PROJECT TIMELINE

Our project timeline is thoughtfully structured to ensure timely, high-quality content delivery while meeting the unique needs of ROCO’s events. For photography services, including both candid moments and professional portraits, completion is expected within three weeks post-event. Video deliverables follow a similar timeline, with the Marketing Reel finalized within three weeks. Should ROCO choose a more comprehensive package, such as one including behind-the-scenes footage and additional edited segments, an additional two weeks may be required to ensure a polished, impactful product.

 

Financially, we request a 70% upfront payment to secure our services, with the remaining 30% due upon completion of project. This approach guarantees a smooth workflow and allows us to focus entirely on delivering a memorable, engaging, and impactful experience for ROCO.
