Every project is different and comes with it's own unique questions. Hopefully these can cross some of those off your list,

What questions should I prepare before talking to professional team member about my project?

 The essential ones: 
- Project Mission:  What am I trying to accomplish with this project?

- Time & Money: How much of each do you have to spend? Producing great video content takes time or money or a combo of both.  

- When do you want this video content delivered to you?  Time, as you know, is money. 

- On a scale from 1-10 where do you need the production value to be?  1 is shot on your iPhone and 10 is a Hollywood style production.

-
When would you like this to start?


How long should I give for pre-production?

These are the suggested mininums

- Short Film > 3 months 

- Feature films > 6 months 

- Music videos > 1 month 

- Corporate videos or interview > 2 and half  weeks to a month

What is some advice we wish we knew when we planned our very first projects?

- Collaboration starts with an accurate Quote.  
- If you encounter a Videographer that doesn't ask a lot of questions about your needs for a given project and just quotes you a price, look elsewhere.
- In this business, if the price is too good to be true, it actually is.   

Great video production is a collaborative undertaking and that feeling has to be present from the start - even before the shoot agreement is signed.  The magic occurs when the passion of the customer for the project mingles with the passion of the filmmaker to tell a compelling story.
