We can appreciate that when you have never made a video before it can be quite a daunting task choosing the right production company. After all you want your new video to be the best, the highest quality and watched by the right audience. So where do you begin? We have outlined a few suggestions to help you in choosing the right production company to partner with. Whether you are looking for a few short explainer videos or a long-term relationship to create lots of video content we can help you ask the right questions to ensure that you choose wisely.

WHAT IS THE WORK LIKE?

We ask all of our new clients to look at our portfolio when they are deciding what sort of video they are looking to create. Has the production company got an impressive portfolio? Do they demonstrate a wide variety of expertise within their videos or do they all look the same? If the answer is they all look the same, then your video will possibly also fall into this category and look the same too. Is this what you want or are you looking to stand out against the crowd with your new video?

DO THEY HAVE A CREATIVE APPROACH?

With the popularity of videos growing by the second, “production companies” are setting up daily offering videos. But when you look closer at their portfolios are they demonstrating a creative approach to solving a problem and producing measured results or are they simply pointing a camera at someone and framing a head and shoulders shot against a plain background?

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO THEY HAVE?

If they have just started a production company the chances are that their experience is limited in creating videos and therefore haven’t had the time to build a strong client base. Our team not only has extensive media knowledge and experience but also regularly undergo further media training to ensure that their skills are up to date. Each member of the team has worked for large broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and SKY TV.

DO THEY KNOW WHAT YOU NEED AND HOW YOUR BUSINESS WORKS?

We find that the beginning part of a project is the most crucial. We call this Pre-Production. This first stage is where we gather all-important information about you and your business and learn from you the problems that your business might be experiencing. Only then can we begin to provide the solutions.

CAN YOU WORK WITH THEM?

We are about creating long-term relationships with our clients and pride ourselves on having a very focused but friendly approach to each project we undertake. Our clients know that they can trust us to deliver on time and on budget and that we will always go the extra mile to ensure project completion and complete client satisfaction.

So when you are planning to work with a production company to produce your next video ask yourself the questions above and if other companies fall short then please don’t hesitate to contact us.
