.: Welcome to Five Swinya Productions



Welcome back to the site, or if it is your first time, great to see you here.

I just completed my Digital Filmmaking Diploma (Honors) program from New Media Campus in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

I am all trained in the film production side of business and looking to expand my opportunities.

Some of the services offered in pre-production, during and in post-production:

I can offer these services in either hired on with production, or doing freelance work on the side without direct involvement with production.

With high speed internet, telephone, file sharing, and film making going digital in the paperwork aspect too, I can offer these services mostly at any time and with decent turn around time.

Script Writing Assistance with all aspects of writing a script, from concept to final draft. Typing it into a digital form. Trained using Final Draft scriptwriting software

Script Breakdown Trained in Movie Magic Scheduling software. Breaking down the script, cast, props etc. Doing a shoot schedule of amount of days needed with the most efficient way of shooting according to the needs of the client. Also creating a call sheet. Exporting the Movie Magic Scheduling file and importing into Movie Magic Budgeting.

Also while talking about scheduling I am looking to expand into the Assistant Director department. I have been fully trained in the duties of the AD department and have worked on one short film and a few music videos in the AD department. So I am willing to work with anyone in this aspect, from a low/no budget to a feature.

Budgeting Trained with Movie Magic Budgeting software. Also working with a digital file straight from Final Draft, to Movie Magic Scheduling and then to Movie Magic Budgeting. Very little waste of paper required in the digital format and files can be exchanged and sent to client very fast, and changes happening even quicker.

In the production side of things, I have owned a video production business for over 5 years, and have been involved in video for over 10 years.
