Manage your production days
What production days are, how your monthly plan works, how to request a shoot day from the portal, and how to get the most value out of every hour on site.
Production days are your raw material
A production day is a scheduled visit where Skytona captures footage, interviews, photography, and context at your business. Everything your plan delivers afterward is cut from that material.
One good production day feeds weeks of output. The same visit that captures a staff interview can also produce social clips, a website hero video, waiting room screen content, and recruiting media. That is the whole idea: capture once, publish everywhere.
Social content
Short-form clips and posts cut from the day and queued for your approval.
Website media
Hero video, team photography, and page imagery that keeps your site alive.
Signage screens
Fresh content for the displays in your lobby, waiting rooms, and staff areas.
Campaigns and recruiting
Story films, testimonials, and hiring media built from real people, not stock.
How your monthly rhythm works
Retainer plans include a set number of production days each month. The rhythm is simple: we plan the day around a goal, we film, we edit, you review, and the work goes live. Then the next cycle starts.
Days that are used are tracked against your plan, so both sides always know where the month stands. If a month is unusually busy or unusually quiet, talk to us early and we will shape the schedule around it.
Plan the day
A goal, a shot direction, and who needs to be on camera.
We film on site
The crew captures interviews, b-roll, and photography.
Edit and prepare
Skytona cuts the material into ready-to-publish work.
You review and approve
Everything waits for your sign-off before it goes live.
Request a production day
Shoot days are requested directly from your portal, so nothing depends on catching the right person by text. The calendar already reflects real Skytona availability, and your request lands with everything the team needs to confirm it.

Make every day count
The difference between a good production day and a great one is almost always preparation on both sides. A few habits multiply what you get back.
Bring goals, not shot lists
Tell us what the content needs to accomplish (hiring, trust, awareness) and let the crew solve how to film it.
Batch your subjects
If three people need to be on camera, schedule them into the same day. Interviews back to back beat three separate visits.
Real people beat perfect settings
Your staff and your customers carry more weight on camera than any polished backdrop. Give us access to them.
Flag time-sensitive moments early
Events, celebrations, and milestones cannot be re-shot. Request the day as soon as the date exists.
Strategy calls sharpen production days
If the goal for the next day feels fuzzy, book a strategy call first. Fifteen minutes of alignment routinely saves hours on site.
Common questions
The questions business clients ask most about production days.
What counts as a production day?
A scheduled on-site visit where the Skytona crew captures media for your plan. Planning meetings and strategy calls do not count against your production days.
What if we need more days than our plan includes?
Extra days can usually be added. Contact Skytona through your portal and we will confirm scheduling and pricing before anything is booked.
How far ahead should we request a day?
A week or two of notice gives you the best choice of dates and lets us prepare properly. Urgent requests are still worth sending: if we can make it work, we will.
What should we have ready when the crew arrives?
The people who are being filmed, access to the spaces we agreed on, and any products or materials that need to appear on camera. We handle everything else.
Still have questions?
