"The entire experience was uplifting and educational. The project started out to develop a tool that we could use to share the Woodlands with new potential users and donors. The process we undertook helped us to better understand how to communicate the Woodlands experience as a whole to those we seek to serve and partner with.
For me it was the first experience with this type of project and your expertise, patience and professional guidance created a very comfortable, smooth and painless process.(...)
I am most confident that the value we received far exceeds the fee that we paid."

Claude assists clients with needs assessment, goal refinement, project scope, deliverables, target timeline and corresponding budget estimates, which helps them evaluate their options and make the best business and communication choice for their needs.
This information is assembled in the Project Brief which becomes the blue print for the later stages of the project.
Project Development, Story Development & Project Execution
Claude works with corporate and non-profit clients, as well as individual filmmakers, to develop and produce their projects at all stages, including Project Development, Story Development, and Pre-production, Production, & Post-production.
Based on the Project Brief, and a continued process that combines research, strategic information analysis and synthesis, Claude works with clients to identify the key content elements to be communicated, and then develops a concept, story, plot structure and aesthetic approach that are best suited for the project. This process leads to a written treatment and script &/or storyboard.
A summary of these creative decisions is recorded for all parties to reference in the Project Brief.
Finally, Claude oversees the project's logistical, technical and creative execution, from pre-production, to production, and on through post-production.
She schedules the production, hires crew and books talent, reserves locations, coordinates the shoot, conducts interviews, directs talent, researches and obtains archival audio and visual material, commissions original music, and personally supervises post-production.
Production logistics complete the final Project Brief document.
Claude makes a point of maintaining regular and ongoing communication with her clients throughout all phases of a project, ensuring sign-off on business, creative and logistical choices every step of the way.
