Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our company needed a quality location video production crew, overseas, with only about six days notice, to film a series of interviews to match what had previously been filmed here in the United States. Dror was available for communication before hand, with a 9 hour time difference, to ensure that his team was prepared for the shoot.

With limited time and in a noisy equipment-filled room, Dror was able to successfully capture the four interviews, and corresponding b-roll needed, to edit seamlessly in to our production. Video quality was excellent, audio was sharp, and post shoot file transfer was quick and seamless.

Deliverables included roughly 500GB of video files, interviews and b-roll, at 4K resolution.

The video footage captured on location edited seamlessly with previously captured video footage.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 770productions, and what were your goals?

We strive for top notch professionalism. We believe that the medium of the video is just as important as the actual message. There are many people in Israel that we needed to interview, but could never find a top-notch cameraman to work with us to get a beautiful picture.

We used a few production companies and it just wasn't a fit. After finding Dror of 770productions, it was a game-changer. He is very good at getting a beautiful video, is very flexible and easy to work with. He always went above and beyond to help us in our mission. In the last 16 years, 770Productions shot over 200 interviews for us. In all the interviews, we never had any technical problems. 770 Productions also helped in any logistics that were needed.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

We locate a few people of who to interview. 770productions would go to the person's house and set it up beautifully for the interview. After the shooting day, they would upload the footage to our NYC main office.
