Corporate & Commercial Video
Share new products and services with customers, keep employees engaged and informed, and reach potential supporters.
Narrative & Documentary Work
Inform and educate. I take care crafting editorial and narrative content that respects the viewer and never oversells itself.
YouTube & Social Media Content
Social media requires a committment. I will work with you to craft content campaigns that can help ensure long-term success.
Nothing Communicates Like Video
Short of being face to face, no medium can deliver a message more effectively than video. And, it's never been cheaper or easier to create video content that communicates clearly and engages viewers. But, hiring professionals to script, shoot, and edit can be daunting.
I want to help you through the process. Using simple but effective production methods, we can create something that will engage, enlighten, and maybe even entertain.
But beware, poorly produced content sends a message too. In the video above, I share my thoughts on the importance of maintaining high production value.
Scope of Services
A lot goes into producing professional video. My experience in a wide range of disciplines can help streamline the process by keeping many aspects of your project under one roof.
Scripting
The script is the foundation for your video. I can help you hone your ideas or work with you to come up with concepts from scratch.
Cinematography
From lighting to camera angles, lens selection to location, each aspect of the look and feel of your video is carefully considered.
Art Direction
Art direction not only includes attention to set dressing and wardrobe but also font selection and crafting of on-screen graphics.
Motion Graphics
My graphic design background helps me create simple animations and titles that increase understanding and reinforce your message.
Audio
A primary component of good video is good audio! I work with professional sound engineers and have access to licensed music libraries.
Editing
Efficiency in the editing suite is crucial. I edit in Final Cut Pro X, using the most recent plug-ins and color grading software.
“The Jackson Institute has worked with Matt for many years. He brings insight and energy to everything he does. Tasked with producing a year-end video targeting donors, he helped in all aspects of the production. From pre-production meetings to determine the scope of our message, through the scripting process, shooting the footage, and producing the final edit, we were comfortable and extremely pleased with the final result. Matt works efficiently and his attention to detail and desire to produce excellent work make him a pleasure to work with.”
