Through our collective experience of working on international productions, we understand the importance of laying the groundwork for filming success. 

Every new team member is thoroughly vetted to ensure they have the mastery and experience to help your project soar. The bottom line? You can be 100% confident that your pre-production crew, from accountants to script supervisors, is bringing incredible skills to the table.

Story research

You have an idea. The bones of a story. You see people, place-names and production possibilities. But you need it all fleshed out. We can help. Our pre-production services in Romania include fact-checking story details. We’ll research background information, historical context, and relevant plot points. We’ll help shape your narrative through storyboarding and script analysis. If you’re planning a documentary or news piece, we can source the right people to interview or furnish you with accurate details. This is part of our pre-production services, but research isn’t a one-and-done task—we’ll continue story research during production as necessary, ensuring your video remains compelling and accurately informed.

Location scouting for film

Location sets the mood, tells part of the story and can help make your video truly unforgettable. That’s why it’s such an important part of our pre-production services. Our location managers have extensive experience location scouting for film and videos across the globe. As locals, they bring a vast knowledge of this country and a clear understanding of what your shoot needs.

When you use us for location scouting and management, you’ll get:

  1. Deep local insight into the best locations across Romania
  2. Rigorously researched suggestions based on script, budget, and production needs
  3. A full tech spec detailing logistics and accessibility
  4. Permits and access agreements secured

Film permits

Securing the right film permits in Romania is essential before filming here. However, permit management is one of our most called-upon pre-production services, so we can easily handle all the legal requirements of your video shoot. And, since Romania is an ATA Carnet country, we’ll also manage the quick and easy export of your filming equipment. But our expertise goes beyond securing local film permissions.

As part of the Storytailors global network, we also have in-depth knowledge of film permit laws in over 100 countries, allowing us to support multi-location productions and ensure full compliance with all international legal obligations.

Video production budgeting

An often overlooked but critical service offered is video production budgeting. Yet how can you realise your project if you don’t know the costs needed? You can’t, which is why we’ve long incorporated this into our pre-production services.

We’ll source accurate quotes and breakdown all the below-the-line costs from equipment rental prices to any location hire fees, and the above-the-line costs, including crew hire and talent. We know you won’t want to cut corners on your vision, so we’ll work with you and your team to ensure a cost-effective video production that stays true to your dream.

Cost-effective video production

The best-made productions begin with quality pre-production. We should know. We’re privileged to have handled pre-production requirements on several major film and video projects across Romania.

Brands, media platforms and filmmakers come to us because they know we’ll ensure a cost-effective video production that still manages to bring their story to life. We do this through a comprehensive suite of pre-production services from fact-checking, script research, comprehensive budgeting and location scouting for film in Romania and beyond.

Our rigorously vetted team of film professionals are both well-trained in their specific skills and the international quality standards that, as a member of Storytailors, we’ve committed to bringing to every project. Plus, we go out of our way to be as transparent in everything we do—from handling location tech scouting to presenting your budget in the local and your home currency.
