Things to Look For in a Video Production Company

June 18, 2021

 Trying to decide which video production company to work with can be a tricky process.


There are different qualities that you have to take into consideration, from their work to their passion, and suitability to your brand. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re in good hands.


We’ve created this list of qualities to look for to help you choose which one would best fit your needs.


Creativity

If a video production company is going to give you a memorable and effective video, then they need an abundance of creativity . Creativity is the lifeblood of any agency. It’s all about the ability to come up with unique and inspiring ideas is invaluable to any business.


To determine how creative an agency is, have a look at the case studies they’ve posted on their website and see if any of their approaches are what you’re looking for for your business.


Passion

Creativity alone isn’t enough to make a video company worth hiring. They also need passion for their work . A good agency can create videos that get the message across in a colourful and vibrant way, but a great agency will try and push the boundaries in any way they can to enhance the content they produce.


This can include using new styles and filming techniques to try and make their video stand out, which is something you can check by reviewing their portfolio.


Strong Portfolio of Work

One of the most important things you need to look at is their track record . Reviewing their portfolio and any client testimonials they’ve been given can also give you a good idea of what kind of agency they are.


Of course, if they’ve worked with a variety of clients across different industries and those clients have given them glowing testimonials, then it’s likely they will give you good results!


Timeliness

Another quality that any video company should have is timeliness . This not only includes reaching the pre-agreed deadlines but also responding to any inquiries you might have in a timely fashion.


A good way to tell if an agency respects your time before you’ve started working with them is by seeing how long it takes them to respond to your initial messages. 


Commitment to Clients

Your initial conclusions when choosing a video production company to work with might be that bigger agencies are the best option, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Smaller agencies are able to specialise more and give you a bespoke finished product.


Smaller agencies also come with the added benefit of charging less for work of a higher quality, and are able to provide you with a more personal and detailed customer service.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
