How to Pick a Videographer or a Video Production Company?
There are several factors to consider when selecting a videographer or video production company for personal or corporate videography services. Is your project large enough to require a full video crew? Can the company not only provide small and large crews, but can they provide you with what you need in both acquisition and deliverables and come prepared with a full range of the most cutting-edge cameras and post-production software? Do they charge a fair price and have different levels of service to cater to what you need?
Many prospective clients look exclusively at price when determining what videographer or video production company to select. While we understand that companies or individuals have budgets, there are some additional criteria that you may want to consider.
Do I Need a Video Crew? What Equipment Will You Use? How Much is It?
- Experience – Does the videographer or video crew have experience in shooting specifically what you require? Corporate events? Training videos? If you’re hiring a videographer to shoot a one-time event that can’t be repeated or is costly to reschedule, it is going to be very important to get it done correctly the first time.
- Communication – Is the communication between you and your prospective vendor good? This can also help you determine if you are dealing with someone who is reliable. When both the client and vendor ask the right questions, this can help dispel problems regarding the shoot, pricing, or other aspects. Make sure everybody is on the same page!
- Video Demos or Clips – The proof is in the pudding. How does the videographer's work stand up? At 7th Wave Pictures, we have a variety of video demos and clips so you can see our Atlanta video crew’s latest work and the quality you will receive from our services.
- Format – There are too many options for cameras, formats, and settings to go over on just one page. If you – like some clients – are not sure what you need, talk with the videographer or production company and tell them what you are looking to do. Does your upcoming shoot need to match the style or format from a previous shoot? 7th Wave Pictures and our experienced video crew can help you determine what might work best for your final product.
- Price – Every company has different prices so you will have a range to choose from. Is price important to you? Absolutely! But if you choose someone with less experience for a bottom-dollar rate, then be prepared for bottom-dollar results. 7th Wave Pictures provides fair and competitive pricing based upon our level of experience and professional services.
