We have a network of preferred videographers, who are pre-qualified and available across the country. We give videographers a list of standard specifications to assure that all videos are of the highest quality. The videographer will be well informed regarding your video requirements before arriving at your office. This is accomplished through the pre-production planning that takes place prior to your appointment with the videographer.

After you order your video, you are assigned your own project manager who will guide you through the process. We make sure you are involved every step of the way so you have complete control over the content and message of your video.

When your order is complete you can access video stats 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when logged into the digitorial.com website.

Our clients own the copyright to any production that is created. Once the project is paid for, the client is emailed a copy of the final production for their records.

Once your order is complete, you will receive an email with instructions on how to add the video to your website. The instructions will include a few lines of code. Wherever this code is placed on your website is where the video controls will display. The video will then stream from our server, which does not affect your bandwidth or server size.

If the error is something that we did wrong such as mispronouncing a word then there is no charge. If you would like to make changes then you will be charged on a per revision basis and the price would need to be determined based on the extent of the revision.

What if I would like a professional actor or actress in my video instead of me?

We have a well developed network of professional actors, actresses and voice over talent. We will work with you to find the right look or voice for your video. High profile talent (TV actor, radio personality) may add to the cost of your production.

Our standard Digitorial Video is 2 minutes in length. We find that for web based video applications, 2 minutes is maximum length, but we can produce longer videos (hours in length) if your application requires it.

We use Adobe Flash technology to deliver your video on the internet. Flash does not require an external player, starts playing very quickly, allows for easy worldwide distribution of your video can be seen by 95% of internet users.

No we operate on a month-by-month basis. You are billed each month your video is being played by our server.

Yes. Our Digitorial Video player has a connection speed “sniffer” built in. It will automatically detect the connection speed of the viewer and send the appropriate format. This guarantees a very high percentage of people on the internet will be able to see your video.

All video we create is broadcast quality so you would be able to use it for television when appropriate. You will need to request a copy in broadcast format and an additional fee will apply.

Our camera crew will arrive at a pre-determined time and will spend some time setting up and calibrating equipment. During this time, our crew will work with you to select the locations inside your office best suited for filming. During our stay, our crew will be gathering “b-roll” images (external of your office, pan shots of your staff, etc.). They will also film interviews with individual members of your staff, if your video requires this. Our crews are professional and experienced. They will be there to guide you through the process with a minimum of disruption to your business day.

Clients must call 24 hrs before the scheduled filming time in order to reschedule. Failure to do so will result in a charge of $50 to cover the time spent by the film crew arriving at the client’s location.

Not a problem. You may upload photos and video files to us using our Digital Asset Management system (DAM) when you place your order. In some cases you will need to mail a disc or tape in. The image must be at least 640 x 480 pixels and 300 dpi for best results. Images given to us in a lower resolution may appear blurry.

On average, the entire video production and video streaming process takes 3-4 weeks to complete. Each production job is unique, but we may be able to complete your project in a shorter period of time.
