As you’re shopping around for Boston video production services for live performance events, consider asking the production crews that are highest on your list, for references.

Be Open about Budget & Scheduling

In fact, it’s important for you to be open and honest about all of the important details of the performance or event. Discuss your budget with the production crews that you’re considering for the project.

You should also be honest about the intended size and structure of the live performance. It will not do you, or the production crew, any justice if individual concerns about the event are left in the dark.
