Q: You seem to make a point of emphasizing that you use Digital Video, why does that make a difference?
A: We could spend days giving you the answer to this question, but the bottom line is with the use of Digital Video you receive the most flexibility, variety of choice and highest quality within a reasonable budget. With the use of Digital Technology a project can easily morph from traditional video to CDROM - DVD - internet streaming.
Q: Why choose video rather than traditional print?
A: It's rarely an either/or situation. However, we do know that video done in conjunction with print can breathe new life into existing one-dimensional collateral.
Q: We are a nonprofit, how can video benefit us?
A: Imagine the powerful impression made if you have those whose lives you've changed share their own stories in their own words with their own passion...On camera? What if your board of directors, potential benefactors and volunteers could see and hear the results for themselves?
Q: Are you capable of producing broadcast quality material for television programming and commercials?
A: Definitely. In fact we have won numerous national awards for our television productions. |

Q: Government agencies and nonprofits have strict budget limitations, often combined with internal regulations or criteria. Is it realistic to expect a quality production at a reasonable cost? (Bluntly stated: will you blow my budget for the entire fiscal year?)
A: The beauty of Digital Video is the high level of quality and creativity that can be achieved for a fraction of what film production costs. Never Give Up media group has the capability to shoot and edit in-house, keeping cost amazingly reasonable. We work hard and encourage client involvement and planning on the front end-eliminating costly surprises in post production.
Q: What is a reasonable turn-around time for an average project?
A: In reality, there is no 'average' project. However a 10-15 minute production is a popular choice and can go from conception-completion in as little as 30-60 days. On the flip side we've had projects grow, change and evolve into major productions taking a much longer time to complete. It's all about what works for you.
Q: Who owns the footage once complete?
A: You do. Actually, we maintain the master copies and raw footage in our library for our clients' future duplication or re-editing needs. It's not unusual for us to receive requests to use archived footage from past projects to create new ones. Here again is one of the ways Digital Video can yield added value i.e.: special effects, enhance and improve past video or still images, sound, voice over and much more. |

“Be The Change You Want To See In The World”
Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. used this phrase to explain what any of us can do to make the world a better place in which to live. When anyone chooses to “Be The Change...We all benefit.
To support this philosophy and help it grow, we have developed a program called BE THE CHANGE. We donate our services to community organizations that could use our help. This includes the production of an abbreviated DVP that will explain what they do and why they do it. We digitally format the production so it can be placed on their website and viewed by potential volunteers and donors.
If you know of a nonprofit or community organization in need of our services let us know. If they meet our guidelines we will include them in our BE THE CHANGE program. (925) 565-4077 ask for David |
