Process + Timeline

Rolling delivery keeps the website moving.

With no firm launch date currently set, Harp Visual Media will prioritize the most immediately useful website assets and release completed work in phases rather than holding the full project for one final handoff.

Plan

Finalize scripts, interview direction, product list, people, locations, access, permitting needs, and the four-day production schedule with Marketing Refresh.

Produce

Complete three full production days and one half-day product session across headquarters, office, downtown, neighborhood, and construction-site locations.

First delivery

The photo libraries, prepared B-roll, interview archive, and both website-header formats are prioritized for rolling delivery, generally beginning approximately 3–4 weeks after the final production day.

Video suite

The company history, culture, and customer-service videos follow in stages, with the full suite targeted approximately 6–8 weeks after the final production day, subject to timely consolidated feedback and approvals.

Feedback stays consolidated.

Marketing Refresh will collect Gainsborough Waste’s notes and provide Harp Visual Media with one consolidated set of feedback for each revision round. Two consolidated revision rounds are included for each finished video and the website header edit.

Project Coordination

Clear handoffs keep a larger production manageable.

Harp Visual Media and Marketing Refresh will work as one team, with responsibilities divided so production needs reach Gainsborough Waste clearly and feedback reaches the edit team in a usable form.

Harp Visual Media

Harp Visual Media will provide Marketing Refresh with a clear list of the people, products, locations, access, scheduling, and other client-side needs required for production. Harp Visual Media will research and manage routine production permits or permissions that remain necessary and will communicate when additional client or agency support is needed. Downtown footage is planned as a mobile drive-by approach and does not include traffic lane closures, stationary truck staging in active roadways, traffic-control personnel, or police escort.

Marketing Refresh

Marketing Refresh will coordinate directly with Gainsborough Waste to make sure requested people, products, vehicles, facilities, customer locations, permissions, and access are confirmed and camera-ready. Marketing Refresh will also collect client feedback and provide one consolidated response per review round.

Any routine permit fees, location fees, or additional time required for third-party approvals are not included in the current estimate and will be added to the final invoice. Any change that would require traffic control, a road or lane closure, police escort, or other major municipal coordination would be treated as a separate scope and require written approval before proceeding.

Estimate Terms

The practical details.

These terms preserve flexibility where the shoot needs it while keeping the project schedule, responsibilities, review process, and estimated budget clear.

Estimate validity

This estimate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.

Final billing

Final billing will reflect actual approved expenses, final editing time, permitting costs, location fees, replacement media, and any approved changes to the scope.

Additional editing

Editing beyond the estimated scope is billed at $100 per hour. Written approval will be requested before proceeding if projected editing overages exceed $500.

Revisions

Two consolidated revision rounds are included for each finished video and the website header edit. Photography, graded B-roll, and interview footage include technical corrections where needed, but not open-ended creative revisions.

Approximate quantities

Photo and video clip counts are planning targets rather than exact guarantees. Final distribution may shift based on access, product readiness, safety, weather, and the strongest useful media captured.

Product substitutions

The working list includes approximately 17 individual products. Comparable substitutions may be made before production without changing the estimate, provided the overall count, setup demands, and production time remain substantially the same.

Cancellation

Cancellation within 72 hours is billed at 25% of project fees; within 48 hours at 50%; and within 24 hours at 100%, plus any expenses already incurred.

Usage + rights

Use of the final approved deliverables for GW Services, Gainsborough Waste-owned brands, websites, and marketing channels is included. All rights not specifically granted in writing, including copyright and project source files, remain the property of Harp Visual Media LLC.

One production built to serve the website now, and the brand family long after launch.

Harp Visual Media will work closely with Marketing Refresh to turn four focused shoot days into an organized, flexible library of finished videos, photography, and reusable media.
