Cost and Time Savings

The automated efficiency of PhotoKill Online™ greatly enhances productivity, allowing production companies and studios to save both time and money. Savings are achieved in areas such as personnel, legal, printing and reproduction, courier services and postage. With the number of production stills shot during a film potentially reaching upwards of 50,000 or more, it's easy to see how these expenses can easily reach into the thousands of dollars.

Labor savings: A typical production will employ a Unit Publicist and one or more production assistants for a period of several weeks to several months to aid in the completion of the photokill process. With PhotoKill Online, the conversion, tagging, sorting, separating and securing of images is done for you. From project initiation through completion, every step is handled by Film Solutions.

PhotoKill Online enables film and television companies to employ fewer production assistants and/or for shorter durations, and allows process closure in a fraction of the time now required — ensuring that productions are able to promote their projects in a timely manner.

Reproduction Savings: PhotoKill Online reduces or eliminates the costs associated with reproducing color photos for approval, including the purchase and rental of color printers and the additional expense of printing supplies such as photo quality paper, color ink and envelopes.

Courier and Delivery Savings: With the nomadic nature of actors, delivering printed photos and retrieving completed photo kills is often a very difficult, costly and time-consuming process. Our online approval process allows talent to complete the photokill process wherever an Internet connection exists, eliminating the need to physically deliver or courier photos.
