Video Editing for Independent TV Producer
"I'm not only 100% satisfied, I want to work with them again."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm an independent TV producer. I freelance for production companies as a field, story, and casting producer while also creating TV shows. Three of the shows I created are optioned at various production companies.
For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy?
Brandefy edited a sizzle reel for a TV show I created that was selected as a finalist for the Propelle Program initiative to amplify female content creators.
What were your goals for this project?
My goal was to have a sizzle reel for MVP that stood out from the pack, was clear and concise in it's storytelling and imagery, and would land me another option.
How did you select Brandefy?
I was referred to Brandefy by a friend. I had never heard of them before, nor had I ever hired a branding company for a sizzle reel. I thought this would be a smart move because it would add the expertise of someone in branding that could put a unique stamp on the sizzle. Brandefy knocked it out of the park!
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
I delivered a drive that had a basic string out, as well as additional video footage and GFX elements that they might want to incorporate into the sizzle. I also gave them an A/V script so they could have a reference for my string out.
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
Brandefy would send me a first pass, I'd give notes, then they'd incorporate the notes. I only had to give one round of notes. That never happens. Usually, you go back and forth with an editor 4-5 times or sit in the bay with them while they edit the sizzle. We didn't have that option because of Covid so we communicated remotely.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Brandefy's work on the sizzle made me look like a rock star! I came in 1st runner up and EveryWoman Studios optioned the show. They're already out to start talent to attach to the project.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Workflow between me and Brandefy was very effective. Marton Vero was very easy to work with! I got cuts quickly and changes were made within a few hours.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
What I found most impressive was the fact that they really know what they're doing. Even though sizzle reels isn't something they do every day, it surely felt like it. There was literally no mixed communication or misunderstandings with the direction of the reel. I've told many of my colleagues that hiring Brandefy for sizzles is the way to go.
Are there any areas for improvement?
No areas for improvement. I'm not only 100% satisfied, I want to work with them again. I feel like they're my secret weapon!

Sustainable Commuting Video for Government Org
"Having the smaller steps built into the process of creation allowed for collaboration and ultimately a great product."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a Planner II and I am the program coordinator for the City's employee commuter program Commute Connections.
For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy?
To create a video about sustainable commuting, specifically carpooling
What were your goals for this project?
To promote and normalize carpooling as a sustainable commute/trip option, and to move people to our program platform to sign up for carpooling.
How did you select Brandefy?
They were a subcontractor under our marketing contract with Sue J.
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
The video details the traffic congestions issues in our place, and how taking a sustainable commute like carpooling can positively impact traffic congestion, your social life, and save you money.
The video addressed perceived barriers that people may have about carpooling and provided resources to employees about how to start carpooling. The process for creation was very helpful for our team to be able to start with a creative brief, review a visual storyboard, and be able to comment before moving to production.
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
The feedback process was helpful, I appreciate that there were several steps along the way, not just going straight to video production. This allowed us to get the best video possible because edits were made along the way and everyone was on the same page. I enjoyed this incremental process a lot.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Due to COVID-19, we were not able to promote this carpool video as we had hoped. However, many of our partners love this video and would like to use it as well so I see that as successful!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very effective! Marton was responsive and the timelines and expectations were always clear.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Everything! But I think the visual storyboard step was very impressive. Having the smaller steps built into the process of creation allowed for collaboration and ultimately a great product.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Nope!

