DVD Duplication

If you are doing a short-run ie. under 1000 units  you are better off going with DVD duplication because of faster turnaround times.  The DVD duplication process consists of burning the data onto the DVD disc. Digital print on the disc face for DVD duplication is a good option with a professional packaging option like a black DVD amaray case with a full colour insert. With custom packaging options a marketing DVD can create excellent results and get your message out in an efficient way. A DVD-R master is required for the DVD duplication process.

 DVD Replication

DVD Replication is your best bet when a large run is required. It is a more professional and robust process. A glass master is created and then replicated on a mass scale to fulfil your marketing needs. Depending on how many colours are in your artwork, colour films are created for the silkscreening process to get the image on the disc face.

Corporate Video Production

There are several toronto video production companies to choose from. The city has great resources and production facilities.  If you are planning on doing a video production in Toronto or the surrounding area; here are 3 things to look for in a good production company:

1. Creative Expertise – when searching for an experienced Toronto video production company to bring your vision to life you should start with their portfolio and experience. A forward thinking and experienced team will be able to strategize a fresh, well written script that will captivate, engage and inform. A good video production company will have professional, state of the art equipment and artists who will create a video that will leave an impression on your end audience.

2. Cost Effectiveness – the sensibility of the production team is crucial to making your video look great without paying a fortune. A good producer should have a good understanding of the subject matter and present viable and cost effective solutions to get a quality video production. Cosmetic value and effects should be used wisely since they can quickly increase your budget and aren’t always necessary. Every effect should have a motivation behind it.

3. Communication & Synergy – Communication on all levels is vital for a well produced video that effectively conveys the subject matter.  Go visit some video production companies in Toronto and see if they are able to see your vision and add to it. Feeling comfortable with your creative team is key and being able to build upon it is up to synergy and good chemistry. After all, not everyone can work together, so the team is crucial to a well produced video production.

Video Production Shoot

We start by finding the message with an emotional pull that will inevitably leave an impression on the end audience.  The conceptualization process can be very involved, so we like to guide and educate our clients through creative development.  We start by breaking down the provided information accompanied with further research to distill the message into concise sound bites that will present a clear message.  Once the story is found and broken down, we get approval from the client before proceeding to the next step of creating detailed storyboards and animatics.  The creative process is demanding and we love to work closely with the client in order to meet their ultimate vision.

The storyboards and animatic’s give the client a clear idea of what the final project will look like before production begins.  This allows fine tuning of the story development process in pre-produciton before heading into the production phase.  A well thought out pre-produciton will result in less complications in production.  Once the creative and story  has been approved, VCM can begin full production, whether it be a video production, 2D/3D animation, motion graphics or a multimedia web application.  Once production has commenced,  a rough edit or a test interface of the project is created for client approval.  At this stage we work with the client to make sure the edit and/or multimedia interface meets their satisfaction and make changes accordingly.  Brand integrity and recognition is very important, so we are sure to incorporate and create as many supporting branding elements that are needed ie. packaging, logo design, logo animation, video intros/show opens, motion graphics, motion titles and menus.

The client is kept in the loop during during all stages of production ensuring that the client’s vision is being met and every small detail is being taken care of.  As a result, an environment of trust and understanding is created allowing the client to be involved in the whole process.

We believe in making sure that the client understands what each step of the video production or multimedia development process is and how it works.  We operate in this fashion in order to make sure that the vision and message are effectively conveyed, and most importantly the client is satisfied and receives the best quality product on time and within budget.

There are several benefits to adding video to your business website.  Including video on your site allows you to provide more information in a shorter period of time, and increases the amount of time a visitor will spend on your website.  Comscore reported back in 2010 that retail visitors that viewed video stayed on websites two minutes longer than a regular visitor, and were 64 percent more likely to buy something.
