Event Video Services

Promotional video production, realistically, covers almost everything that Event Video Services do. A good video clip will always help to promote you, but there are a few delivery methods which can be used to maximise the impact.

Podcasting, YouTube, MySpace, DVDs, plasma screens and video adverts are all ways that one single clip can be distributed, making the most of the work done. Below are a few specific scenarios in which a client benefits from our promotional video services; of course any combination of the examples can be used:

• A series of podcasts featuring footage of a car show. The video promotes the event holder and their sponsors. Being a podcast it is easily found by viewers and as a result the event becomes more known, the sponsor is delighted with the higher profile and resulting coverage. Any press coverage can be backed up with the podcast – when a viewer goes to the website address printed in the article there is a link to download the podcasts.

• A mountain bike event is broadcast live on the internet as a show. The footage of the riders is mixed with interviews and other clips, as well as sponsor adverts. After the event a quick turnaround ensures that a whole series of clips are made into a podcast which can be downloaded onto iPods and mobile phones. In addition a DVD is made and handed out free with a top mountain biking magazine.

• A charity fashion show held at a premiere venue – the cameras are there to capture the action and display it live on the plasma screens. The audience feel the ‘wow factor’ of seeing the action on the screens as well as in person. A podcast and DVD are created after the event; the podcast increases the awareness of the charity and the venue, whilst the DVD is sold to the attendees to raise more money for the charity. The venue play the DVD on their plasma screens to promote themselves and the venue as a place to hold future events!

You know that you offer a great service that your clients are happy with but how do you convey that to someone who has just found your website and has never heard of your company? A written testimonial is better than nothing, but the common perception is that most testimonials are made up! Video testimonials immediately remove the sceptical response to their written counterparts as the person is clearly seen to be confirming the reference of the individual or company to the viewer. A video testimonial created by Event Video Services will display your professionalism and enhance your reputation to any potential clients who visit your website.

In the online world, where patience and attention span is thin on the ground, this sets your company apart from the rest and gives you the edge over your competitors.

For your convenience there is no need for your client to come to our studio as we can go to them, saving a lot of time and expense for both parties. Being onsite ensures your clients will take the necessary time out for filming.

Event Video Services will not compromise on the integrity of our video testimonials by giving a script to an actor to read. All of our clips are delivered only by customers and clients of the company commissioning the clip.

Why would you want to promote your event using video? Video footage is without doubt the best medium to use in this scenario as it adds excitement and flair to any sales message and is more dynamic than just text on its own as it will set the scene up perfectly for the viewer. Your sponsors will have no doubt that their branding is being promoted professionally, which will help to convince them that your event deserves more investment!

We film all sorts of events from weddings and funerals (some friends of the deceased lived abroad) to marathons, music and conferences.

We create a memory of life’s treasured moments that pass all too quickly. This is achieved by creating a uniquely personal service for you and our endeavours result in the production of stunning, well planned out images for your endless enjoyment. Our aspiration is to retain you as lifelong clients, capturing your special moments at every stage of development. We will do everything in our power to make your experience a happy and hassle free one. We want to leave you a product which is exactly what you envisioned, wanting to use us again and again in the future, happy to recommend us to your associates, family and friends.

We make the most important day of your life last forever!

Our aim is to make interesting videos that will entertain anyone – not just the family and people who were at the wedding. If it is going to be there to watch forever it had better look (and sound) good!

Event Video Services can provide combined video and photographic coverage of your wedding. This ensures that you do not have two separate companies getting in the way of each other!

Rather than offer set packages, we cater entirely for the clients’ needs. At the end of the day it is your wedding and it is up to you how it will be remembered!

A very popular addition to the standard filming of ceremony, speeches and first dance is a video montage set to music. The montage is composed of brief clips of your friends and family taken throughout the day.

Our wedding video production services produce the best results as we approach each project in a way that will make sure your video stands out from the rest.

The DVD format is widely recognised and used by the majority of people these days, making it the ideal way to reach less technical viewers. The familiarity of the medium makes it an ideal way to send a message or to inform the viewer through video.

DVD is also the standard way of showing video on plasma screens or projectors at venues and events. It’s a fact that a video screen always grabs the attention of those within viewing range. Our advice would be that you are definitely missing a trick if you are not using this medium to promote your company or services!

Podcasting is a great way to promote your brand and reach new customers for a fraction of the cost of traditional TV and radio advertising. By providing content which is of value (informative/entertaining) to the viewer the job of marketing is mostly done as the viewer will find the content themselves! Of course the more promotion your clips receive the more viewers you will reach.

EVS will handle your podcasting requirements from start to finish, including the hosting of the clips.

The most popular podcast directory, iTunes, makes it very easy to search thousands of video and audio clips to find what you are looking for. Most podcasts have a sponsor (a newspaper, company, nightclub etc), and many will utilize a famous personality or popular event to attract viewers and increase awareness. Good results can, however, be achieved on a tighter budget if thought is given to the target audience, objectives of the podcast and time is spent on the finishing and presentation.

TimesOnline sponsors a series of vodcasts in which Gordon Ramsay talks through a number of recipes – a new one released each week. A lot of reviewers have slated this vodcast for the poor standard of filming but the content is certainly there. It promotes the Times as a brand, it’s online section, and the fact that they print a new recipe by Gordon Ramsay every Tuesday, just a shame it hadn’t been done a bit better!

The processor manufacturer Intel uses vodcasts very successfully. Consumer and Enterprise Communications Manager, Bill Kircos quotes on vodcasting being ‘a way to place a more emotional face on a company or brand’. The company runs a number of podcasts promoting their products and events, using clips of speeches and interviews, often filmed at shows.

Most events (music, sports, arts etc) will benefit from promotion by podcasting when professionally produced and promoted properly. Event Video Services specialise in making high quality promotional video clips for the internet. Give us a call for more information and details.

A more effective and flexible approach to training!

There is a now an easy to use, cost-effective solution – Interactive training videos. Now your staff can train the flexible way – by watching video clips on your existing intranet site or DVD. They can choose only the parts relevant to them and can go back over a section again if need be. If required you can include a testing option where the trainees are tested on what they have just learned. With a system like this your staff can be trained any time that suits your timeline!

An added bonus is the ability to go back over points as the need arises. If a staff member is about to start using a system that is new to them, but they did the training last month, it’s easy to refresh their memory by going directly to the clip covering that specific point – just select it from the training menu. This helps to eradicate mistakes, reduce time wasting and will therefore save you money!

…of course it is not just training videos there’s lots more scope to choose from – a video of a product launch on your intranet will help to keep sales staff abreast of progress in the company. A clip of a staff day out will raise spirits and morale.
