Start with what you're trying to achieve. Hillside can help work out the technical approach, equipment and people required rather than expecting you to arrive with a technical shopping list.
Start with the idea. We'll work out the technical side.
The process scales with the project. A straightforward hire may need a short conversation. A larger production may involve meetings, planning and additional specialists.
