do I wear and what can I bring?

Do not stress too much on what to wear and what to bring to the session. It all depends on the package you’ve chosen. When you contact the Vision Wonderland media production team and you pick a package that suits best for you, we will talk about what outfits and props for you to bring to the session. During most of our session together, part of the goal is FOR YOU TO BE YOURSELF AND HAVE FUN WHILE CREATING!!

*Note: Green / Blue outfits are not permitted during Green / Blue screen work*

What if I have never modeled or done a shoot before in my life and I'm nervous about not knowing what to do on the day of the session?

It’s totally normal to be and feel nervous! Be proud of yourself for having the guts to step out of your comfort zone as it’s never easy to do. It means you’re excited and alive! This is supposed to be an enjoyable session where we get to know each other & create timeless art! It's perfectly fine if you have never modeled before. I will help guide you on how to pose throughout the entire session if you’d like for me to. What you could do during your free time is google or youtube on how to pose for photoshoots & learn the poses/styles QUICK and EASY. Same goes for music videos! Just be yourself, breathe, have self-confidence, and more importantly, have fun! No such thing as perfection. You only get better through time, practice, discipline, and patience.

What if we need to reschedule for whatever reason?

Things do happen whether it's personal, family-related, business, the weather, etc! If you need to reschedule the session, PLEASE LET US KNOW A DAY OR TWO IN ADVANCE!! Doing so will help us with our prioritizing of our schedule on the day of our session. We do a 30 minute grace period. Additional fees apply afterwards. We can then figure out what better date works out for us. Canceling on the day of our session will not allow you to get your refund back.

 Will models, props, locations, etc be provided?

That all depends on your budget and the package chosen. For questions and concerns about available resources at hand, simply ask and we can make arrangements to provide you however many you need. Please note that models will be an additional charge to your pricing package selection.

It all really depends on the artist, the scale of the vision, ideas, things, and people needed to make our ideas happen.

Here is a Youtube link where you can learn most of the ASL basics: Learn How To Sign
