FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I do most everything from broadcast to internet campaigns. You name it...I can put it together for you. If you have something that you feel needs a specific format like "reality"...you show me an example and I'll turn your production into the same thing. Too many people think it is brain surgery and will only hire an editor or shooter based on them having knowledge of a specific "niche" type of production...I always say like NIKE..."just do it". It isn't brain surgery.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always...always make sure you compare apples to apples. There are a lot of production companies out there that will give you a great price, but make sure what you are getting for that price. You may get a great price, but get a horrible production. So often in this business, as with most, you get what you pay for. The standard industry saying is "Cheap, fast, and good...pick any two!"
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
One of the biggest struggles in this business is that people think that because you can turn a production fast or "its just video" that there is not time and equipment that is involved so it is hard for them to see why they have to pay so much for it. It is almost like most people think there is this "make video button" on the laptop and it just spits out production for them. There is real time...real expensive equipment...and a lot of intellectual skill required to do a good production for a good price. Clients need to recognize the fact that even though I make it look easy and I turn their production quicker than most...a good video is still and investment.
