How to choose a video production company

Video is the fast-growing form of content in today’s digitally-driven world. As a result, YouTube is the second biggest search engine globally if you consider their users, searches and minutes spent on the site. The craze around video content steadily grows, making it a perfect time for companies to leverage this fastest content form. But to make the most of your video content, you need expert help. 

A professional video production company will help you create great video content fitting your timelines, budget and goals. What keeps many companies back is the concern of spending huge dollars on a service provider that does not deliver on results. But if you research closely and understand the backdrop, finding a good service provider is not a challenging task. Please find below a few key things to consider while choosing a video production company. 

Count on their experience 

When considering experience, do not necessarily limit yourself to the number of years you have been in the industry. The proper context of experience goes beyond the number of years. It includes the quality of work, the type of clients served, their clients’ results, etc. 

See their work 

When judging quality and results, look at their sample work. A professional video production company should have an updated portfolio demonstrating their successful recent work with links to published sources, if any. See their messaging, scene sequencing, lighting, resolution, settings etc., to gather some clarity. 

Ask what’s their niche.

Many video production companies work in specialized niches; some do drone videos better, others specialize in live broadcasting videos, etc. Make sure to ask about their niches and choose a company that has previously worked on your industry and niche. 

Does this company listen to you?

Have a pre-written list of your questions to ask and see how efficiently they respond to you. A professional service provider should pay close attention to your needs and provide meaningful answers. They may not be experts at everything, but still, they should provide genuine solutions and clear direction. 

Evaluate their process 

Ask what their process looks like. You do not want to work with a company that delays work or sets unrealistic expectations. You do not want to hire a service provider that charges way higher than the market standard for the same level of quality. Understand their process clearly, starting from requirement gathering to delivery. Whatever process they follow, stronger and clear communication and an urge to deliver high-quality work should drive their work. 

You can create a list of companies to approach and compare them based on key parameters before working with one. Seek recommendations from people in the industry and your acquaintances. You can Google search or explore local business directories to find a preferred video production company.