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
For 15 years I have been the face and the founder of both fitness and wellness companies. We bring a full spectrum of fitness and wellness to our in-house clientele. As well as through virtual programs, corporate clients and co-branding marketing partnerships.
For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy?
Most recently we hired Brandefy to shoot, edit and direct 6 instructional fitness videos for a new online course we are rolling out in 2020. I originally worked on a longer project with Brandefy a few years back.
What were your goals for this project?
Very fast turn around with quality material! I gave them a second challenge- I wanted it to look professional but to also appear like I shot it on my own. I did not want it to appear too polished, and I wanted it polished all at the same time.
I have no doubt there may of been some foreheads in hands as I told them this on our pitch call. :-) But they nailed it!!! I could not be happier.
How did you select this vendor?
I originally worked on a longer project with Brandefy a few years back. In this project I was hied as the expert talent and Brandey was the video team. We did approximately 30 videos together over a course of a month, I believe we did 3 1 day shots.
I was impressed with the professionalism, focus to detail and positive laidback attitude of Marton and everyone at Brandefy. Now that I am producing my own courses and programs I felt it was a no brainer to reach out to Brandfy.
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
On this recent project we shot 3 20-30 minute instructional workout/ coaching videos and 2 10 minute additional content videos. We wen t with a 2 camera approach.
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
Marton and I had 2 calls prior to the shoot where we discussed the look, feel, and style. He was great about listening to my ideas, then constructively giving his professional opinions to enhance my vision. It truly felt collaborative.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
It looks good- we just started selling the program so I don't have user feedback yet. I am confidant the material will have good reviews from my consumer. With that said I suspect that I could easily go to Brandefy and share any negative commenting and that they would do their best to fix for us.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Seamless. The Brandefy team are tru professionals. They were respectful to everyone on my team. They carried themselves with confidence not arrogance. Which made my team relax, giving them the space to only do their job. And, don't have to followup on every detail. In fact nothing fell through the cracks. It's like Brandefy doesn't have any cracks.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
It's hard to just give one thing. The quality of the work was very good, but I think the thing that sets them apart from any of the other very good production companies out there is their personal touch.
I felt like I was working with friends, and that we were in this together. That means a lot to me and makes it all a more enjoyable process. I did also love Marton's directing/notes during shoot- that really helped me shine at a whole new level.
Are there any areas for improvement?
No. I mean Marton and his team were even great with my dog being on set and in some of the shoots- which I dropped into their lap the day of! Oops.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president of a company that manufactures specialty abrasives.
What challenge were you trying to address with Brandefy?
We needed to create some 2D and 3D videos for YouTube and tradeshow purposes.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Brandefy provided video production services to us. They sent us a form to fill out to provide the details of our product and what we were looking for. We laid that out for them, and then they put the scripts together, organized the shoot, and edited the film.
What is the team composition?
Marton (CEO & Executive Producer) was my main point of contact.
How did you come to work with Brandefy?
I found them on Google and worked with them because their portfolio was very high-quality. They were also local to where I was at the time.
How much have you invested with them?
My company spent $5,000–$10,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with Brandefy from around January–April 2019.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We wanted a high-quality product, and they delivered on that. If we need another well-produced video, we’ll talk to them again.
How did Brandefy perform from a project management standpoint?
They were excellent in this regard. Marton and his team were very organized and efficient, and that was appreciated. They were very quick and communicative in terms of responding, putting scripts together, and organizing the shoot in a timely manner. They helped tweak different edits to make sure that we were happy, without bothering us with any updated statements of work or anything. They worked within our budget and were easy to work with. We mostly communicated via email.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their responsiveness, in conjunction with their knowledge and the quality of their work, was unusual and appreciated.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, not for us.
Any advice for potential customers?
You need to know what you want to communicate about your products. They will do a great job producing it, but you need to know what you want the end result to look like.

What were your goals for this project?
Create educational videos will clear and concise information and at the same time include a pleasing aesthetic with the intention of motivate and inspire the viewer.
How did you select this vendor?
After researching various videographers, Marton at Brandefy was the most professional, pleasant and easy to work with even when first contacting him. He was also thorough providing the requested information and always delivering it promptly. Additionally, after reviewing pricing with other companies, he offers reasonable pricing for the quality he delivers!
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
Once we selected Bradefy, Marton worked with us all the way throughout the process clarifying all the details. Even not being in the same state the communication back and forth was smooth and always very clear. I worked with Marton before and after the live event via telephone conversations and phone. He was always professional, patience, helpful and always delivery accurate information and details. During the live event I got to meet Marton in person. He is respectful, very patience and has a keen ability to understand the needs of a client. After the event he kept making the requested changes to the videos and delivered all the materials promptly on time.

