Professional videotaping and movie-creation services at various levels. Go in to their studios to make a short recording, or create an entire series. Get the raw files or request help with the final production. We've found these folks to be professional, deliberate, responsive, and not overbearing. Great low-budget offerings!

TL,DR: Found perfect fit: cost, quality, timeframe, happy!

Our team at Cookpanion became GNY members last December. We knew we wanted to create videos to show off our product and user success stories, but we only had a few rough ideas of what we wanted to make. Only one person on our team had ever done video production before. We all knew video conversion rates were really high, and that this could be the foundation of our small marketing effort. We wanted 6-12 videos to tell the whole story, and a way to version them for more emphasis throughout the year.

After reaching out for bids to 10 of the "Best Seattle Video Producers", we realized the price per video was going to be in the 7.5k-15k range with anywhere from a few $100 to a few $1000 for our idea about versioning the videos, and adding some graphics etc. Well this quickly jumped out of scope for us so we spent the whole month talking to freelancers, and trying to do it ourselves, but we were wasting too much time and energy.

Then Ian C reached out to my coworker over LinkedIn saying they had some end of year membership deals. Coworker said it sounded like exactly what we were looking for, which is hilarious, because the day before I had decided we should all stop looking and backburner the project for a bit.

Why they get 5-stars in my book!
1) The customer service was fast, and actually helpful.
2) Membership got us 6 product videos, a custom intrographic, music, screencapture, greenscreen testimonials, background image, and graphical callouts.
3) It was roughly $700 per video (after tax). Freelancers were more expensive at around $1k per video.
4) They turned around each video in a week.
5) Their membership gave us 12 hours of consulting/practice time with their producers to talk about script, storyboarding, how to prepare to be on camera, which was really the gamechanger.
6) The studio wasn't flashy or expensive. It had everything but was still startup, funky, cool. My boss liked that.
7) Also it was a mile away from our offices, near the pike place market.
8) The videos we made were great. We didn't need a $15k creative piece, we needed something simple, but with better quality than the lighting and sound we could do in our offices.
9) Best of all, our 6 customers who provided the testimonials in studio had a good time.
10) Also, the clients who were in studio before us were like Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks so that was reassuring and a bit impressive. I guess no one can do it cheaper in house, haha.

Anyhow, I thumbs up them. Much recommending. Ask for Ian, Eric, Troy, or Jeff.

Cheers,
