How we work?

If you are thinking of using Another Direction ltd, all you have to do is get in contact and we can arrange an informal meeting. In this meeting we will discuss creative ideas about how to get your message across and run through the procedure that we use to insure that you get the product that you want. If you decide to hire use we will then have extensive consultation with yourselves and the targeted group (if appropriate) as well as researching thoroughly the subject matter. For more information about this procedure visit the case study section of this website.

Things to think about when budgeting:

• You may require translations, Will they be written (in the form of subtitles), in the form of a voiceovers (in DVDs) or both?
• Would you like the service users to have small (production assistants) roles within the project, to enhance them feeling ownership over it? This is something that we can provide.
• If you require optional (something that you could switch on and off) signing (sign language) of the DVD this will also affect the cost.
• The amount of copies and different formats that you require could be finalised on delivery of the product, but you may need to budget for the cost of this, at this stage. Many companies use this as a hidden cost, which (depending on the amount) could be expensive. If you give us an indication of the volume that you require then we can give you unit costs now. We do provide a complementary amount of copies.

Timescale

Time scales are totally dependant on the type of project that we are quoting for. We have had projects that spanned a couple of weeks and other projects that we were working on for 6 months (including outreach work – consultation with the community etc).
