Case Study: Firebrand

“We worked with Image Approvals on a feature film shot in spring 2022. Their team have been wonderful to work with throughout the entire process – they have been totally available to help with any queries or problems we’ve had, and has been on-hand to help with any technical troubleshooting. The platform itself is easy to navigate and has provided everything we’ve needed, including ease of access/use for high profile talent and their teams. After our good experience with Image Approvals in 2022 we are working with them again on another feature film, and would strongly recommend Image Approvals as a reasonably priced, great service for image clearance.”

Key project wins:

• The curation and organisation of a substantial project consisting of over 11,000 images, shot across 29 days, with approvals managed for 3 A-List cast members.
• Hand-curated all images down to a working set of just under 5,000 exceptional images, ensuring the client had a wide set of options for coverage whilst not overwhelming the producers, publicist, cast and their reps.
• A total of almost 2,500 images were approved for use by the cast.
• All images were organised and returned to the client in the same working day of the cast completing their approvals.

Their pain:

• The client lacked the time, expertise or computing power to efficiently manage such a high volume of files.
• They needed a platform that would accommodate a longer timeline for cast approvals, which could host their images and track cast progress.

Our solution

• We utilised both manual and computer-based processes to document and track all files to ensure all 11,000+ stills were logged and accounted for from camera to delivery.
• Our team combined decades of photographic experience within the film industry to identify a working set of images to go through approvals that would ensure the production had all the coverage they needed.
• We provided ongoing support to the production as well as 24/7 access to our Help portal to ensure all cast and stakeholders could complete their approvals with ease.
• We hosted the images on the platform for an extended duration to ensure cast had ample time to review images and the production team could follow their progress.