Marton worked with us alongside during the editing of the videos. He provided various rounds for us to provide feedback. Always being very detailed and making the appropriate changes.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I was a Realtor at Reilly Realtors. One of the largest independent brokerages in Austin Texas. It has since been bought out by Realty Austin and all of my old marketing has been shelved.
For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy?
Small series of info and entertaining videos to get new real estate clients. Show what is in it for them and why I could help them make dreams come true and it be fun in the process.
What were your goals for this project?
Differentiate myself from the mass of Realtors in the market. Share my core beliefs, technology utilized, benefits of working with me and areas of focus. Show my professional side with a personal touch and Im pretty silly and that was important to show my clients would have fun in the process of buying or selling a home!
How did you select this vendor?
Im not a big researcher online, word of mouth is how I found out about Brandefy and Marton. Then the speed and ease of communication sealed the deal. Marton listened to my vision, offered insights on how to maximize that and make it better than I could of imagined...on my budget!
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
I gave Marton a list of goals/topics I wanted to cover. He interviewed me to get a better understanding. He then highlighted which would go, gave an overview with visual aid on how the thought it would work best. He took my feedback and made adjustments as I requested. There were a couple points that he pushed not to change, and in the end he was right on those!
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
I got really busy while during the process. Marton was great about poking me to do my part to stay on task. Marton is a great email communicator, Im more of a talker and he understood that and would call instead of trying to type/explain process to me. Brandefy delivered exactly when they said the would, and what they said they would. I had 5 one minute videos that shared who/how I was and the benefits of working with me. They were engaging, entertaining and informative. I got GREAT feedback from folks who saw them.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
They were cute and unique, they made the rounds and I would get recognized in my office. My clients enjoyed them and would share too. It was a conversation starter on many levels. Folks who werent referrals found me!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
I am my team! It was smooth, I didnt have to follow up. Updates and info flowed freely and on time. It was nice to not have to be a driving force to get something done! At that time I worked for myself by myself, if I didnt do it it didnt get done. Brandefy set an expectation and then nailed it!
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The level of professional output for a client that is probably their smallest account. Marton listened, engaged and treated me like a top tier client, turns out his style is to make sure Brandefy's products are always top notch.
Are there any areas for improvement?
It was my only experience with this type of production and Im very happy the results. Its been fun thinking about that time when doing this review. I dont have any "but" issue, like "the video was great BUT I wish they would have..." It was a solid experience and if I get in the position again to showcase a produce or service I would reach out to Brandefy!

As the Director of Sales & Marketing for Vintage IT I am responsible for making sure all of our marketing and sales efforts represent who we are, how we do it and the differentiators that make us the best locally owned Managed Services and Cloud Services provider. Everything we do we do with integrity and we care about our employees and our customers. Working with Marton and his team at Brandefy has helped expand our brand and get the appropriate messaging out about who we are and what we do.
For what projects/services did your company hire Brandefy?
We hired Marton and his team at Brandefy to create videos of who we are and our company as well as a Whiteboard explainer video. We also were on a subscription basis with Brandefy for Video SEO but we changed the direction of that project and the HONEST team at Brandefy stated that service was no longer necessary since we moved into a different direction.
What were your goals for this project?
Since the project has been completed we now have the whiteboard explainer video listed below all of our sales and marketing teams signature, on our website and is viewed by 20K plus recipients who receive our weekly newsletter.
How did you select this vendor?
I did my research and it was worth having Marton and his team fly out from California to do the project. I wanted someone who was easy to work with and communicate with, patient and most importantly an expert in his industry. The price was fair and the results were worth every penny!
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
For the whiteboard explainer video we had several back and forth conversations about the message, timeline even details on the voice selected behind the video (male, female, young, old etc.) after several discussions and planning Brandefy provided us with draft after draft until we got it to where we wanted it. Because Marton and his team "get it" it only took a few drafts to get to our final product which is really nice.
What was the team composition?
I worked directly with Marton Varo.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
As I mentioned earlier the whiteboard explainer video is on our website, in our weekly newsletters and part of the sales & marketing teams signature. When we first released the video I had about 12 people ask who did the video and if I would be willing to share Marton''s info which I happily did. The company videos are on our website and our YouTube channel dan used periodically in our newsletters'.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Easy, respectful and stayed within the timeline we requested. I would work over and over with Marton and the team at Brandefy. I love their work and working with them.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Their knowledge base and professionalism throughout the project impressed us. Over time I feel like Marton and I became friends but when it came to the projects at hand it was always kind but professional. We are a small company from a user perspective so good relationships with our partners makes the execution of projects and workflow a better experience.,
Are there any areas for improvement?
Not from what I can see at this point.
Thanks to the efforts of the Brandefy team, the company was able to get their show options, and the studio is currently looking for talent to attach to the project. The company was most impressed by how the team knew so much about sizzle reels even though it was not part of their usual repertoire.
