#HELLO Back in time, film companies tended to prefer freelancers, but now there is a new way, collaboration with small teams or a studio. If you ever wondered which might be better, we are about to tell you.
Here’s the freelance vs design studio comparison:
We give you 4 good reasons to choose a freelancer.
Price – Let’s start with a fundamental criterion: the price. A freelance designer can guarantee a lower and more competitive price than a studio: there are no structural costs, often he works from home, optimizing travel and expenses, and does not have a team (salaried!) around.
Quality – Competitive prices allow you to hire senior designers, able to deliver high quality projects, spending less than the equivalent in a studio. And a freelancer will work anywhere, any time and in any condition to deliver a perfect project on schedule.
Relationship – The person with whom the customer speaks is the same person who carries out the project, without intermediaries. Remember the game “telephone charades”? Here, with a freelancer, there is no risk of misunderstanding the message.
Reliability – If the customer chooses a professional, the professional he trusts will take care of the work from the beginning to the end. An important aspect, especially if the alternative is to see your work done by junior figures.
And what about the studio instead? Below 4 points to support the studio choice.
Security – If the customer sets a deadline, it will hardly be forgotten. Team work makes it possible to optimize time and complete work even in tight deadlines, meetings permitting.
Skills – A multidisciplinary team, with different professional figures, allows to offer diversified skills in-house, without turning to outsourced suppliers.
Problem solving – Teamwork can stimulate creativity and help resolve problems faster, filling any gaps in the individual and guaranteeing quality.
Complexity – Extremely complex projects require integrated expertise and often numerous professionals working together: a study is certainly the best solution, if not the only one.
And then there’s Agenti Cinema. We are not freelance designers, we are not a classic studio. If we can borrow a definition from other sectors we would like to call ourselves as a “collective”, a “hub” of senior designers and freelancer professionals.
We are freelancers but we work in a fluid and “cloud” design studio, dematerialized and free of costs and physical constraints. The idea behind Agenti Cinema is to take the best of the freelance profession, bringing together freelancers with proven experience, and bringing it into contact with the best of design studios, with all the advantages of collaborating multiple minds.
Collaborative working doesn’t just happen, it needs preparation and organisation. We use a “single point of contact” – studio manager. He spends most of his time in communications, distributing tasks and following their deadlines. Depending on the needs of the production we offer flexible options providing both office presence and support from distance. All our work is presented in online password protected cloud space. All departments have 24/7 access to view and download.
Our team knows that collaboration and speed are the essence of the filmmaking industry. It is a simple philosophy we have followed for nearly two decades. Our number one job priority is to assure our clients that nothing will go wrong and the job is done!
