What is Video Production?

 

Quite simply, Video Production is both the art and science of creating a finished video product specifically tailored to each client.

 

At Fort Collins Video we collaborate with you in order to create an end product that matches your vision.

 

Starting with an interview, we will learn more about your specific vision and will, depending on your desires, take the lead in creating that product with you involved as much or as little as you would like.

 

Whether your idea takes our videographers to your office or the top of a mountain, we will be there using both the art and science of Video Production.

 

If you own a business that needs to communicate internally or externally, video can help.  Click here to read more about how video can play a role in your organization!

 

If you can envision it, we can do it!

Testimonials

"Larry's technical knowledge, quality equipment, and quick turn-around were just what I needed when I decided to incorporate video into my marketing program. We shot on location, so his ability to adapt to lighting and room arrangements were important to creating an effective session. He delivered a finished product quickly, within his original estimate, and with no surprises!"

Phil Schwolert, The Homesteader

"Larry did the video for my website and I am very happy with the result. He was patient, kind and skilled. He went above and beyond after the session as I figured out how to get it on my web site. His prices are very reasonable and I recommend everyone in business to start using video as the tremendous educational and marketing tool that it is."

Anne Alexander, Authentic Alternatives

"Larry's production skills are extremely professional. The effects that he added to our production made it very enjoyable. Larry was also very flexible in the production of content, allowing us to add footage that we shot and then combining for a very polished production."

Jill Shannon, Hewlett-Packard

"Larry documented 2 days of usability testing for a product I designed. He did a great job capturing the live sessions, and producing DVDs to meet our aggressive schedule. And, he billed less than the original estimate - highly recommended."

Jim Dow, Radian Design

"I am so impressed!!  That video is incredible!! And, I just sent you the text a few minutes ago. You are amazing.  I'm serious, that video just blew me away. It is so well done. You picked out video clips that matched the commercial promo words, the fades to new pics is smooth and seamless and the color and use of the logo is awesome. The Kingpins logo at the start and finish and the web site contact are brilliant for getting the name across.  You make us look way good. I love, love, love the timing of the video; the pace of how it moves from clip to clip. The length is perfect. It gets to the point, moves with confidence and ends. Sweeeeet. Shorter, it would be rushed, longer and it would start to be tiresome. It's just right.  I'm blown away !!!   Simple as that. And the music staff framing the top and bottom, how cool is that?  That you could do this quality work so fast is beyond me."

Don DiTommaso, The Kingpins Rhythm and Blues Band

"I have worked with Larry to produce three videos for the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner. Each time I have worked with Larry not only is he personable and friendly but he also churns out a great end product that I feel proud to display at my event. I highly recommend Larry and his services to anyone looking for a cost-effective way to produce a high quality product!"

Erin Collins, Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce

Pricing

Because a video is created to match your individual needs, we offer initial exploratory phone calls and a one hour in-person consultation at no cost.  During this consultation we will discuss the many product and process choices that can be made to control the final cost to you.

Some clients will want to be involved in a "Director" role, others will want to be involved in the idea but leave the details to us.  This flexibility in our degree of involvement is one factor that differentiates Fort Collins Video from the competition.

In a nutshell, the more we're involved the more your final product will cost but the less work you'll have to do.

 

$ Key Points That Can Affect Pricing $

Format -  Standard definition or high definition?  At this time we charge approximately 25% more for high definition production.

Complexity - Today's typical television commercials may only be 30-60 seconds in length, but they tend to be complex - containing moving graphics, overlapping sound tracks, etc.  Producing a 60 second commercial will often take more production time than a full hour educational production where the bulk of the video consists of an instructor in front of a white board.

Communication - Fort Collins Video can take your high level concept and turn it into reality.  We can also take a script and work from that.   The more you know about what you want, and the more clearly you can communicate that to us, the faster your project will move.

Navigation - If your final product will be on DVD, you can decide how complex the menuing will be.  We can produce a DVD that will simply play all the way through once it's placed in a DVD player (or computer) or we can create a ?Hollywood style? DVD with  menus to let you navigate through the video.

Length - The longer your final product is, the longer it will take to produce, thereby increasing the cost.

Packaging - How will you distribute the final product?  Is a case with a printed label required for each DVD or can simple paper sleeves be used?  Will you need 100s of DVDs or just a dozen?

So, what might some typical costs be?

 Here are some standard definition pricing examples -

Simple 60 Second Television Commercial

  • Two hours collaborating with the client on the product

  • Two hours of taping at client's location

  • One hour to scan and adjust business artwork for moving graphics

Approximate cost:   $900.00

It's very important to us that you know we'll work with you to create your desired product within your budget!
