5 Qualities to look for when choosing a Video Production Company

Plenty of video production companies are available in the market. Do you think the cheapest ones are always the best?

The answer is of course ‘No’..!!

According to market survey, many entrepreneurs’ requirements will mismatch with video production company

Sometimes you will get a company that makes outdated videos or maybe you don’t have one at all. One thing is certain – you have a message to get out to your employees or customers and producing a video is the best way to accomplish it.
Maybe they can do your video using one or two people, but will the final quality pale in comparison to the experienced production company that recommends three or four people for the same job?
Despite what you may have heard, rarely can a poorly shot video be “saved” in the edit suite. You might have saved money on the shoot only to find you’re paying more to get the video fixed during editorial.

In this post, we’ll review 5 jump start tips in the hiring of a production company and what to look for when choosing a video production company.

Experience
“By experience we find out a short way by a long wondering”
Yes!! Very well said
A company with little or no experience may know how to do a certain task very well, however, if they are faced with any technical issues or changing requirements they’ve never faced before and most likely aren’t equipped for, they won’t be able to cope and your project can be ruined.
Ask your potential production company how long they have been in business, and about the experience levels of the staff members.
Many companies or individuals try to create complex videos using inexperienced employees or interns for their video production in order to reduce production expenditure
But the end products will lack a certain polish and professionalism.
Your crew should have plenty of filming and editing experience and be willing to involve you throughout the process.


Creativity
Creativity is something that cannot be taught.
 Look for a good camera operator he will be able to spot a good opportunity and have an artistic eye for framing shots.
 Having the ability to look through the lens and picture how all of the elements come together – visual composition, perspective, lighting and movement – is crucial in the video making
 So that the video production company should have ability to capture the images that will reinforce your message and tell your story in the way you want it to and one that is consistent with your brand image
Price
Everyone said, of course price matters. But, what are you going to get for the price? 
More often entrepreneurs think that video production is a commodity like shopping for gas or a gallon of milk when in reality it’s more like choosing a surgeon where you want the best and most appropriate for the surgery.
You need to determine whether a video production company cares more about quantity or quality.
 In the end, when there is a sea of videos being produced every day, it is only the quality videos that will rise above the rest. 

At Visual connections, we would much rather invest every penny into the best possible production.

We always use the best creative and crew talent - directors, actors, and videographers.

We want the best gear!!

We want the best creative process and storytelling efforts!!

And, we also want best post production: music selection, sound design, coloring, editing and digital effects. 
Having the best obviously will impact the price, but will also give you a much higher end video. 

Professionalism & discipline
Did you receive punctual and professional customer service?
Did you have right impression when you contact video production company?
 Did they listen what you needed and offer best solution for your business?
Just as with any other business, professional appearance, punctuality, mannerisms, and customer service are critical traits to take note of when interacting with your videographer.
Video requirements may change from initial stage to final and you want a video team who shows they can be flexible to needed changes. Be cautious while choosing a video team; always choose a team you feel comfortable with.
A good video production company will strive to make the experience simplified, stress-free and agreeable for you and your company.

References 

This last tip is just a reminder that life is short. Work with people you like! 

Most sites contain client reviews and its here you can get a better feel for what the production company brings to the table.
There are some video production companies out there that may have a lot of hype and pizzazz on the front end but in reality they can bring their fake work
Ask videographer to provide information about past clients
If he is a professional videographer should strive to satisfy their customer’s needs and if there is any sign of an unsatisfied client or mediocrity, the same could happen to you.
Perusing these references can also provide thought for your video needs – what qualities are you looking for in a production company? Is their clientele representative of companies you know or admire? Will you be in good company with this production company?

End note

Finding best video production company can be overwhelming if you Understand your business goals, planning, being professional, flexible and easy to work with, having done successful similar work, knowing satisfied clients of the company and knowing the experience of the company to solve problems during your project are traits you should look for when choosing a company for your video project.
