Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a musician. It’s something I do for fun on the side of my day job as an engineering program manager for a connected hardware consultancy.

For what projects/services did your company hire VP Legacies?

I wanted a video of a studio recording for my music album.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted to get high-quality video capture of four songs to capture their emotional characteristics. I also needed to do it within my budget and time constraints.

How did you select this vendor?

They were highly recommended by my mother. Her company used VP Legacies to revamp their leadership training content.

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

The team arrived at the music recording studio with their cameras and lighting equipment. They unpacked and immediately began scanning the studio for interesting shots. Once the recording began, they would direct my other musician and recording team to locations and positions to capture the right shots for the song. They took charge of the whole session.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Their film crew directed the audio engineer, set-up team, and my other musician in order to capture the most interesting shots. After the filming took place, their COO reached out to me to discuss the overall timeline and budget for production.

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

They did a great job during the recording session at getting the emotional "feel" of the song. The VP Legacies team kept pushing us to get better and more interesting shots. The project is still ongoing, but the quality of the service during the filming gives me confidence that they will deliver high-quality results at every step.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They were super easy to work with, and responsive to feedback or constraints on our end. Their communication was exceptional during the live recording session, which is not a trivial endeavor given the amount of moving parts. They were incredibly cooperative with the recording team. They’ve done a great job of checking in with me several times a week via phone and email. They anticipate my concerns, and the process has been overall excellent.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their filming process went well into the night, which was above and beyond my expectations. I don't know anything about film production, so I was blown away by their ability to make me feel comfortable. My experience as a consultant has given me a high bar for service businesses. I was impressed with them across client expectation management. They were super fun and easy to work with, very enthusiastic about my project, and saw things I couldn't.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder and CEO of Kiss Cam. We're a social media fan site that allows users to take pictures, drop them into our Kiss Cam hearts, and then send to friends or upload to Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat.

What challenge were you trying to address with VP Legacies?

We wanted to reach out to large advertising companies and venue operators, and foreign sports leagues, so we were looking for a company to produce a B2B video for our website.

What was the scope of their involvement?

VP Legacies helped us create a storyboard and a script and then produced an animated video for us. The video is featuring a couple that is overlooking a stadium and shows how their advertising could go around the world. Our in-house team created a draft and brought in our female talent to do the narrative. It was a collaborative process and VP Legacies incorporated our feedback into the final cut. The video is now available on YouTube.

The second video is an instructional video for college students, in which two young women and a young man, all wearing Kiss Cam T-shirts, are instructing people on how to download the app. There are five clips, each of which is 30 seconds long, and VP Legacies managed both the editing and the production.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two of their owners and a producer.

How did you come to work with them?

I found them through networking. I didn't want to work with a large company and VP Legacies was just the right size for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $15,000–$20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in December 2017 and the project was completed in March 2018.

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

We’re very happy with the animated video. Our instructional video hasn't been made public yet, but we liked the ideas that VP Legacies came up with and their ability to make changes quickly.

How did they perform from a project management standpoint?

They're highly responsive, professional, and hands-on.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're a smaller agency, so they immediately addressed our concerns.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They're rapidly growing and my hope is that they will continue to master the talent they have.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and president of Crestcom International, a 30-year-old interactive leadership development organization. We’re active in 64 countries.

What challenge were you trying to address with VP Legacies?

Our internal video content was relevant and substantive, but looked old. We wanted to modernize the videos and preserve the informative content.

What was the scope of their involvement?

For our older videos, VP Legacies added pictures and music. They also changed some coloring.

What is the team composition?

They assigned a two-person team.

How did you come to work with VP Legacies?

I knew the COO through my son and met his partner through one of our franchises. We weren't considering vendors because the project was internal at the time. However, we gave VP Legacies a trial run. We decided to move forward with them after seeing they could handle the project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Work started in February 2018 and is ongoing.

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

The quality is good and they are very easy to work with. Importantly, the team takes feedback well. They’ve done a great job turning these videos into something people of all ages would enjoy watching.

How did VP Legacies perform from a project management standpoint?

They do what they say they are going to do. Overall project management is excellent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re cost-effective and creative in their experiments with different visual avenues.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The more we work together, the better it has been. The first video was more difficult. But it got easier once they got a feel for our preferences and processes.
