Commercials/ PSAs/Promos/ Interstitials
|
Typical tv commercials are 30 seconds although they can be as short as 15 seconds and as long as one minute. Commercials can be scripted or unscripted and can include professional actors and voice over artists. Unscripted, documentary-style commercials are my specialty but I can produce in any style you choose.
Typical distribution options include broadcast and cablecast. If tv air-time is too expensive, you can even have me upload your videos to online video sites such as Google Video, YouTube, MetaCafe, and others. I will geotag your video so it will show up in relevant search results and on Google Maps.
(Check out my package deals for special pricing on unscripted commercials for your website.)

Events

Have an event you would like videotaped and edited into a nice presentation? Depending on your budget, event coverage can be shot from multiple angles using a multi-camera setup. For smaller budgets or situations that don't require multiple angles, a single camera can capture the event.

Promotional Videos/ Corporate Videos
|
Promotional videos are very similar to documentaries except they are designed purposefully to promote your business, service or message to a specific audience. The best type of advertising is the kind that doesn't look like advertising but is disguised as entertainment. Thus your audience is more receptive to your message and doesn't automatically tune it out like they would most advertising.

"Sowetto Street Beat"

FundraisingVideos/ Recruitment Videos
|
Need a video to help raise money for your cause or to help recruit employees to your business? Just like with promotional videos, the best fundraising and recruitment videos are those that don't first appear to be trying to influence the viewer. Most people tend to be on guard when they feel like you're asking them for money or trying to recruit them. Thus the easiest way to deliver your message is to first put the viewer at ease with great testimonials about your organization. Again, these are very similar to documentaries except they are designed for a specific purpose and a specific audience.
