Portland Web Video Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How long does the process take?

A. We have you answer some questions before you come in for the video shoot, which will give us the information that we need to capture your message on video. You can answer the questions on your own time. When you come in for the video shoot it will only take about 2 hours of your time. After the video shoot we create a rough edit for your review and once you give us the ok, we polish it up and get it ready for upload.

Q. What do you do to market my video.

A. We will upload the video to YouTube for you and can also upload it to your site. We will also give you a list of other places you can upload your video, which can help

Q.What do I need to do to prepare for the video shoot?

A. You will need to answer a questionaire that will help us to get all the information captured that we need for your video. Besides that you should consider what clothes you want to wear for the video. It is helpful if you have a button down shirt to make it easiest to place the lapel microphone on you to capture sound, but we can work with other clothes as well. Besides that just come well rested and ready to be yourself and to have fun!

Why are the video shoots unscripted?

A. I built websites for many years and found that getting text for the sites was the one piece of the puzzle that usually slowed the process down. Yet, when I met with business owners and managers, it was easy for them to talk about their business and what makes it special. I realized that the easiest way to get this message across to the consumer was to shoot video of the client. That was the thought that birthed the company. Real people, with real stories about why they love their business. No paid actor can get the story across the same way.

Q. I've never acted in my life. Can I really make a video?

A. We aren't making scripted videos with professional actors. Your business isn't about acting. It is about being of service. When someone within the company is talking about what makes the company special, it adds credibility to the company. You won't see any actors on this website.

Q. What are the costs associated with creating the video?

A. You are getting in on the ground floor so the first 10 videos will be half the normal price of $997. You will only pay $497 for your video. The only request I have is that you give me some feedback on how the process went.
