HOW WE WORK
​You're busy, but want to be in charge? Your budget is tight, but you won't compromise? You know what you want, but articulating it is tricky? We understand these contradictions. We'll respect your time and stretch your dollar as we pursue your vision together.
​
We're not the guys you call in to film something on Monday. We need to get in early, understand your objective, and sometimes we may even have a part in defining it. This is how we deliver you exceptional safety, security, and emergency preparedness training films.
OUR PROCESS
It's not complicated, but it is important. Understanding your objectives is the key to our success. To that end, our relationship and project planning begin long before the first camera is even taken out of its case.
1. CONSULT
Are we a good fit for you? We meet to learn about your needs and tell you about our solutions; if there’s a match we agree on a price and get to work.
DEVELOPMENT
2. COLLABORATE
What’s the plan? We'll discuss, review, and refine every aspect of your project until we have a detailed project covering schedule, script, and much more.
PRE-PRODUCTION
3. CAPTURE
Lights, camera, action. Our team comes on-site to record scripted and/or exercise-based events, interviews, and other footage.
PRODUCTION
4. CREATE
No (bad) surprises. Our editing plus your feedback lead us to a final product that exceeds your expectations and wows your audience.
POST-PRODUCTION
As your project advances, all relevant information is documented and updated in your RAPT Project Plan, a comprehensive online reference that you have direct access to. The latest schedule, contact information, logistical details, scripts, and much more are always within easy reach.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Client needs are too varied to provide list pricing, but projects can be categorized by degree of effort. Our goal is always a premium product, efficiently produced, at a reasonable price.
TEMPLATED
Get a head start. Save time and money by basing your project on one of our proven public safety film frameworks.
​
We record on-site with your team and create a film structured to one of our templates, such as: Active Shooter, Suspicious Activity, Conflict De-Escalation, Transit Evacuation, and more.
READY MADE
[Coming Soon] Add your verbiage and branding to our pre-made public safety films. Our fastest and most affordable option.
​
We're currently building out our library of stock public safety videos and look forward to offering you this affordable and expedient alternative to custom films in the near future.
CUSTOM
Realize your vision. Unique subject matter, specific requirements, or a very precise need call for a fully custom film.
​
Create exactly what you want or need. We develop a script and format together, then film on-site with your team. For extra realism, combine with a full scale exercise or drill.
SPECIAL
Run it by us. Few projects intimidate us; from aerial video to senior leader interviews, we may be able to help.
​
Our capabilities include drone-based filming, teleprompter-based interviewing, advanced lighting, and more. We would be excited to lend our skills and equipment to your unique need.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS
​
Photography. Add this option to get the most out of the footage we'll be capturing for you. We'll scour your raw video for dramatic scenes and key moments and preserve them as photographic stills. A fantastic value add for use in presentations, plans, brochures, and artwork. Explore our portfolio for samples.
​
Planning Support. By default, we will review any plans, policies, and procedures relevant to your project and identify any concerns that may affect it. However, if you need significant assistance developing or reworking such materials, we can either refer you to one of several expert consultant firms we have worked with in the past or we may be able to assist you directly for an extra fee.
