School Promo Video Companies?

[SpaceInvader83]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for any companies for promotional videos? You know the usual, bit of drone, sweeping shots of students doing 'exciting' experiments etc etc.

 

Thanks

I used Mole at a previous company and at the last school I was at

Do you have any local colleges around or near you?

 

Speak to them and they may offer a service using their media students as part of their project and it would probably be free of charge that's what we have done in the past, turned out very well in fact,

 

Its a couple of years old now but we have plans for a new one when our new school build has been completed, https://www.bishopbarrington.net/school/information/a-learning-journey

 

Cost was nothing and it has proved a boon from the schools point of view....

 

Just another way of cost management...

Affixxius - is the big one. Create the typical blockbuster style videos.

Bonjour School Photography - is a leader in photography and now do videos.

Loud Monkey - has been recommended to us but are not specifically schools

Look for a local shop that could work with you? Companies always want to break in to the education market and getting one customer can lead to others.

 

BUT, and it is a big but, I would say really think about what you want. How often do you, or people you know, sit and watch the classic 3 minute+ trailers for companies or products? These days it is more about short snippets, things that can be posted to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. So an alternative is get stock footage that can be used for different purposes and splice it together for a longer intro video, or get some action cams and create authentic footage within the school. Get the Head to talk about an upcoming event or the Head of PE to talk about the Rugby World cup and how it can relate to the school and their team.

 

Of course the issue with that is who does it, who has the time and how do you keep it fresh. That is up to the school.
