Documentaries, which tell non-fiction stories, can be less expensive than scripted productions. However, they are typically very labor-intensive, often requiring years of commitment. Documentary filmmakers characteristically choose a topic about which they are passionate and/or believe that there is a compelling need for a new perspective.

We at Tonal Vision have long been fans of documentary filmmakers, love supporting their efforts, and have occasionally created our own. Some of the services we offer are:

• Consulting, crafting the story, and assisting with preproduction
• Filming interviews, b-roll and important events
• Post-production including:
  • Color correction and color grading
  • Titles, lower thirds, motion graphics and effects, and animations
  • Audio mixing, sound design, narration and music
  • Set-up, captioning and compression for broadcast and social media distribution
