Our Television Work

To film and produce a TV Series, a variety of moving parts and actions are needed. Developing and producing a TV show requires different stages and processes in order to take it from a mere pitch, to viewing it from the comfort of your home on television.

Here are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind:

Pre-Production:

Pre-production includes a variety of aspects including pitching, feedback, writing and scripting, location services and more. Here are a few different aspects of pre-production:

Pitching
Pitching your planned show to a prospective producer can be daunting. If you haven’t done the necessary legwork, the chances of your prospective TV show ending up on air is minimal. A pitch would consist of your premise, structuring of episodes as well as anything you could use to ensure that networks won’t steal your idea. You should also do a short promotional reel. Here’s where we come in. We’re here to help you with pre-production from beginning to end – including the creation of the necessary promotional reel as part of your TV series pitch.
Writing and Scripting
Feedback received from the network stations, will need to be taken into account. At The Michael Group, we have skilled researchers and writers on staff to help you shape the message of the story that you’re trying to tell.
Crew and Talent Booking
No TV series or special could be brought to life without the help of talented crew and cast members. We only work with seasoned professionals within the US and around the world. Our crew and talent booking team will help you find the perfect fit for your show.

Production:

The production stage is the actual filming of your television series or special. It contains a variety of important elements to ensure that your show is shot correctly including props, filming, camera crews, and sound production.

Camera Crew and Filming
Finding the right camera crew can be difficult. At The Michael Group, we’ve got every shot covered. We’ll ensure that your video production goes as flawlessly as possible to create only the best series or special.
Sound Production
Awful sound quality is guaranteed to turn your video production and series into a gigantic miss. Having the right sound team ensures that your series meets the highest standard of sound recording.

Post Production:

This is where the magic happens. In post-production, everything comes together in order to create your perfect TV show. Here is where everything shot during the production phase is edited and color corrected to ensure that the viewers at home only see a seamless and incredible TV show.
