Do You Add Any Additional Fees To My Invoice After The Project Is Done?

No. SolidLine Media has a �Bottom Line� pricing structure. Whatever budget we agree to in the production agreement is the budget you will spend. If there are any additions due to production scope changes, we will discuss budget changes with you to ensure we have your approval.

Can We Use A Teleprompter For Testimonial Resposes?

We do not recommend using a teleprompter for anything other than direct-to-camera scripted videos. You may produce the content exactly the way you want to, but most people do not come across naturally when trying to read candid responses to questions from a teleprompter. It is better to be truly candid and real. Read more�

Can You Provide Video Files For Online Use?

Absolutely. We encode on a Digital Rapids system and can provide any file type for any occasion, including online use. We have optimized YouTube and Vimeo settings as well. Read more about encoding here.

How Long Does 'One Video Production Day' Mean?

A typical video production day is 10 hours long.

Should We Film Indoors Or Outdoors?

Depending on the subject matter, we like to have a variety of shots in our productions. If outdoor filming is possible, we need to take into consideration weather concerns as well as environment issues like loud sounds, or people that may be causing distractions in the background.

Why Should We Hire Solidline Media?

That�s easy! Because we are awesome! While that certainly is true, we do understand that finding a great fit is important in a production company. Take a look at our Why SolidLine page and learn about key SLM differentiators and why we are the right choice for you.

We Don't Have A Location To Film. Can You Find Us A Location? How Much Does That Cost?

Absolutely. Our Producer will work to source the best location(s) for filming. We work with film offices and location scouts when we need to find something very specific. Some locations like a home location can be secured for minimal budget, maybe only a few hundred dollars, but larger and challenging locations like a hospital ER may cost more.

Can We Film At Our Office Or Should We Use A Soundstage?

Depending on the project, we can absolutely film at your office. If we are featuring your company or product, then filming at your office or manufacturing facility is important. But if we need a more controlled environment for interviews or to build sets and create narrative scenes, then a soundstage is usually the best bet. We work with several local stages in Chicago and have relationships across the U.S. with stages so we can always find the best location to film your video production.

Do You Provide Scripts Writing Service Or Do We Have To Write Our Own Scripts?

SolidLine Media provides full scriptwriting and creative development services � just like the big agencies. We will learn about your business through production meetings, phone calls, and our creative brief. We do ask that our clients be prepared to provide us with as much content and information as possible so we can learn about your business and what is driving you to produce this video production.

Why Do We Need A Professional Hair And Makeup Artist?

If you are creating a narrative video with actors, or simply producing interview videos, it is always a great idea to have a professional hair and make-up artist. This will ensure that everyone in the video is looking their best. Reducing shine on bald heads, getting rid of hair flyaways, or just adding some color to brighten a face is all very important.

Top Industries That Could Benefit From Explainer Videos

If you’re like the majority of firms, your goal is to find new and innovative methods to market your items and services. Explainer videos can be a great way to reach more potential customers and promote your business in a fun and engaging way. Check out some of the top industries that could benefit from using explainer videos in their marketing campaigns.

Manufacturing

Explainer video production is a versatile marketing channel for modern manufacturing companies. Strategically-produced explainer videos help showcase the benefits of a new product and be presented at trade show booths. These videos give manufacturers opportunities to inject some image branding to build awareness. For example, they can talk about their company’s longevity, focus on customer satisfaction, unwavering commitment to quality, and more. A manufacturer’s explainer video may include filmed testimonials from longtime clients and employees carefully operating machinery, among others.

When it comes to producing manufacturing explainer videos, you don’t have to list all the details and specifications of your products. These videos need to be short and concise. Present a problem, deliver the solution, and explain how a product helps make customers’ lives easier. Be creative, entertaining, and don’t be afraid to provide a clear call to action.

Medical and Healthcare

Today, medical companies are increasingly using colorful healthcare explainer videos to elevate their businesses and educate a broader audience. For example, a healthcare company can create a video to explain how the COVID-19 virus attacks the human body, reactions on a molecular level, and how the pandemic impacted societies across the globe. The key benefit of these medical explainer videos is that the company does not need to hire real actors or actresses. SolidLine Media produces these high-end informative videos with motion graphics to get your point across. Alternatively, healthcare companies can explain how to use the online booking features on their websites through videos. It can be a step-by-step guide that shows viewers what buttons to press and what details to enter in a field. The possibilities are endless.

Computer Software and Internet

Although software and tech products have become part of our everyday lives, some customers are still hesitant to make a purchase when they do not fully understand the solution. This is where software explainer videos come into play. Software companies can showcase their solution’s capabilities and the problems they solve in an animated format. SolidLine Media can execute this at a professional level with smooth transitions between scenes.

As you can see, there are a number of industries that could benefit from explainer videos. If you’re in one of these industries, or if you’re looking for a way to increase sales and conversions on your website, consider investing in an explainer video. It could be the best decision you ever make. Do any of these top industries intrigue you? Are you ready to learn more about how explainer videos can help your business? Contact us at SolidLine Media today and we’ll be happy to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.
