1. Start here

    Share your assets

    Logos, stills, phone grabs, old tour footage, a YouTube link that nails the vibe - whatever you have. You do not need a perfect deck; we have built whole palettes from a single reference.

    Blunts and Blondes NRGY portal  -  Client Inputs and Vision with project overview, client contact, and start of Creative Vision and References
    Blunts & Blondes: the portal's Client Inputs & Vision block - where shared briefs, contacts, and reference grids live before we rate concepts.
  2. Alignment

    Artist consultation

    One deep call with your project manager and creative director: your sound, your venues, references you keep coming back to, and looks you hate so we do not waste a render cycle. We pick reference direction with you on this call - then those picks get uploaded to your portal Assets section for the team to execute against.

    Blunts & Blondes: the same private portal during alignment - where the consultation lands as visible status, timeline, and next actions before references are locked into Assets.
  3. Lock-in

    Concepts, themes & styles locked in the proposal

    The conversation becomes a written proposal: creative direction, deliverable shape, and what “done” looks like for your show. When you sign off, we start building toward the portal - not before.

  4. First portal pass

    Initial concepts on the platform

    Stills and style frames land in your private link. Every concept gets a 0–10 row and an Add Notes field so feedback stays tied to the file - not buried in a DM thread.

    Rate this concept

    Damon Pirko portal  -  Check-in 3 with multiple concept videos each showing a 0 through 10 rating row
    Real project (Damon Pirko): a dated check-in batch - each concept carries its own score row so we know what to push into motion.
  5. Motion

    High-rated concepts move to video; we add more options

    What you scored highest becomes the spine for motion passes. We keep adding adjacent concepts so you always have contrast - not a single take-it-or-leave-it render.

    Same rating surface, now on motion - Mugshot2.1 (Damon Pirko portal).
  6. Iterate

    We loop until you are happy - bounded, not endless

    Check-ins land as dated batches in the portal so you always know what is new. You get up to 3 revisions per creative - enough room to land the vision, tight enough to keep momentum.

    While we iterate, the portal header keeps state honest - artist, sound, scope, and where you are in production (Damon Pirko example).
  7. Showfile

    Final videos optimized for VJ formats + Visual Menu

    We master for what your VJ actually opens - MP4, MOV / Resolume-friendly stacks, 4K for LED when the show calls for it, and time-coded masters when the set needs frame-accurate storyline. With delivery you get a Visual Menu PDF: clip names, order, what each file is for, and guardrails so a new VJ on site is not guessing five minutes before doors.

  8. Handoff

    Final deliverables on the platform - transparency, optimized formats, download

    When a milestone clears, the status band goes green and downloads unlock. Exports include transparency / alpha where stacking layers matters - not only flat playback files.

    Blunts & Blondes: Delivery 1 Completed - proof the portal is the handoff surface, not a mystery link.
  9. Next round

    Afternote: extra concepts saved for your next visuals project

    Concepts you did not pick are not thrown away - they stay in your project history so the next tour or EP cycle starts ahead of zero. You also get a full packaged archive beyond the portal so files are never stranded in a single app.

    Your portal stays yours - private link, same door when you come back for round two.

A private portal built around your feedback

Artists tell us the breakthrough is seeing work early and reacting while the direction is still plastic - ratings and notes on every deliverable, not a three-month black hole.

Rate each visual 0–10

Every delivery gets a row of scores. High marks tell us what to build more of; low marks tell us what to kill before it multiplies.

Notes on every clip

Hit Add Notes under a file and spell it out: more jungle wash, less smoke, match the red from the logo. We read all of it and fold it into the next pass.

Assets area for references

What we pick together on the call lands in your portal Assets section - organized inputs for the team, separate from the rating rows on concepts and motion.

Timelines that work for your shows

As quick as a 5-day turnaround, but generally we prefer 2-4 weeks to perfect your visuals. The longer we have, the more thoughtful we can get.

Downloads that respect your tech

MP4, MOV for Resolume / DXV stacks, time-coded masters when you need frame accuracy. Each asset sits in a labeled grid - not a mystery link in the DMs.

Visual menu for your VJ

Deliveries include a reference guide - what files ship, how to use them, what they look like - so whoever runs your show is not parking your footage on top of a random unicorn loop five minutes before doors.

Built for the stage

Loops

Eight- to twelve-second perfect loops are the bread and butter - stacked layers so you are not at the mercy of whatever the house VJ grabbed from stock that week.

Long-form

Long-form cuts (45s–minutes) for intros, outros, and festival moments where time coding and storyline matter.

Time-coded masters

When the set needs frame-accurate storyline - intros, outros, festival moments - we deliver time-coded cuts your showfile can lock to.
