Corporate video production is our passion.

A corporate video is about you, your company, and the product your company produces.

Do not compromise on the quality of the video – the video represents your message and the company’s image.

Have you ever watched a video that lost your attention half way through?

That video did not do the job correctly.

A video needs to be able to hold your attention throughout. It needs to captivate its audience with a clear and interesting story, high production values, and a creative presentation.

What does video cost per minute?

You cannot price video by the minute.

We can shoot and edit you talking for an hour which would not be as expensive compared to shooting and editing a 60-second montage of footage from Paris, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.

If anybody talks about video pricing based on length run away.

What does a video need to do?

A video needs to tell a story.

Our background in film and our highly trained film production crew ensure that the story is communicated to the highest possible standard.

We will invest your budget into the highest possible production value for your money.

We make sure that your video production will match your company images, branding and quality.

With today’s saturation of videos through social networking and communication websites its difficult to reach your audience.

You are in competition with an endless stream of communication from YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and iPhone videos. All of these videos are competing for your attention of your viewer.

How can you stand out from the crowd?

By presenting a high quality and cinematic video you can directly engage your viewers.

Real craft, attention, and creativity will grab the attention of your market.

Templates and boring traditional video and film production will kill the creativity, message, and branding of your company.

Factory made videos without a soul do not get the message across.

We make video like we make film: our crew is trained in film production and we apply the same technology and techniques to our video production.

The high quality of our videos, with their cinematic look and feel, will elevate your message above those of other lower production videos.

Producing the highest quality product for your budget is the best investment of your money.

Seven Pictures created and produced a new high quality TV Ad / Commercial for American Bullion dramatizing a thought-provoking situation.

The main challenge for this particular production was creating a concept for the Television Commercial that would serve as a call to action rather than being another gold infomercial.

American Bullion the Client

After researching competitors, we noticed the different companies all had the same flavor to their TV Spots. They all came off as short infomercials based on green screen technology. Seven Pictures needed to figure out a way to elevate American Bullion away from those standard cheesy acts.

What's Really In Your Retirement Account

The competition was full of men yelling, “Buy now! Invest in gold!” Instead of giving off a demanding impression like those of their competitors, this TV Ad had to jump start people’s thoughts and promote awareness.

Money Shoot "Unstable Dollar"

The purpose of the commercial is to inform the public about the unstable value of the dollar and the security of investing in gold and other precious metals.

Online video is one of the most significant components in the transformation of how media is received by the public today. Never before has business information been so readily available to the consumer with such web accessibility. With this technological evolution, it is absolutely vital for your business to understand the benefits of marketing techniques such as the use of online video and its application in order to grow, advance and surpass the competition.

Here are three basic types of online video you should know about and how they can help you today.

Conversion Video – This type of video is found on a business website’s homepage and its intention is to engage visitors, introduce the company or give desired information to an audience in a captivating way. The idea is to capture visitors’ attention which equals more time spent on your business’ website, a greater chance of gaining a client, and thereby a greater chance of increasing profits.

Educational Video – As the name suggests, educational videos aim to educate an audience about services offered, goals and missions of your business or anything else considered significant and compelling enough for a visitor’s view. A great aspect of educational videos is that it can help establish trust between the client and your enterprise as well as inform that yours is a business with innovative ideas. You can use educational videos as a chance to develop credibility behind whatever product you’re offering the consumer, giving them a reason to choose you over a competitor.

Viral Video – Viral videos differ from other forms of video because they are found outside of the business website and are intended to gain viewership and popularity through internet sharing, e.g., social media and email. Because you want this kind of video shared as much as possible, it necessitates that it be of particular interest to a viewer, perhaps having some sort of entertainment value. However the end goal for viral videos is to be used for promotional and marketing purposes with the objective of getting embedded in numerous sites, optimizing your chance of reaching a broader audience.

Try out these suggestions for ways in which video can benefit your enterprise today, and be sure to contact Seven Pictures Film to successfully utilize online video to its full advantage!

After many surveys revealing the statistics of online video production consistently increasing each month, there is no doubt that video production has become a competitive field.

The demand for video production is increasing every month. We live in a face-paced world, and any form of convenience is utilized. Companies are always desperately in search for ways to multitask in order to keep up with the “on-the-go” mentality, and not fall behind.

New technology (Smartphones, iPads and iPhones, et cetera) not only allows elements of video, but new devices encourage the use of video. Due to the rise of video usage, people are becoming more comfortable with the idea of video. New devices advocate the use of video communication, which allows individuals to get accustomed to the convenience of audio and visual imagery, instead of text. Not only is video a convenient form of communication, but viewers are also able to retain information better through seeing and hearing, opposed to simply reading a piece of information. Therefore, with these new handheld devices, video content is rising rapidly and calls for creativity. As experienced professionals at Seven Pictures, we are aware of the competitive field; we are willing to work with you to create inventive ideas in order to achieve your company’s goals and can guarantee satisfaction.

