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 uses our videographers and producers at your office or the top of a mountain, or
if the project uses your existing visual assets, we will apply both the art and science of Video Production.
We can help you deploy your video on a 60" high-definition display or a
cell phone.
If you own
a business that needs to communicate internally or externally, video can
help.

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 has a unique ability to tune into his clients, both
by listening to them and advising when necessary. He easily understood
what I wanted and assisted me in its accomplishment. I felt at home as we
engaged in that 'first video experience'. Future videos will definitely
be with Larry."
Judith K Hamman, Personal & Business Coach

"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 |

"Thank you for your high quality and timely work
on our latest product. I want you to know that I will highly recommend you
to others that need video production work. As you know in this business it
is common that time is of the essence. Your responsiveness enabled me to
schedule and organize the video shoot before other production companies even
called me back.
Your prices were very reasonable and at that you
even came in under the budget you estimated. The quality of the work you
did was everything we hoped for and more. Your skills are quite apparent in
your quick and efficient ability to make edits to give us what we needed.
Thank you again for a job well done."
Kevin G. Abelbeck, Pilates X-Trainer, LLC |
"We wanted to
produce two short 'How To' videos quickly and cost effectively. Larry and
Fort Collins Video was the best fit for our needs. Larry was easy to work
with and helpful in making some suggestions on the day of the shoot that
improved the overall impact of the videos. He also was very quick to turn
around the multiple edits we had post production, and delivered a quality
video that met both our marketing, timing and budgetary needs."
Chris Gorski
Director of Catalog Marketing
Hach Company

"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."

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. We do not quote on a "per minute of
finished video" basis! We give you a custom quote based on exactly what
you want and need from a content and process perspective.
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 or Blu-ray, you can decide how complex the menuing will be. We can produce a
disc that
will simply play all the way through once it's placed in a set-top disc player (or
computer) or we can create a "Hollywood style" disc 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 disc or can simple
paper sleeves be used? Will you need 100s of discs or just a dozen?
So, what might some
typical costs be?
