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 was your primary form of communication with EM Productions Video Production and Photography?

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.

Our brand was launching a new resort and we needed to create a commercial branded video that stood out. We wanted to show case our resort villas and the unique experiences offered at our location, designed to make our brand stand out with unique visuals.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Many of our customers are now mentioning the video they watched and wanting to enjoy the same experiences, which is significantly enhancing the promotion of our services and increasing the profitability of our property. This response perfectly aligns with the goals of our video production campaign.

This project was hands-down the smoothest and most efficient video production we've ever done. For the first time, we saw a video turn out almost exactly as planned, and we were blown away. On the day of the shoot, everything ran like clockwork because EM Productions prepped our local resort team and scouted the locations ahead of time. Their preparation made the whole process a breeze, from shooting to post-production.

We absolutely loved the stunning visuals and creative flair EM Productions brought to the project. They really got our target audience and knew exactly how to appeal to them. The end result was a video that was not only visually breathtaking but also right on point with our marketing goals.

Beyond their creativity, the EM Productions team was super organized and great to communicate with. Everything was clear and on schedule from start to finish. They made the whole process of filming at a high-end resort stress-free and enjoyable. I can’t wait to work with them again!

Our client, wanted to produce a video about their Singapore opperations which included shooting lifestyle office footage as well as conducting a number of interviews over a three day production in Singapore. (EM Productions) was responsible for putting together a crew make up artist and logistics for organizing the production as well as interviews. They also conducted the interviews and made sure that we hit all the key aspects needed for the video.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This was a tricky production as we needed to match all the  production styles from Europe and the United States with what we are going to ask EM Productions to produce. Ehrin was the lead on this production acting as a Director and him and his team really came through for us on this production. This was a really important film for our client as they were about to go public on the stock exchange and this was their first video right after the public offering.

 Not only did EM Prouduction get really good interview responses but the footage was exactly how we wanted it to be matched similar to our offices in Europe and the United States.

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

We had three online meetings with Ehrin and his team and everything was followed as directed. They made sure to ask questions on things that weren't clear. By the time the production took place I felt very confident that they would be able to execute like we liked and sure enough there were no surprises and everyone was happy.

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

In Asia, it can sometimes be pretty hard to find reliable suppliers to execute a production to match a style in the United States or Europe.

Making a video or a photo shoot causes a lot of stress to the resort team and the management, but we found working with EM Productions things went really smoothly, and everybody knew their responsibilities after the job was finished, I could see that our teams were not stretched to their limits like we normally have experienced in the past with other productions. 
This makes everyone's job much easier, and I appreciate their thoughts on reducing their impact on our resort.

Our brand was opening up a new resort in Vietnam and needed to produce not just a commercial branded video but also multiple social media cuts for the video campaign with unique visuals that make our brand stand out. The campaign ranged from multiple social media reels and online advertising shorts featuring the resort villas and the experiences the resort offers in Nha Trang, Vietnam. 
EM Productions was responsible for implementing the production and style as provided by the agency but also modifying the creative brief with copywriting and demographic targeting. We worked with EM Productions to produce over 56 different target videos from this one production.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This campaign ran for three months before the 2023 summer season, and we saw an 20% increase in reservations and sales of the property from the previous year. Our property owner is very happy, as we have seen a significant increase from before the campaign started. 
We are also finding that many of our customers are referring to the video they saw and wanting to have similar experiences, all of which helps promote the services and profitability of our property, which was exactly the reason for implementing this video production campaign.

On the day of the shoot, everything run on schedule, as EM Productions had prepared our local resort team and the locations in advance so that we could be successful in our planning and execution for the post-production. Everything was delivered on time and as agreed.
