Arty-Shock

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of Qequal, a digital platform for queer service providers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Arty-Shock, and what were your goals?

We worked with Arty-Shock to produce two promotional video clips, that would capture the complex emotional range of safety and quality, focusing on story telling around the service provider's motivation to do what they do.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We were recommended to work with Arty-Shock by business colleagues.

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

We met up for several brainstorming sessions, where we carved out a storyline and the emotional message we wanted to convey and then tailored a storyline to meet those goals, leaving room for occasional spontaneity and improvisation to make the video feel more alive.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with Yehuda. He went out of his way to tailor the video to our needs and outperformed all of our expectations. He was very warm and deeply engaged in our product. He intuitively understood what we needed and wanted and customised a perfect score after interviewing us and the protagonists in a very sensitive and respectful way.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We haven't published the videos yet, but we expect them to hit home with our target audience, because everyone we showed them to so far loved them.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Yehuda | Arty Shock worked precisely, efficiently and timely, yet never hurried or careless. Attention to detail and an overall easy-going friendliness made working together a pleasure.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We were very impressed what quality of production Yehuda | Arty-Shock was able to produce with very little resources and time. Most impressive however, was the sensitivity and dedication with which Yehuda went straight to the heart of our mission and understood it, even though it is very far from his personal experience.

He went above and beyond to create a unique video, that expresses the essence of what we are selling - safety and quality of service. Everything from storyboard to execution to editing was one seamless entity and of the highest quality, like a Savile Row suit.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We were blown away by their professionalism and skills. There is nothin we can think of that could have been done better.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of ami COCON .We are an online platform for diverse online courses and workshops in the field of well-being, mindfulness, sports, spirituality etc.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Arty-Shock, and what were your goals?

We hired Arty-Shock for the video production of several yoga courses. We needed a professional video maker to make the video look cosy, warm and attractive for our customers. It is important that the user enjoys practicing with the video. So we needed someone who understands our needs and who was able to realize them.

For our online teachers' platform (www.amicocon.de/) we wanted to create a couple of online course from our selected teachers. - Our goals were to sell our own content together with the teachers.

SOLUTION

How did you select Arty-Shock and what were the deciding factors?

We had several options, but Arty-Shock understood our needs immediately, the communication was very good, and they came with their own ideas to improve the end result.

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

- The videos are of the teachers teaching yoga. Each course was build from 4-5 lessons of 20-40 min. In our talks we agreed on a specific style for each.

The first step was to create a concept for each teacher. - Pre Production Finding the most suitable location Art - each teacher has is own style so we wanted them to show it - Production - Shooting the 2 courses over two days. - Post Production - where we had several of rounds of revisions.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

I worked mainly with Yehuda. We had direct communication, though I wasn't my self on-site during the shooting, Yehuda kept me updated and share with me status and some photos form the action.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Fin London is a media production creative agency. We make films, commercials, branded content, TV programs, documentaries, and other entertainment content.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Arty-Shock?

We recently received a contract for a big multinational company. We had to roll out branded content across the UK and Europe. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we had to reach out to find a production partner in Germany, which is where Arty-Shock is based. We also had to develop a very quick working relationship with them to meet some tight deadlines.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The company we were working for needed to film four digital coaches to showcase their key attributes. They also needed photoshoots and other collections of assets for their coaching program. Arty-Shock filmed and captured the content for us. They worked on a tight window because they had four days to film the four coaches who were in a 300–400 miles range across Germany. They needed to work on the logistical setup, be cooperative in the one-on-one sessions with the coaches, and be representative for us in situ.

We wrote the script, and Arty-Shock had to digest, understand, and execute the script in the location. They also had to find the locations in which they could carry out successfully. Some of the coaches were new to this kind of project, so Arty-Shock had to handle them with real care. They built up incredible trust with the people and the organization.

We had specific briefs on how we wanted the shots, and they managed to comprehend them and dive into them. They also had to get the people to be on camera and act natural and friendly, which was quite hard. It was also hard to get access to film within the houses and locations.

Now that the coaching program is live, we have content going out on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. As a digital branded broadcaster, they need a whole catalog of assets to use going forward, and we’ve continued to work with Arty-Shock as we do so. Given that we still can’t travel, they’ve become our team on the ground. They still film small bits for the company, and we’ve been handing a lot of the content to our producers to help the final client have the output they need.

What is the team composition?

We’ve been working with five people. Arty-Shock put together a producer, a cameraman, a soundman, a director, and a logistics person.

How did you come to work with Arty-Shock?

