Frequently Asked Questions
How can a video help my organization?
Whether you’re selling a product, a service or an image, video is a powerful tool for reaching your audience. With a combined visual and verbal message, your message is 70% more memorable on video than in print alone.
How long does it take to produce a video?
In general, the process takes about 8-12 weeks (but then again we have done videos in 2 weeks). Much depends on the length of the project, as well as you and your timetable. Once we meet with you to assess your communications needs, LSP can give you a budget and a timeframe.
What is the process for creating a video with LS Productions?
There are four basic stages to completing your video:
- Pre-production and creative
- Scripting (if necessary)
- Production/videotaping
- Post-production/editing
The first step is to hold an informational meeting with you where we will learn everything we can about your organization, your objective in making the video, your target audience, and how and where your audience will view this video. Following this initial meeting, LSP can give you a budget and a timeframe.
How much does a video cost?
Every video we produce is customized and unique, so production costs vary widely according to the style of the program and the time spent writing, shooting and editing the final product. (To use an analogy, how much does a car cost? Well...it depends). We determine costs by discussing your needs in detail, and putting together a line-item budget for you.
What does this cost include?
Production costs include everything from initial research and concept development to scriptwriting, shooting, makeup, editing, graphics, music and narration. Not included is any high-volume dubbing of DVDs.
Is it possible to pay in "installments"?
Yes. We request 50% of the production cost at the time you agree to the video, a monthly amount thereafter and the balance upon delivery of the finished program.
How does LSP differ from other production companies?
LSP offers many benefits over other production companies.
What format of video do I need to shoot to get the best quality?
There are many formats available to shoot on today from HD to Betacam SP to DV CAM. It all depends on your end use.
In terms of delivery formats, LSP can supply you with a video file to use on the web and DVDs.
Can I put my video on the Internet?
Absolutely!
Can I see a sample of your work?
Yes. On our online streaming video page.
