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

We hired EM Productions to help us produce a corporate video for our client which spans over branding and HR recruitment. the project required shooting in Norway, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. The corporate branding video was executed successfully and included interviews from our top management on their core values system. In Singapore, Malaysia and Seoul we focus more on an HR value system video to help our client with their recruitment of top talent. 

Lastly, we commissioned EM Productions to shoot a woman empowerment book about agronomist working all over the world for our client. The portraits had to be carefully planned with each person and every country and the photographer had to visit them and take artistic portraits for this book project. The portraits were shot in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Seoul, South Korea.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

From the start to the finish of this project, it took nearly 10 months from planning to execution and in multiple countries. This is no easy feat, especially in a culturally diverse working environment. EM Productions executed this project professionally and with clear logistics which helped everyone in the team understand what needed to be done without question the artistic skill of this Production house is really wonderful and we were thrilled with the visuals we received in the authentic storytelling, which helped meet the goals of our client.

The client really wanted to make an impact in their HR recruitment. After the videos were produced, they saw a much higher caliber of resumes coming to their corporate office before and we're very happy with the results.

The branding video that was produced also had positive impacts during the annual report presentation of the company.

There was a lot of good feedback from the client and everyone was quite happy with the result, planning and execution. 

The photography book was only executed in Asia by EM Productions, was a wonderful contribution to the rest of the portrait photography used to tell this wonderful story about women agronomist working all over the world.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

EM Productions was very professional and understood how to coordinate proper logistics and planning with multiple teams all over the world. 

As a production agency, we work with teams all over the world on a daily basis, and EM Productions is one of the best we have worked with to date.

The thing we were most impressed with was their quick communications and how to tell a creative story in a visual way to capture the audience and understand our clients messaging. 

I can't emphasize enough, how wonderful it is to work with a production company that understands the end result goal to producing a video and how to achieve that goal in a successful manner. 

There are not many production companies which think this deeply into the productions they make so it is a breath of fresh air to work with a team who thinks beyond just making the video or taking the photos.

The client of ours asked us to help produce a promotional video for the real estate project in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. The client in ourselves are really looking for something, modern and sleek that would appeal to the demographics we are targeting, Koreans, Japanese, and high net worth Vietnamese.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

EM Production is really more than just a video production company, as they do market research and look into studies on how to best target the demographic we would like to reach. They also put together a dissemination package for the final branding films so that we can implement the video to the audience as effectively as possible from all the production companies we have worked with before.

They are mostly focused on the task at hand of creating the video but with EM Productions they came with a much deeper understanding as if they were the business owner and how they would reach their target audience. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see a company take initiative and go beyond just the project but also see how the project is used and how to make it the most effective.

In many ways, they are more of a creative consultancy than a video production company which really gives them incredible value. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Everything was on time and they did give us reminders about how we can meet our timeline goals without delay, but do so in a very responsible and respectful way.

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

As I said, previously, they really go beyond the task of just producing a video, but also how it will affect the target audience and how to disseminate the video as effectively as possible to get the best ROI.

Really this sits them apart from any other production company we've worked with before as it adds incredible value to the result of the video we make, which at the end of the day is the reason why we are producing a video. Ultimately it is for the result it brings.
