At Bangshock we regard the collaborative process we build with our clients as a true value partnership. Our commitment to you is to form a cohesive relationship to develop innovative projects. These video projects will involve building or enhancing your brand or identity by creating an effective strategy that defines your vision and targets clear objectives that captivate and engage your audience.

We typically take every video project through a five stage development process.
1. Discovery – The initial meeting with the client that involves information gathering, research and understanding of goals and objectives. A general script or outline is provided by the client. What is the purpose of your video; do you need an event, training, visual effects or promotional video, etc?

2. First Draft of the script is presented; edits are made and the script is structured to the clients approval for Final Draft, before video production.

3. Production; Shooting begins, clients are encouraged to attend and not only observe but to contribute suggestions if needed and be assured the shoot is staying true to form of the Final Draft.

4. Post Production; Consists of a Rough Edit Version of the first cut in an almost completed format showcasing the original conception minus color correction, sound mixing, audio (and visual graphics if necessary). At this stage of the video, it is shown to the client for approval of direction and any required edits can take place to stay true to script.

5. Final Cut; The video is presented in its complete and final version ready for output and use.

BANGSHOCK offers a variety of specialized services in video production and photography assignments and yes we include packages with customizable options.

Certain video productions and photography assignments differ from each other and depend on what your needs are. For example if you are requesting coverage of an Event such as a Wedding, Gala or Trade Show we have different photography and video packages to suit your budget and needs including customization. Some events or productions can be small in scope and time required to capture footage or images, we can better accommodate your requirements by conducting a consultation to decide which package suits your project.

By doing so we can then determine the logistics of the production such as: single or multiple camera operators, a crew and exactly what the correct professional video and lighting equipment we need to get the job done properly and efficiently. From here we need to know the extent of the project before we take it into post-production, how much and if any: graphics, visual effects and editing footage or images come into play.

Other services we provide for Video Production are:

For Event Photography we offer a Moving Image Showcase service:
A Moving Image Showcase is a captivating selection of edited video. It combines the intent of the maker with the experience of the viewer and of the subject. It is a frozen moment, open to interpretation. Still images are compelling, in part, because they allow us the opportunity to participate in them.

A Fusion with an assortment of photography stills, audio, video and visual effects.
With the emphasis on still photography, we combine the audio of the event with clips of moving pictures, to tell the whole story.

Other Photography services offered:

This is all based on what your goals are for the video or photography assignment which provides us with the details we need to assess your project and quote. There is a difference in the way we price and the way we assemble a video or photography project which is based on it’s purpose. Do you need a video to cover an Event or a Promotional Web Video with Visual Effects to launch your company or product? These are the main factors that determine the cost between the two purposes and services.

Your basic Event Video Package with the minimal requirements can average $118 per hour.

A large scale corporate video can even be lower in hourly rates but requires a longer time period to complete. This is because of the initial development process and production demands.

Other factors considered in the logistics of video and photography production that contribute to evaluating cost are: number of cameras, lighting kits, production crew, technicians. In Post-production : visual effects, photo and video manipulation, color correcting sound engineering, music or audio, which all help determine the final cost of the project.
