I don’t understand how the process works?
Answer: You write a script on your professional philosophy,
or whatever message you choose to relay to your web audience and
email it to our studio. Shooting your video will take approximately
40 minutes – 1 hour to shoot a typical "Introductory
Package", and a "Comprehensive Package" will
typically take anywhere from 1-2 hours to shoot.
2. Question: What if I don’t know how to write
my script?
Answer: We can help you on that. Once an appointment has been
set, we will email you or fax over a script outline. Just fill it
the blanks. Once that is done, it’s easier to format your thoughts
into an actual script.
3. Question: What if I still can’t write my
script.
Answer: You can either email us the script and we can walk
you through the process, or we can write the entire script for you
(Our scripting fees are $95 per hour, in $15 minute minimum
increments).
- Question:
How much will it cost?
Answer: We have two packages you can choose from, our first
package starts at $300. That includes 1 hour of production time, your
choice of backgrounds, background music, and two camera angles. Our
second package includes all of the above plus an extra hour of
production time, a closing graphic and two client testimonials.
(please refer to pricing page on website)
- Question: Can I add more features than the standard
package?
Answer: We can add text, graphics, pre-existing video,
animation, or anything else you might find on a promotional video.
6. Question: How does my video actually get onto my
website?
Answer: Once your introduction has been taped, edited, and
encoded, we can either publish it to the VideoIntros.com hosting
site, email it to your web developer, hand it to you on CD, or if
you have editing capabilities for your site, you can publish the
link yourself for free, or we can do it for you for a fee.
- Question: What is a link?
Answer: A link is a button, graphic, or text on a web page that
when clicked on, sends you to another site or feature within that, or
any other site.
- Question:
What do I next, what do I wear?
Answer: Once your appointment has been scheduled, we will email
you directions and instructions for preparing a script, tips on
wardrobe, hair, and presentation in front of the camera.
- Question:
What if I can’t memorize my script?
Answer: You don’t need to. We have a teleprompter so you can
read your script as we are taping, but it’s important to remember
that this is your chance to make a perfect first impression, so make
sure that you are able to deliver your lines effectively before you
arrive.
- Question:
What if viewers can’t view my video on the
internet?
Answer: We have found that about 90%-95% of your web audience
will be able to view your video in the Windows Media Player that comes
with their Windows software. For those who have never taken the time
to set their players properly, or (in most cases) have very old
players, we can provide your webmaster with a link to update their
players, or to troubleshoot any problems they might experience in
viewing your intro. We also give the option (at a minimal charge) to
have your video encoded on two (2) additional formats (Real Video
& QuickTime) this gives the internet user the ability to view the
video on either player.
- Question:
Why do I even need a "Streaming Video
Introduction" on my website?
Answer: Current marketing methods have succeeded in letting
people know that you exist, and the hope is that they will call upon
you when and if they ever need an agent. But once someone is actually
at your site, you know that they are actively in search of
finding an agent (a qualified lead). This is the time you’ll need to
connect with each prospect, and begin to develop an "Emotional
Buy-In", before they move on to a competitors site. Having a
"Streaming Video Introduction" on you site will give you an
opportunity to share your personality, as well as your professional
philosophies
- Question:
How long will my video be?
Answer: Most videos will run between 2-3 minutes, but can run
up to 3.5 minutes in our "Introductory" and
"Comprehensive" Packages, however, depending on how many
testimonials, and points your covering, we can run as long as you
feel keeps your viewer engaged.