According to Forbes article, “iPad: One of the Most Successful Products Ever,”

“The iPad now accounts for over one percent of worldwide web browsing – and in the US, that figure jumps to 2.1 per cent. For a product that’s only just over 14 months since first release that is an astonishing share of the global Internet market to have captured.”

With that said, take advantage of the opportunity and available technology to expand your business outreach, marketing, and create reinvigorated content for your business with video!

Seven Pictures produced a series of instructional and informative videos to be featured in a business application (app) for iPad. The app was developed to function cohesively as a guided hearing test and a consumer database. The video material consists of: a welcoming introduction to the hearing test, step-by-step video instruction, and additional information regarding the test results and options for further care. These segments were filmed in three separate series. The client requested that the video content be available in three different accents: American, British and Australian.

This is another approach to using video for iPad. Businesses can upload videos and presentations to the iPad device itself using a media library, or there is the option of featuring video in an application developed specifically for your company. However, this particular app is not meant to promote the client, Spinach Effect, in fact it is their product. Video enhances the app by adding substantial content with a delivery that holds the user’s attention.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

The pre-production planning was communicated long distance via email and phone contact. With the information provided by the client in regards to the desired project, Seven Pictures was able to coordinate and execute a successful production targeting those essential needs. When the production day finally arrived, the client and talent flew overseas to shoot with Seven Pictures. This particular production was shot in a sound stage studio. Seven Pictures wrapped the day with another satisfied client and successful production.

A recent revolutionary trend that has captured the technology world by storm is Apple’s iPad. The iPad phenomenon is fairly young, making its debut in April 2010, but the iPad became an instant hit selling 3 million gadgets within their first month! Youthful or not, this product already shows signs of becoming an industry giant.

The birth of the iPad increased the use and popularity of interactive applications, commonly known as “apps.” The benefit behind these apps rests in their capability to be accessed without the need of a web connection. This is a great opportunity to share your company videos, in or out of the office!

These apps combined with the ipad, work as an amazing tag team for businesses. The actual iPad itself is portable and conveniently designed. It’s a thin, touch-screen, and lightweight mobile device. This means you can represent video within your business, as well as carry company videos wherever you go.

Make an impression! Imagine conducting a meeting with a potential buyer or executives using your sleek touch-screen iPad. With this, you guide them through a tour of your company’s video library. You are able to conveniently and quickly access video presentations, commercials, training videos, promotional videos, product videos, you name it.

The best part of it all is that instead of having your clients sit through a Powerpoint presentation, their attention will be focused on an attractive video made with cinematic quality. Your clients, employees and other staff members can also have your company videos on their personal iPad or iPhone for even more individualized access, always having company material available at hand.

If having an app doesn’t appeal to you, another option is to share videos remotely using the iPad, as videos from your website can still be shared via the Internet. Seven Pictures guarantees professional video production with a cinematic look, and with the introduction of Apple’s iPad, now we have another phenomenal tool to help you advance your business and impress future clients. If you would like Seven Pictures to help offer you direction in your next corporate video endeavor utilizing the iPad, call us today! We would love to hear from you and offer any guidance possible.

Lights, camera, action… Uh, where are the lights?

On March 27th, 2010, the fourth annual Earth Hour took place between 8:30 and 9:30, in whatever time zone you happened to be in. What this means is that you turn off your lights for an hour to show your support for global sustainability.

A call for environmental awareness, Earth Hour has been recognized in almost 90 countries around the world, and one of the locales that honors this annual event is LAX. My crew and I were there at LAX to document the moment. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Attention: AC

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible job you did on the Los Angeles Universal Preschool fundraising video production. Our mandate was not a simple one, yet you navigated the multiple layers of needs and wishes to produce an engaging, sharply produced and effective video.

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

Your personal vision and ability to tell our story was what impressed us the most. You were able to express our core mission by listening to our families, providers and to the community that we serve, and by allowing them to express what it is about LAUP that makes a difference in their lives and in the lives of their children. You carefully balanced the many testimonials with riveting footage, clever montages and voiceovers. On a creative level, you helped to show the warmth and humanity of our CEO, COO and all of our spokespeople through great backdrops, camera angles and lighting.

The initial response to the video has been one of excitement and pride both internally and in our community, The LAUP story is finally being told with Los Angeles County as the context and our families, stakeholders and advocates as our spokespeople.

We look forward to working with you in the future, AC. We plan on creating shorter versions of the video and possibly exploring video news releases or other channels of distribution for our visual message. I offer my heartfelt thanks to you and your team and please do not hesitate to use my name as a reference at any time; it would be my pleasure.

Warmly,
Eva Brune
Communications Specialist, Los Angeles Universal Preschool

The purpose of this financial crisis is to take down the United States and the U.S. dollar as the stable datum of planetary finance and, in the midst of the resulting confusion, put in its place a Global Monetary Authority—a planetary financial control organization to “ensure this never happens again.”
