What exactly do you do as a video production company?
Our goal is simple: help businesses thrive with genuine, content-packed videos. We create a variety of videos, from customer testimonials to product demos, recruitment clips, event highlights, interviews, and overall corporate content.
We specialize in working with small and medium-sized businesses as well as international organizations. No actors or influencers here – we shine the spotlight on your CEO, colleagues, partners, or the people you want to connect with.
Our approach? We weave compelling visual narratives, whether through on-camera talks, interviews, or voice-overs, ensuring your audience truly understands your story and what you offer.
Our focus? Crafting videos that amp up your marketing, communication, and recruitment efforts. Let's make your story come to life!
How do you differ from other video production companies?
What we're all about? Crafting corporate videos packed with substance, featuring genuine stories from real folks. Plus, we're lightning fast – our team knows the ins and outs of all things video production, allowing us to churn out multiple videos in no time, all with a small crew. We don't just stop at production; we're experts in video strategy and marketing too. That way, we guarantee your videos won't just look good, they'll deliver the results you're after. Let's get your story out there!
What types of video content are most effective right now?
Lately, we've been busy creating customer testimonials, explainer videos about products, wedding videos, and social videos for our clients.
Can we see examples of previous projects you have done for similar companies?
Yes. Examples by category can be viewed on our YouTube portfolio page.
What are the steps in the video production process?
Here's how we roll: first, we chat it out in an intake interview, figuring out the vibe, content, style, and format together. Then, we put together a script, set up filming dates, and sort out all the necessary prep work. Once the shooting's done, we dive into post-production, and voila! We typically get the videos ready within 5 working days. After a round of feedback and tweaks, your video is good to go, ready to share with your audience!
What do you need from us to get started?
Before we dive into filming, we need a clear game plan – that means a script or a brief that outlines what the video's all about. We want to know the setting, the key people, and any questions for interviews, voice-overs, or presentations. Plus, let us in on what visuals you're thinking of, and which scenes we should capture.
Also, we're in need of a few essentials:
* Your logo in high-res, no background, preferably in .ai or .png format. * The color codes that match your brand's vibe – if you have a brand guide, even better. * Any specific font you'd like us to use.
Help us make your video shine!
What is your policy regarding cancellation or postponement of a screening day?
Life happens, and we get it. If something unexpected comes up that's beyond your control, we're here to help sort things out. We can consider alternatives, like applying the cancellation fee as a discount for a future video project.
Now, if a shooting day needs to be rescheduled or canceled, here's the deal on cancellation fees:
* Within 7 days before the recording date: 50% of the recording fee * Within 1 day before the recording date: 100% of the recording fee
Got any doubts about canceling a recording day? Just reach out to us. We're pretty good at finding creative solutions to make sure things go as planned. Let's keep the communication flowing!
Can you help create different versions of the same video, e.g. for different platforms or audiences?
Through us, you can have a video created and optimised for any platform such as your website, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook or for display at a trade show, event or in an app.
What does a shooting day look like?
It varies for each project – no shoot day is identical. But one thing's for sure: we always methodically work through a shot list and script on the shooting day. By the day's end, we've got all the footage needed for editing one or more videos. Plus, our shoot days are always a lot of fun!
What happens if there are unforeseen circumstances (such as bad weather) on the shoot day?
So, what's considered bad weather for filming? Well, believe it or not, a sky full of sunshine isn't always picture-perfect on screen. We actually love the typical Dutch days – you know, a bit cloudy with occasional rain showers. It adds that authentic touch to our footage!
Now, there are exceptions, of course. If there's a wild storm, heavy rain, or snow showers announced and we can't capture everything outdoors, we'll reschedule for a better time.
But let's say your video absolutely needs that sunny, summer vibe. No worries – we can work out a fair-weather guarantee in advance.
Do you also film with a drone?
Yes, this is possible. For this, we work with certified drone operators. Keep in mind, though, that there are strict regulations that even we have to abide by. For instance, permits often have to be applied for in advance when filming close to an airport.
Can you provide photography as well?
Absolutely, we offer corporate photography too! We actually suggest bundling it with our video shoots. It's a win-win – you get all your visual content sorted in one go, and the photography seamlessly complements your video content. Easy peasy!
Can a voice-over also be added to the video?
Certainly! We collaborate with numerous skilled voice-over artists.
Can you add subtitles as well?
Certainly! Whether it's Dutch, English, or Arabic, we've got you covered. We collaborate with translation agencies, and you can choose to have the subtitles integrated directly into the video or delivered as an .SRT file. Your choice!
How will the rights and licences of the video be arranged?
Wondering about the rights and licenses for your video? No worries! As our client, you automatically get the rights to share the delivered videos globally and for as long as you want, through any channel – online or offline. Pretty cool, right? Unless we've agreed on something different beforehand, of course.
And hey, if you want full control over the raw footage or project files to create more videos internally or with another production partner, that's totally doable too. We can work out separate pricing for that. Just let us know what you need!
What about music and image rights for use in our video?
Worried about the music and image rights for your video? No need to stress! All the images in our videos are either shot by us or bought, so you're good to go. And when it comes to music, we buy tunes from different music databases. Easy and hassle-free, right? Let's keep those creative vibes flowing!
How do you handle changes and feedback during the production process?
Wondering how we handle changes and feedback during the production process? Easy peasy! Typically, we nail down the style and content of your video pretty early on, so major changes are rare – just a few tweaks here and there.
But hey, we totally get that adjustments might be needed. That's why we offer two free revisions as part of our deal. If you have feedback, shoot us an email with the time codes or specific parts you'd like us to tweak.
Once we get your feedback, we'll usually have the updated video ready within 2 working days. And if time is of the essence, we sort out delivery and feedback schedules upfront to speed things up.
