Our Process
Want to work with us? Easy, no pressure. We don’t have a sales pitch. We listen first.
01. Book a discovery call
It starts with a conversation. Tell us what you’re trying to say and who you need to reach, and we’ll listen. No sales pitch, no pressure, just an honest talk about your goals, your timeline, and whether we’re the right team to bring your story to life.
02. Scope, shape and quote
Once we understand the goal, we shape it into a plan. We map out the format, the deliverables, and the creative approach that fits your budget, then lay it all out in a clear, transparent quote. No surprises and no padded line items, so you know exactly what you’re getting before we roll a single frame.
03. Research and discovery
Great work starts long before the camera turns on. We dig into your organization, your audience, and your industry to find the angle that will actually land. The more we understand what makes you different, the sharper and more authentic the final piece becomes.
04. Storyboard, script writing
This is where the story takes shape. We write the script, build the storyboard, and lock the creative direction so everyone can picture the finished piece before production begins. You’re part of it at every step, with room to refine until it feels right.
05. Shoot (or animate), edit, refine.
Now we make it. Whether it’s a live shoot, hand-crafted animation, or a podcast recorded in studio, our team captures every detail with care. Then we edit, colour, score, and refine until the final cut does exactly what it set out to do.
High Praise. Just saying.
Our clients have great things to say, and we’re proud of the glowing compliments we’ve received over the years.
“Working with Double Barrel Studios couldn’t be more fun, creative and professional. The components were like the best presents under the Christmas tree. And after shooting, I couldn’t wait to open them at the crack of dawn.”

Catherine Farquharson
Documentographer
“From our very first conversation, it was clear that Roz and Lee ‘got it’. They understood what we wanted and, more importantly, what we didn’t want. Overcoming significant logistical challenges and a tight timeline, the Double-Barrel team got the job done on time and to rave reviews from our stakeholders.”

Colin Carmichael
Degroote School of Business
“We are so pleased with the new video! We showed it at our W Booth BBQ to a crowd of nearly 50 people and there were cheers and applause. Very positive reaction. I can’t stop watching it!”
