From Script to Screen: The Power of Full-Service Video Production

If you’ve ever tried to create a professional video for your brand, you probably already know it’s not as simple as pressing record. There are a lot of moving parts – writing, storyboarding, voiceover, animation, editing, and more. That’s where full-service video production comes in. When you work with a studio that can handle everything from concept to final delivery, the process gets smoother, faster, and way more effective.

At Hatch Studios, we’ve been doing this for decades. We’re proud to be a one-stop-shop for all things animation and video production. Whether you need a 15-second social spot or a full-blown animated explainer video, we guide you through every step of the journey – from script to screen.

Let’s break it down. Most video production projects involve:

  • Concept development
  • Scripting
  • Storyboarding
  • Visual asset creation
  • Voice casting and recording
  • Animation or live-action filming
  • Music, sound design, and editing

That’s a lot of plates to spin if you’re working with different vendors for each phase. With full-service video production, you get one cohesive team that handles the entire video production process. That means better communication, a more consistent creative vision, and fewer chances for things to fall through the cracks.

Creating a video is a bit like building a house. You can have different people perform different tasks but if one messes up, they’ll say it was due to the other’s faulty work. On the other hand, using a single contractor means they’re responsible for everything and they’ll take full responsibility if something goes wrong.

Hatch Studios is a single contractor. We have an in-house expert responsible for every stage of the journey, so you always know who you’re talking to and what to expect.

Going back to our house metaphor: you need a strong foundation, a solid structure, and then all the finishing touches. That’s why we follow a clear and flexible script to screen process at Hatch Studios.

Step 1: Discovery & Scripting

First, we get to know your brand, your goals, and your audience. Then we craft a script that tells your story in a way that resonates. Our directors are not just creative – they understand branding, tone, and clarity. This script becomes the blueprint for everything else.

Step 2: Storyboarding & Design

Once the script is approved, we map out the visuals. Storyboards help everyone understand the pacing, transitions, and tone. Then our artists bring it to life with custom design work tailored to your brand.

Step 3: Voice, Sound & Animation

We handle the casting and voiceover recording process, so we can find the perfect voice for your message. Then our animators take over, bringing the story to life with movement, personality, and visual flair. Sound design and music are added to polish the final product.

Step 4: Review & Refine

We don’t just send you a finished video and hope for the best. We build in revision rounds, gather feedback, and refine the details. That way, your video ends up exactly how you envisioned it or better.

This is the heart of full-service filmmaking: no handoffs, no guesswork, just one team working with you from start to finish. If you want to learn more about our process, check out our detailed animation process page.

So what makes Full-Service Video Production such a smart choice?

1. Consistency

Because the same team handles everything, your brand message stays consistent across visuals, voice, and tone.

2. Efficiency

You don’t waste time explaining your brand to multiple vendors or trying to line up separate schedules. Everything moves faster when it’s under one roof.

3. Quality Control

We oversee every detail. From the first draft of the script to the final frame of animation, our team ensures the quality stays top-notch.

4. Cost Effectiveness

Bundling all the services together often ends up being more cost-effective than outsourcing different parts to different companies.

We’re not just a video production company; we’re creative partners. Our clients come to us because they want more than just pretty visuals. They want videos that communicate, convert, and connect. They want top-quality animation so that it stands out against the competition. And they want unique, trend-setting visuals created with cutting-edge modern technology.

We’ve created hundreds of projects, many award-winning, in collaboration with top advertising agencies such as Y&R, DDB, FCB, BBDO, Cossette, Ogilvy & Mather, JWT, Leo Burnett, MacLaren McCann, McCann Erickson, Saatchi, TBWA, Sid Lee, Taxi, and many more.

Whether you’re launching a product, explaining a process, or telling your brand story, we take a hands-on, collaborative approach. We offer both film production services and animation, which makes us super flexible for different kinds of projects.
