You’ve produced a video for your organization, and you’ve released it to the world. Now what? This may not be your first time at the rodeo, and it certainly won’t be your last. Each video project adds to your portfolio of communication tools and informs the production of the next. So take a moment to evaluate what was successful and what missed the mark. We explain how in part 3 of our 3-part series on working with a video production company.
The idea of assigning a “process” to creative work might seem limiting. But over the years we’ve honed a production process that liberates strong storytelling to the benefit of our clients. Below, we’ll share a little bit about our production process in part 2 of our 3-part series on working with a production company.
As time intensive as it can be, we love responding to inquiries for video production bids. We’re truly inspired by the work you do and want to help you advance your mission with our storytelling. But sometimes we receive bids that don’t include all the right information, making it difficult to gauge what the potential client wants to achieve. So we thought it might be helpful to outline what to include in a video production RFP or Inquiry.
In our years of employment, we’ve seen our fair share of gifts sent by vendors to clients during the holiday season. One web design company sent branded Nalgenes filled with candy to every member of the communications team as a thank you for their contract. Another vendor sent hand-crafted chocolates in branded wood-burned boxes. Beautiful presents indeed.
But when it came time for us to think about sending a holiday “thank you” to our clients and the subjects in our independent films, we decided to go in a different direction: homemade. Eidolon Films is a small two-person company and our appeal to large clients is not our size and brand, but rather our quality of work, attention to detail, personalized service and passion for the mission more than the bill.
