What we can do for you.
At Brougham Media, our goal is to provide professional video production, with a personal commitment to quality. We feel that even though your business–and our business, for that matter–is located in northern Michigan, that you deserve a level of service, value, and artistry that you might not expect to find here. In fact, this is a major part of our mission: we bring a local focus to your marketing and advertising with capabilities you often have to go to larger cities to find.
We recognize that there are many different things tugging at your pocketbook, and that these days, your advertising dollars need to go farther than they ever have before. Instead of looking at it as an expense, think of a commercial, promotional or informational video as an investment in your business’s image and your livelihood. We’re your customers, too, and we want to see you succeed, and communicating your message clearly and effectively is the best way to do just that.
There are many ways to use video as a part of your business’s or organization’s marketing plan:
- broadcast television commercials
- promotional and informational DVDs
- training and instructional videos
- website videos
- corporate slideshows and presentations
- live event coverage
- personal histories and tributes
- documentary programming
So, what goes into creating each of these video projects? Good question! Read on to find out more…
Video Production
We take capturing your image seriously. Using only professional-level equipment, the footage for your video is captured using a broadcast video camera capable of shooting in standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD).
Additionally, we use a range of other tools like professional audio equipment, lighting and support gear, portable green screen/chromakey backdrops, lens adapters and more. When we’re on-site for your video shoot, we’re working efficiently and effectively with all of this equipment at our disposal, and creating some images that will knock your socks off.
Just need footage? No problem–the footage we shoot can be saved immediately on to a portable hard drive and archived or edited at your leisure. Of course, we hope you’ll consider us for that part of your project, as well.
Post-Production
We’ve got a boatload of stunning images, compelling interviews, and moving testimonials–now what? All that material comes back to the shop and is loaded into our Adobe Creative Suite editing systems. There, along with any other footage, photos, graphics, animations, music and more, we begin to work a little magic to mold these bits and pieces into a cohesive story.
Our editing suite is capable of handling just about every video, audio, and graphic format available, so if you already have your footage, we can help you assemble it. You’ll find that our rates are reasonable, our turnaround times are fast, and most importantly, our work is professional.
Whether it’s a 30-second television commercial, or a twelve-hour training video spanning five DVDs, we’ve got the chops to handle your project.
Graphics and Animation
If your project needs logos, supporting graphics, and eye-catching animations, we can help. Using industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects, we can develop clean, communicative graphics and then set them in motion.
Whether it’s branding your business, explaining your products, or just providing some extra oomph to your image, you’ll find that our designs do the job and then get out of the way.
DVD Authoring and Production
A DVD is a cost-effective, high-quality way of getting your video to where it can be most effective: in the hands of your potential customers. DVDs are excellent for longer promotions, instructional or training videos, and events, or for any project where having additional promotional materials in conjunction with your video is necessary.
We offer professional DVD authoring services, from simple looping DVDs for expos and trades shows, to much more interactive designs. And, we can accommodate any number of DVD copies, from a handful to hundreds. Put a digital business card in your client’s hands today!
Web Video
The Internet is fast becoming the de facto distribution method for compelling video communication. With potential audiences of millions, and far lower distribution costs than any other medium, including a high-quality video on your website is a smart move for your marketing plans.
Our experience with web video will assure that your website visitors will be greeted with an eye-grabbing visual presentation, and we can help you integrate your promotional video or commercial with the design of your website. And, if you’re using popular online services like YouTube or Facebook, we can help release your video there as well, with a level of quality that will guarantee that your visitors and fans take notice.
