Our Process

  • Initial basic consultation with Tonal Vision’s producer, Jacquie Greff
  • Emailed booking confirmation with agreed details
  • Prior to your date we’ll email you and your videographer details, including contact phone #s and the “estimated completion date”.
  • Before we begin editing, we’ll need:
    • An electronic copy of the program that we can use to copy and past credits and graphics
    • Digital copies of the music, usually from a board feed from the sound booth
  • When we have a draft edit, we’ll send a link to a Vimeo review page so you can request changes, along with an invoice which can be paid online. Payment is required before making your changes and providing finished videos and any copies.
  • Finished videos will be available online for at least 3 months, unless otherwise agreed.

If you need assistance or have questions, please email or call us (410-675-0591).
