Should you hire a professional video production company?
Wondering whether or not to outsource your video communications requirements?
There are lots of people who enjoy dabbling in video, and there are now many 'cheap and cheerful' tools out there that make it easier than ever to do it yourself. Almost anyone with a camera phone can now start making basic films.
In a way, this 'video democracy' is all good. User-Generated Content (UGC) by its very nature doesn't have to be slick and professional. Much of its appeal lies in its viral spontaneity, which can be great for recording live event phenomena or adding a down-to-earth touch. But is this method appropriate when communicating a concise business message for your brand?

Opening Up Space
In our latest film for Oxford Space we produced a short animated introduction.
The purpose was threefold:
- Gain the audience's attention during the crucial opening seconds of the video with vibrant motion graphics.
- Establish the demand from a commercial perspective with authoritative, scripted narration.
- Use symbolic imagery to create a stylistic distinction between the general market situation and what is offered by OSS.
