One of the best ways to help your brand engage with a broader audience is through video content. Videos (especially online videos) are accessible to everyone with an Internet connection, can be highly educational, and have more impact than most promotional tools.

Video is growing in importance for communicators. That means more clients want to use video, and those already using it want more of it.

In 2020, 92% of marketers say that video is an important part of their marketing strategy. This has grown from 78% in 2015, showing that the importance of video is only growing.

We’ve been producing digital media for non-profit organizations, corporations, NGOs and government agencies for years. Our staff Producer regularly works with communications professionals to help them realize their goals using animation, stock footage or by shooting

Maryland Public Television approached us earlier this year to produce a number of commercials for television and radio that would encourage Maryland residents to respond to the U.S. Census. Though this project was completed before social distancing was put in place, the approach we used is achievable even with everyone (Client, Producer, Editor, Voice Talent, Audio Engineer, etc.) working remotely.

Six seconds. What can you do with just six seconds? Our Editor/Animators know how to turn that precious six seconds (or: 15, or: 30) into a winning message that resonates. They know their way around web banners and short-form videos for social media too. We spoke with some of our political clients to hear in their own words why they work with us for digital media.

Great videos can be made from footage filmed on smartphones, but no matter how familiar we are with our phones, it can be challenging to film oneself in a flattering way.  Here are a few tips designed to make this task a little easier.

We want to assure you that we are fully operational during this difficult time.  We have business continuity plans in place such as teleworking and onsite operations with remote viewing for clients.  We are attempting to minimize in-person contact within our facility, and we appreciate your cooperation in doing so.

If you've ever visited our facility in the month of October, you know that we LOVE Halloween. This year, we were excited to be added to the parade route for a local elementary school. Kids from the Key School showed off their own costumes and enjoyed some candy while taking in our decorations. Special thanks to Renee Henninger for all the work she does to get us Halloween-ready each October.

Filming conferences or live events, no matter how (seemingly) simple or small requires a lot of detailed thinking.  You want to hire the right sized crew and give them the right gear and guidance so that the resulting footage is perfect for the video (or videos) you’re trying to make.  Let’s dive into the factors that affect these kinds of productions.

Video is expected to make up 82% of all internet traffic by 2021.  With the rise of video as a crucial component of social media strategies, more and more organizations are looking to increase their output of video content.  Finding a good video producer, one who understands how to communicate your message to your target audience, can be a challenge however.

While battling Leukemia, Mason Bronner dreamed up a team of superheroes and his wish was to see them come to life on the big screen.  Over the last nine months, a huge team worked hard to make Mason’s creative vision a reality.  Over $1,000,000 in time, services and gear was donated to make the film. It would end up being Make-a-Wish Mid-Atlantic’s 10,000^th wish, and it helped unite the D.C. production community in a common cause.
