The answer is a resounding “yes”! Pre-production helps shape the final vision of what you want your project to look like. From storyboarding, scriptwriting, location scouting, and more, pre-production irons out all the details of each phase of the production process.

Benefits of Pre-Production

Saves Time and Money
By planning ahead, you can save your team lots of time during the production day process. People work more efficiently when their roles are more clearly defined, especially on larger-scale productions. You can reach your finished product faster by taking the time to develop pre-production.
