Thank you.
Thank you so much for asking us to assist with the launch of Coherence Health. We're looking forward to collaborating with you in the creation of enriching content that drives behavior change.
Objective
Create a content strategy and production plan that generates inspiring marketing material and powerful lessons which drive the adoption and completion of the Coherence program.
Deliverables | Delivery
· Graphics Template | 10/22/21
· Lesson Content Template | 10/22/21
· 4x Lesson Teasers | 12/8/21
· 4x Lessons | 12/22/21
· Source material on a hard drive
Assumptions
As we've been exploring options we started with some fixed assumptions based on your desires and budget constraints:
· Talent will be secured by Coherence team
· We will create a look and feel that is unified across all modules
Working Lesson Elements
· Teaser
· 3m Kickoff
· 10m · Backstory
· 3x 5-10m · Case Studies
· 6x Actions or Challenges (Graphics)
· 2-3m · Recap
Creative Approach
We're approaching this project with the desire to create a look that feels timeless, universal, and approachable. We'll bring an elevated documentary aesthetic that mixes from sit-down interviews in clean and non-descript environments, broll, archival footage, and modern graphics. Tonally, we want to balance enthusiasm and practicality, but avoid being preachy or overly didactic. We want to make it feel like it's a gift that you get to spend time with the instructor, easy to capture their knowledge, and hard to escape their passion.
Below, I've pulled a few examples for reference. Crash Course is one of YouTube's oldest and most successful education channels. Their content brings great levity and decent production quality but is overall pretty childish.
Donut Media is a popular channel for young gear heads and may be something the student/faculty at UTI actually watches. Again the content is childish in delivery and less than great in execution.
Ant Anstead Master Mechanic is probably the closest analog in terms of look, mix of footage, and tone to what we think we are doing.
And, of course, Masterclass. We feel the high-end look and focus on the application of the knowledge for the viewer really sells how special it is to be learning from these individuals...and that the money one spent for a class is a bargain for what they are getting—those attributes should guide us.

Estimate Overview.
This is not a fixed bid but rather a starting point that can be aligned to your budget needs.
For now, we've estimated ample time for scripting and revisions, 2 days of interviews, 1 day of broll, creation of lesson and graphic template, and full post-production—including color and sound mix. In terms of camera, we have estimated for using the Sony Fs5MkII for interviews or similar with film lenses. With this approach, we feel confident we can deliver a high-quality set of videos that will stand up for many years to come.
Below you can find our estimate summary and a detailed estimate is here.
You'll notice two columns on the left, "Full Rate" and "Discounted." The discounted column shows a 50% reduction of our production fee and discounts on all labor, except for the production crew.
Terms.
We will share a more in-depth production agreement at time of deposit. General terms include: a 50% deposit to begin work, 25% at the close of production, and the balance at completion; client can cancel production at any time though is liable for any costs incurred up to point of the cancelation; any possible overages will be shared with client before incurring cost and must be approved in writing.
Thank you, again.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We'll look forward to more!
