Where to get video production done?

by Andy Money
7 replies
Does anyone know a good place where I could outsource video production? I have a product I created I really need to get some instructional videos done for, but I lack the resources (i.e. film equipment, studio, etc.) I'm not looking to make the next Star Wars, just something simple and very casual. Any ideas?

    Your local college's film dept. may have students
    with the equipment and desire to create a good
    demo reel spot for a far smaller amount of $$$
    than you'd pay a typical studio or 3 camera crew
    to shoot an instructional series.

    Ideally, they'll be facile editors as shooting/acquisition
    is only part of the equation. The editing is what makes
    it something special...

    And before all else... somebody's got to WRITE a great
    storyboard.

    It's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of FUN putting a
    "real" video shoot together.

    Good luck with it!

        Hmmm, very good idea. It's a win-win for everyone involved. The great thing is all my friends are currently slaving away in college, so I have a lot of people I can contact.