We did research online, and Arty-Shock was our backup option at first. The first choice we had was extremely booked up, and the weather turned against us. It suddenly started snowing, and the company didn’t want snow in their pictures, so we had to quickly shift from our first to our second choice. Being a second option, Arty-Shock hadn’t been party to a lot of the initial talks and preambles we’d done with the first company, so we had to get them up to speed very quickly.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around €33,000–€34,000 (approximately $40,000–$41,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2021, and our engagement is ongoing. Arty-Shock has continued a long-term friendship with the company, even beyond the job. We're expecting to continue to work with them as we go forward.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The content is now live, and everyone is happy. All the files have been sent to an ad agency in Germany, and they’re working with them to produce more content.

Arty-Shock works really hard and diligently. They work really well with the coaches on the ground, which is really crucial for us. They’re capable of adhering to all the regulations we need.

How did Arty-Shock perform from a project management standpoint?

I let Arty-Shock use the cameras and equipment they feel comfortable using, and I only demand certain specifications for the files. They film the content, but we have to edit it. It’s crucial for us to remain in control because it’s not easy to let a third party do the shots in this type of project. Arty-Shock is completely happy with that kind of project management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Arty-Shock has hit all the points of the briefs, and they’ve done everything that has been asked for them really well and cleanly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There are a lot of decisions Arty-Shock has made that I would have made slightly differently. However, it’s understandable that, as we’re different individuals, we have a different eye for our creative processes.

Any advice for potential customers?

Give Arty-Shock a try. They’re mentally affable, lovely, and kind people.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Global Communications Strategist for an international nonprofit doing work across Europe.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Arty-Shock?

We hired arty-Shock to travel with our communications team to interview individuals in an effort to capture their stories. We traveled to multiple locations and met with many two to three people a day in their individual apartments which were often quite small.

The goal was to, not only capture the individuals being interviewed, but to also capture the work being done by our staff. The outcome was intended to be collecting stories form clients as well as telling our own story. There would be no opportunity for retakes. It was a tall order for a crew that needed to be mobile, flexible and ready for anything.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to come away from the week-long filming with 8 separate videos; one for each of the individuals we interviewed, 1 as an overview of the week, and 1 highlighting the work being done by our staff.

SOLUTION

How did you select Arty-Shock?

We have worked with Arty-Shock for several years now and their work consistently exceeds expectations. Choosing them for this mobile project with a lot of unknowns was a no-brainer. We needed someone who was detail oriented, focused on the task at hand at all times, and able to make adjustments as the situation required.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

Each individual interviewed had their own unique story - a separate set of circumstances that made up their life and particular situations in which they were currently living. No two interviews were the same and each video profile needed to highlight each unique detail.

Arty-Shock was able to complete each video, showing each individual in their best light, with b-roll threaded through in a way that really evoked the powerful history each person was sharing. Going into people's homes required a delicate touch, as professional and efficient manner while still being gentle with the individuals and respectful of their space.

Arty-Shock was able to connect with these people, hear their stories and capture the details of their lives in a way that endeared them to each person we met with, all while setting up multiple cameras and lights and other equipment. The process was nearly seamless in each location, some of which seemed impossibly small for the task.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Our communications team worked with Arty-Shock for several months after the week-long shoot to maximize the footage and pull as much out of each profile video, the overview video and the behind-the-scenes video of the staff.

We gave edits that were quickly implemented and returned. Arty-Shock was far more proactive than our team was, constantly checking in on the progress of each video even when unsolicited.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The resulting videos are amazing. We use them across many of our platforms and channels, highlighting them at our annual board meeting and using pieces of each video across our social channels.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Arty-Shock works so efficiently with our team, and they are so proactive and thoughtful it is almost like they are a full time employee of our department. Seamless communications, quick responses to inquiries and often times providing options for additional applications of the videos that our team had not considered.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Our communications team is quite small and works globally. It is imperative that the vendors we use are able to manage the work completely with minimal guidance and complete the work on time and in budget. This is the consistent outcome of our work with Arty-Shock.

What makes them stand out is the sensitive way they handle the subject matter and the individuals who's stories we are trying to capture. They are dependable and respectful, and their project deliverable reflects the care they show during each shoot.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I wish I could move forward more projects with them more often. Each project just gets better and better.

Our film creation journey began with conceptualization, where we defined the film's message, objectives, and target audience. Arty-Shock was selected for their expertise in this creative endeavor. With a clear direction in mind, we worked on story development and scriptwriting to craft a compelling narrative. A visual storyboard was created to plan each shot and sequence, followed by pre-production logistics, including location scouting and casting.

 The process involved multiple iterations and feedback rounds, collaborating closely with Arty-Shock to refine the storyline, script, and overall vision. Filming took place at various locations, and post-production, including editing and effects, was expertly handled by the agency. Our film underwent extensive review and revisions to ensure it aligned perfectly with our vision. 

Our collaboration with Arty-Shock resulted in a very beautiful film that effectively conveyed our company's message while achieving our marketing objectives. We are very impressed with the result and extremely thankful to Arty-Shock for their dedication and creativity in bringing our vision to life.
