Our process

 

Good2’s signature work is documentary for non-profit organizations. For this process, we typically meet in person for a Q&A to hear about your objectives and goals and help you formulate what we can do for you and how we can best serve you in regards to filming, editing and showcasing then submit several options for you to choose from based on your needs.

 

For short-term projects (The Courage Package) such as 1-2 day conferences or special events including live-streaming and private screenings for your donor base, board of directors or other special group of individuals, we bring over a decade of experience in filming and editing.  If this is your request, we discuss your objectives and typically will send you an estimate the same or next day.

 

For more detailed projects, (The Perseverance Package and the Good 2 Package), we have a 20-minute free consultation based on the information you provide in the form you submit through this website then with a retainer, an in-person Q&A meeting with you or with you and your board of directors, staff, or other interested parties.

– How we roll –

 

Good2’ has a wide variety of equipment that we continually add to giving us the ability to shoot, edit and showcase wherever our services are needed. Our equipment stock gives us the ability to pick and choose the right piece for the job (partial list below).

 

However, equipment is nothing without an exceptional crew.

 

Good2’ provides the most up-to-date equipment for your project, and more importantly, that equipment is placed in the hands of the most reliable, capable, and experienced film and editing crew within the Boston area. Each and every individual with Good2 is highly skilled in terms of camerawork, editing, sound, lights, voice-over, graphic design as well as all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production. Each crew member is professional and able to work well independently, however, they truly thrive and shine in the collaborative atmosphere of creating a film project for you.

 

At Good2’, we know media, we know movies, we know producing and showcasing and we love every minute of delivering what we know to you. For our team, nothing but delivering the best possible film or showcased event will do. It’s who we are, it’s what we do, it’s how we roll.
