Everything begins with a message. Perhaps you already have a finished script in a drawer, or just a rough sketch in your head. The moment you contact ORISONO, there isn’t immediately a large briefcase full of contracts on the table. Instead, it’s first and foremost about listening. In a non-binding conversation, we clarify what you envision: Is it a feature film, a documentary, or perhaps an advertising campaign? What vision are you pursuing, and where are you currently in the process?
In this phase, we gather the initial key data. We want to understand what your project needs before we discuss prices or contracts. The goal is to get a sense of feasibility and to find out how we can best support you. Whether you just need a few local tips or desire the full-service package – here we lay the foundation for a trustworthy collaboration. It’s like a first coffee meeting: You get to know each other and see if the chemistry is right.
As soon as we know the score, we hit the ground running. ORISONO's Production Services mean one thing above all: We ensure you have solid ground beneath your feet. In this phase, we scrutinize your project. We assess script requirements for their feasibility in Switzerland. Where should filming take place? In the mountains, in a city, or perhaps by a hidden lake?
Our team sets out to scout initial locations or evaluate existing proposals. Simultaneously, we examine logistics. Which crew is needed? Are there special equipment requirements? We consult our network of local specialists to determine if all resources are available. The goal here is not to find problems, but to find solutions before they arise. We provide an initial assessment of costs and timelines so you know exactly where you stand. Transparency is paramount here – no hidden costs, no unpleasant surprises later.
After careful analysis, we will present you with an offer that fits your project perfectly. At ORISONO, we don't believe in off-the-shelf flat rates, because every production is as unique as its story. The offer meticulously lists the services we can provide. This ranges from supplying the entire crew and sourcing camera equipment to applying for filming permits.
You will receive a clear breakdown of the costs for each item. We will explain where we can save money without compromising quality and where it is worthwhile to invest a little more. Perhaps you only need support with location scouting and permits, while you provide the crew yourself? Or should we take over the complete production management? The offer is flexible and will be adjusted until it suits your needs. Our goal is for you to feel: Yes, this is feasible and this is fair. No small print that causes trouble later, but a clear roadmap for your budget.
Once you have accepted the offer, the intense phase begins. The actual work of Production Services is only just starting. We become your local base in Switzerland. Our team handles all administrative hurdles. We apply for the necessary filming permits from authorities, clarify insurance matters, and coordinate contracts with local crew members and service providers.
In parallel, we finalize locations. We organize site visits for you and your team so you can assess them in person. If there are special requirements – be it a historical building, a closed road, or a special permit for drone footage – we will handle it. We also ensure that accommodation and transport for your crew and cast run smoothly. During this phase, we are your central point of contact for everything concerning Switzerland. You can fully concentrate on the creative work while we pull the strings in the background, ensuring everything is ready for the day of shooting.
The big moment has come: Filming begins. Now it's clear whether the preparation was good. At ORISONO, we are there for you even during filming. Our production team is on site to ensure that daily life around the set runs smoothly. We coordinate equipment deliveries, are immediately available for unforeseen problems, and manage on-set logistics.
Whether it suddenly rains and we need an alternative location, or a technical problem needs to be solved – we find a solution. We are the link between your international crew and local conditions. We know the people, we know the rules, and we know how to get things done efficiently in Switzerland. Our goal is for you to be able to fully concentrate on the staging without having to worry about organizational details. If the day goes well, we have done our job well. And if something goes wrong, we're there before you even notice it.
Even when the final clapper has fallen and the last piece of equipment has been packed away, the work is not yet entirely done. In the post-production phase, we ensure a clean wrap-up. We settle open accounts, ensure all permits are properly closed, and that all local partners are satisfied. We provide you with a final statement and document the process for future reference.
But it's not just about paperwork. We reflect with you: What went well? Where were the hurdles? This feedback helps us continuously improve our services. In the end, you not only receive finished raw material for editing but also the knowledge that a production in Switzerland is manageable. With ORISONO, you have a partner who understands and supports you throughout the process – from the initial idea to the final touch. And who knows, perhaps we'll be planning the next project together again soon.
