Since 2000, Groovy Like a Movie has forged an identity as San Diego's premiere corporate storyteller. From our short films dealing with such issues as the post-combat stress of our returning servicemen and women to Emmy award- winning commercials, Groovy Like a Movie has garnered a hard-fought and well-deserved reputation of constantly pushing the boundaries of ourselves, our clients, and our messages.
Our ideas and creative input sets Groovy Like a Movie apart from competitors -- we help clients discover the larger picture in whatever form the story is best told. We want our clients' audience to experience our stories and not just witness them.
How we conduct business also speaks volumes about Groovy Like a Movie. As a company that places great value in integrity, Groovy Like a Movie won the San Diego Better Business Bureau's Torch Award for Ethics in 2006 and was a finalist for the same award in 2005 and 2008.
Also, in 2008, the County of San Diego certified us as one of the only production companies in the state of California operating an eco-friendly, "green" business.
Being ethical and green doesn't mean we make compromises with business. In 2008 and 2009, the San Diego Business Journal recognized Groovy as one of San Diego's fastest growing privately held companies.
All of which would mean very little if our work wasn't excellent. Groovy Like a Movie has received numerous awards for the quality of our work, including Telly, MarCom, Aurora, Ava, Communicator, Blingy (our personal favorite!), and three Emmys.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Make sure you have a complete scope of work, including things like how many revisions you will receive, what is the timeline, who will be managing your project, etc.
It is also critical that you appoint a lead person on your team who has final authority to make decisions.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. No budget is a good budget if you don't end up with an effective piece of media at the end of the project - make sure that you are realistic about your goals, and make sure your budget matches those goals.
Be very specific about your audience. The more laser focused you are on your specific audience, the better your messaging will be - and that translates into a more effective project.
If you think your audience is "everyone," you are wrong!
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. What do you do to guarantee my project will be delivered on time?
Have you worked with clients that have similar concerns to ours?
Tell me about some other projects that have delivered success for the client.
Who retains copyright to both the finished product, AND the original footage? Is there an additional cost to retaining copyright?
How do you archive my project if I need revisions in 6 months or a year?
What are my duties as a client?
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Pick some samples of videos you like and dont like. They don't have to be directly related to your industry, but having visual references is very helpful
Make sure you have an honest conversation with yourself and with the service provider about budget. Video production can range from extremely affordable to very very (very!) expensive. Everyone wins when they know what the budget is going into the process.
Because of the diverse nature of video production, there is no such thing as a "ballpark price" without knowing quite a bit about the project.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. We have a mission here: to inspire people to think, feel, and do. We believe that when you can reach someone intellectually and touch them emotionally - then getting that person to take an action becomes much easier.
