FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Video production is an effective way to emotionally engage with audiences, promote your brand, and convey your message. It’s also a powerful tool for communicating complex ideas in a short amount of time. Often, our clients utilize video to generate new leads, support sales, train and recruit employees, explain a complicated product or service, or even raise funds in the non-profit sector. To put it simply, video is the best tool to communicate online, showcase the personality of your brand, and create an authentic and emotional connection with your target audience.

Video production can help businesses to attract and retain customers, increase brand awareness, and showcase products or services. Video can also be used for fundraising, sales and marketing, explaining complex ideas in a simple form, and training employees. Some of our clients use video to explain complex and tedious processes to clients, saving their employees massive amounts of time. Others want to keep their online messaging entertaining and engaging. No matter what your business goals are, video is a powerful support tool.

Edge of Cinema produces corporate branding videos, TV commercials, online advertising videos, product videos, training and recruiting videos, music videos, documentaries, fundraising videos, and videos for content marketing campaigns across popular social media channels. We produce a wide variety of animation styles, which can be used to explain complex ideas in a fun and entertaining format. If you’re not sure which video will be most effective for your campaign, give us a call and we can discuss your goals to identify a custom video production strategy.

The cost of video production depends on various factors, such as the type of video, length, complexity, whether the video will require casting and actors, props, wardrobe, what quality video you want to produce, travel, and whether you want to shoot in our studio or on location. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, but generally a 1-2 minute on-location video production falls in the range of $2,000-$5,000. If you have a project in mind, schedule a short creative planning meeting with one of our creative directors and we’ll provide a custom proposal for your campaign.

The time it takes to produce a video depends on the type, length, and complexity of the video. An in-studio video can take a few days to produce, and a complex animation or documentary can take several months. Edge of Cinema’s average turnaround for a 1-2 minute on-location video is 2-3 weeks from the date of production. If you have a tight deadline to hit, schedule a short call or meeting with one of our creative directors and we’ll give you an accurate timeline. Edge of Cinema also offers a rush service, where our team will work nights and weekends to ensure your video is complete for your deadline.

Pre-production is the planning phase of video production. After a collaborating creative meeting, we’ll write your script, shot list, production schedule, cast actors, scout and book locations, and make sure we have everything we need for a successful day of production. For animated videos, we also produce style frames and storyboards to ensure the final animation will follow your vision for the project. Pre-production is the most important stage of video production, and Edge of Cinema specializes in making sure your video’s messaging is designed to reach your goals, impact your target audience, and most importantly generate results and a return on investment.

Production is the filming phase of video production, which involves capturing your video footage and audio. Edge of Cinema’s team will follow your script and shot list to capture every element of the video (and usually some additional impromptu content). Our cinematography team will set up lights and motion camera rigs for each shot, giving your video an elite and cinematic look, and our audio team will focus on capturing clean and clear audio. The director and producer will manage the set during production, ensuring we capture everything we need while also making sure our talent gives their best performance. We encourage all of our clients to be on set for production. It’s fun, and you’ll get to see the making of filmmaking in action.

Post-production is the editing phase of video production, which involves tasks such as color grading, sound design, visual effects, and rendering. Our editing team will gather all of the footage captured in production, and following the script and shot list, they’ll assemble the video for your review. To keep your video’s branding in sync with your existing marketing efforts, we ask for branding guides and high-quality logos ahead of time. Edge of Cinema includes two rounds of subjective edits in our video production packages, but often with our collaborative creative process, we hit the nail on the head on the first cut.

A video marketing strategy is a plan that outlines how videos will be used to achieve specific business goals, such as increasing sales or brand awareness. Part of our pre-production process is to understand exactly what you want your video to achieve. With the goals mapped out, we can funnel every other stage of the video production process through them, ensuring the final video will speak to the intended audience, convey your message efficiently, and most importantly engage your viewers. Our digital marketing services are designed to assist you with the launch of your video. If you need help creating a landing page (or redesigning your website to match your marketing goals), or want to promote your video across paid marketing channels or on TV, let us know and we’ll help you prepare for a successful video launch. 

The success of a video production campaign can be measured through metrics such as views, engagement, shares, leads, sales, and return on investment (ROI). Let our creative team know what you hope to achieve with your video! We want to tailor your video production campaign to meet your goals and provide a strong return on investment. A big part of our pre-production creative planning meetings is to outline your goals to ensure your video achieves them.
