Please
review the samples of our productions in the program
section. When you are comfortable that you are
able to create programming to this level of professionalism,
then please complete the production
application form and submit your credentials to
apply for a production assignment.

A
member of Voyages will contact you to discuss your
background, equipment, production timing, knowledge
of the local region, technical requirements and budgeting
preparation for production. Many of the production
tools can be found for your reference in our Tools
section on this site.
When our Voyages Production Coordinator contacts you,
we will ask you to complete a questionnaire that assists
us in understanding the best level of production you
are suited for, be it shooting local luxury properties
or joining us for the larger Signature Series productions.
Using this information, Voyages will create a shooting
schedule for you and your region. Typically a property
shoot takes 1 - 2 days depending on the size of the
property. Our payment and performance terms are determined
on either a daily rate or a set rate for volume of
properties or programs you shoot. (see
#5 below)

On
arrival at a property you will need to immediately
contact the property’s appointed point person
to do a walk- through of the hotel and facilities,
to establish where and what to shoot, and in which
sequence.
Once the walk-through is done, you set a shooting
schedule and begin work.
In some cases you will need shoot special items (restaurants,
night clubs) that can only be filmed at specific times
during the day to accommodate for the property staff
timetable and workflow. Rooms and facilities must
be well dressed, and access to housekeeping staff
made available should we need to move furniture, etc.,
to frame the shot in the best way. We will be providing
training documentation and DVD for you to follow.
(See Tools section)

Once
the property is shot, you forward the video tape or
Hard Drive rushes and shooting logs onto Voyages where
the footage is edited into a 3 - 7 minute segments
depending on the details of the property. The segment
is placed online in a password-protected area for
the property and you to review. Upon approval from
the property, we will make it available to the public.
The copyright of the production remains solely with
©Voyages North America. However, we will license
the video to the property for non-competing usage
at no cost other than the cost of reproduction and
delivery. A copy of our license is available on request.

Once
the property is shot, and footage FedExed to Voyages,
you can move onto the next property. Generally we
give you two properties to shoot at first. if successful
we allocate the region to you and work out an ongoing
schedule which you can mix and match with your other
workload. Our daily rate is a fixed rate. We do not
cover additional costs other than video stock and
on occasion transportation fees. All courier and accommodation
fees where applicable are taken care of by Voyages
so you will not be asked to be out of pocket at any
stage. Similarly, we will not absorb any additional
overheads such as equipment repairs etc.
Voyages
covers you while shooting for Public Liability insurance.
Equipment insurance is your responsibility.
We
pay 30 days upon receipt of invoice and are amenable
to discussion of terms prior to the shoot.
You
will be credited for your role on the site credit
reference list. As the footage is cut into many forms
and segments credits will not appear on each segment
but a cover credit will be available on the sites
production credit lists.
