What you can expect as we develop your video.

When I work for you, my goal is to make you happy. I want to provide you with the best images, experience, and video possible.

Step One: (information, planning, and concept)

I gather as much information as possible to customize your video to your message, passion, and specifications. This is all about the details and telling your story.  I want your video to undeniably reflect YOU, your vision, your mission, your experience, and your business!

I generate or streamline a script, storyboard, a project schedule, and price. Everything and pricing get your approval prior to the actual work being captured or developed.

Preplanning is very important to the process of video development. If you can develop a script and storyboard, and an idea about the story you want to tell, then this process can go very quickly. A little work at the beginning will save you $$ by the end of the project.

Step Two: (event and execute)

I arrive early and get to work per our schedule and stay on schedule. I will work to deliver your project on time. If need, I will sacrifice a deadline for a quality product at little to no additional cost to you. This, again, is where the planning comes in!

Step Three: (reveal and choices)

You will view the final project draft, either face to face, or online. I will gather your suggestions and/or corrections and update the project until you love it. Your approval and satisfaction are very important to me.

Step Four: (share and enjoy)

You will receive your video and post it to your website!!  You may also order extra copies on different media at anytime after receiving your final video.

Step Five: (evaluate and improve)

I want to do better. You can help me with that! I will ask you to evaluate my process and product.

Pricing:

Video projects are estimated based on development, planning, shooting and editing time. Some projects will be more involved than others.

Simple Projects (Level I):
I consider a simple project to be a short finished video of around a minute. Simple single camera capture, dialogue, music, and minimal editing. This type of project can be completed in 3 to 7 days. Simple projects begin at $400.00. Typically this project can be shot in a couple of hours. Editing and final project approval may take a week.

More Complicated Projects (Level II):
I consider Level II projects to be videos from 1 to 5 minutes requiring two or more cameras and therefore more editing, dialogue, and music. I expect most projects to be here – shooting, editing, and price wise. This type of project may require additional assistance with, conceptualization, scripting, and informational or testimonial interviews. Level II project may require a week or more to edit and assemble. These projects start at $2500.00 based on two cameras and a day of shooting and 3 to 10 days of editing. For Level II projects lasting a couple of weeks, expect an estimate of near $3500.00.

More Complicated still (Level III):
Level III projects are basically the same as level II projects but may require additional editing or special effects. Addition personnel may be required to complete these projects. With additional personnel and additional editing, come the expense of additional time to produce your project. These projects as well as any project are priced based on the requirements of the project.

Consulting:

If you are not ready to move forward, or you want to do it yourself with a bit of help, I do that too. While I can’t advise you on best business practices, I can help you get a video on your site that is quality, on message, and cost effective. I can advise regarding scripting, storyboard, image creation, and the creative process. My consulting services are billed hourly at $150.00. I do one time phone consulting on projects for free. Use the Contacts page to tell me about your project. I will bounce you back my contact information with a suggested contact time, and we’ll go from there – problem solved.

Fundraising, Community Service, and Church Organizations:

Bam! Digital Media is built on Christian principles. I am compelled to give back and contribute to our local churches, community, and to worthy causes. I can present flexible pricing or other agreements for individuals or groups involved in these organizations and efforts. Contact me and let’s work together on something great.
