FAQ of the Bubble shoot
Q> How do you want to keep me and my client safe?
All communication is done remotely, but synchronized and thoughtful.
We must care for the safety of our customers and our team.
Q> What are the creative limitations?
We offer production of table-top studio commercials and product-focused ads. All other small scale,studio based content production is possible too. We have also introduced remote production of stop-motion. In the coming weeks, depending on changes in the epidemiological situation in Poland we will introduce more services. We try ASAP.
Q> Can I choose the creators of my commercial?
Yes of course. The team is divided into internal (working directly on the set) and external (working remotely or from outside the studio). The internal crew can completely produce on their own or can be an executive team for external creators connected to us via Internet ( during prep and production.). This includes directors if they are willing to work in such a way
Q> The budgets are now cut, what should I do ?
Let’s keep it simple ! Working with our internal team is quite economical, because the team is not extensive, few traditional functions on the set are performed by the same crew member. Let's produce it this way!
Q> What is your experience?
The internal crew (working directly on the set) are the creators who shot hundreds of ads. The internal team portfolio on the following pages of this presentation.
Q> How do you know, it’s gonna work?
We have done it already. Worked well. Also In the previous years, we have carried out several successful remote productions for foreign customers, which had to be carried out in a remote way due to time or other constraints.
This is not a traditional form of production, but effective.

Q> Is my production safe if someone in your team becomes infected with a coronavirus?
We have taken this into consideration. The rules we follow on set minimize the probability of infecting other crew members. We monitor the health of team members before each shoot and react in case of the slightest symptoms. We always have plan B and C too.
Q> Is it legal?
We apply all the current government recommendations and restrictions. We respect the current position of KPR SAR (Producers Club in Polish Ad Agencies Association) and we comply with its recommendations and more.
Q> When will normal TVC production be able to resume?
We can produce from today on, in a safe way that guarantees the same quality of the final product as the traditional form of production.
