Development • Pre- Production
MVP specializes in screenwriting for almost any type of content one can fathom. Whether it's a short film, music video, commercial, social media campaign, documentary film or corporate media program, EEagency is equipped to develop projects worthy of pitching. Every project starts with an idea that must become a treatment and then transform into a script. Once a final spec script is drafted, the project must show that it is worthy for financial investment through a visual and compelling medium. This can be done by creating pitch decks and proof of concept videos or slideshows. It is important to breakdown a script so that it can be financially projected by drafting preliminary budgets, purchase sheets, production schedules and often times engineering schematics. Not all projects require every one of these things, which is why it is essential to first have a spec script in order to illuminate the best path for creatives and entrepreneurs. Once a project is pitched and green lit, it's time to take all of that hard work and move into pre-production which will include purchasing the necessary gear or contracting the essential players that will come together to make a winning team.

Production
We offer many physical production services for projects that are ready to start filming. From directing to producing or co-producing, cinematography and animation, experience is what enables EEagency to lead an idea to completion. If an idea is treated like a project, then physical production is the manufacturing methodology. Working with casting directors, sound recording artists, composers, transportation groups, camera and DP services/boutiques, makeup artists, special effects studios, prop houses, location services, drone operations, and VFX firms, EEagency utilizes a vast and skilled creative network, if a client is in need of a service, EEagency has the leads to point in the right direction.
Post-Production
Having a background in production, virtual production, post-production, motion picture camera sales and VFX production, MVP and EEagency offer many solutions to the post-production process. Developing and mapping out pipelines before physical production is the key to a smooth operation and well-paced timely delivery. When there's too much on the plate, it's best to manage the workload from the pre-production stage, resulting in the involvement of post-production players during the production phases. Services and referrals include editing, color finishing, VFX production, marketing and coordinating. While conceiving and producing an idea takes a lot of passion, motivation drive and work, it's important to understand where your project will premiere or live from the pre-production phase. EEagency can help to decide whether your project might be best to help monetize your youtube channel, generate an audience or perform and compete in a festival circuit. Knowing what you plan on doing with your project will determine how it will be handled in the post-production phase for quality, professional and impressive results.
The brand
An idea can be like an elephant. It can be big and bold, and it can even shake the ground when it moves. The term “elephant in the room” is commonly used to describe something so obvious that no one can miss it, yet no one wants to admit that it exists.In 1903 the Edison Film Company created a 74 second film depicting the electrocution of Topsy the elephant in order to slander the Westinghouse roll-out of alternating current, in order to ensure that the Edison model would be powering the electrical grids of the United States. This was known as the War of the Currents.​Electric Elephant Agency was founded in the memory of Nikola Tesla, Topsy the Elephant and The War of the Currents where history saw Thomas Edison systemically deny a natural truth, in pursuit of control and profit.The mission of Electric Elephant Agency is to remind and ignite creative souls because energy is free. It can be pulled from all around us, so motivation is easy to find.
