Hours saved per project

Back per project

Based on 6.5 saved hours at an average €75/hour producer rate, calculated from our own productions at Dutchman Media — time you can spend on billable work instead. We’ll validate these numbers with beta users as the platform grows.

Every production starts in one place and stays there.

The team

Built by producers and directors

Built by producers and directors

Preproduction.studio started inside Dutchman Media. Over the years we’ve produced hundreds of commercial films for clients including the Dutch Football Association (KNVB), KLM, Premier Padel and many others.

Those productions shaped the workflow behind this platform. Every project taught us something: where feedback gets delayed, how planning changes, which information is easy to lose, where producers spend time that could be spent elsewhere.

We’re now opening that workflow to other production companies — to validate it in different environments and continue improving it together with our beta users.

For teams that care about quality

Preproduction.studio is for production companies and creative agencies that care about quality — teams that are done with messy preproduction and know that better preparation leads to better productions.

Less administration. Less back and forth. More time to focus on the work that matters.

Our mission is to become the go-to platform for creative preproduction — helping videomakers, producers and creative agencies spend less time managing projects and more time creating exceptional films. Not by replacing creativity, but by removing the friction around it.
