PROCESS
Production work from concept to completion
PRE-PRODUCTION
The process begins by talking with your team about the vision, market, and primary goals. Once we’ve distilled this information into a few key takeaways, we create a concept and script followed by a storyboard. Our team then handles all facets of physical production from booking the right crew to casting top talent, scouting locations, pulling permits, and procuring all equipment needs.
PRODUCTION
At Rebel Monk we know that the scope of work for each project varies, so we are well-equipped for shoots both in-studio and on-location. We work with top creatives in the Bay Area to provide camera, light, sound, art department, wardrobe, and hair and makeup services. We also have the capacity to cover video needs at corporate events with multiple crews filming at the same time.
POST-PRODUCTION
Once the filming stage is wrapped, the editing process begins. We work with editors, motion graphic artists, music composers, sound designers, and colorists, and are well-versed in 2D and 3D animation. We communicate with you regularly during the necessary rounds of revisions, before delivering all finals for you to release across any platform you need.
DOCUMENTARY
Nonprofit and documentary filmmaking is also an integral part of our mission. With video, we tell the stories of underrepresented communities and shed light on social issues that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Most recently, Rebel Monk produced a documentary exploring the challenges faced by homeless pregnant women as they navigate motherhood while living on the streets. Struggling without a home, they desperately desire to raise their children in a safe and healthy environment. We intimately experience their difficulties, either navigating aid services or lost in a fog of mental health issues and drugs. We come to witness the struggle of their lives but also the possibilities for change and a hopeful future.
