FEVR

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at Web3 NFT Company, an NFT and blockchain company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with FEVR?

We needed help with video production for our company.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

FEVR did an explainer video that was intended to help people understand NFTs. They also created short storytelling animations and motion designs for educational purposes, including voiceover, audio editing, and sound design. They started the process by understanding and assessing what we were looking for, and then they gave us ideas on how to fulfill our expectations within our budget — they tailor-made a project scope for us. Consequently, we began to provide them with feedback on their work until we approved everything so they could move forward with the final products.

What is the team composition?

We worked mainly with their executive producer and creative director.

How did you come to work with FEVR?

We found them through a Google search and chose them because they had a lot of experience in what we needed.

How much money have you invested in this partnership?

We spent around $75,000 with them on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–October 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were happy with their overall work, including the illustrations, characters, and artwork they created — the final products were sophisticated and helped us increase our followers and views on YouTube and Twitter, translating into more people buying our products. Overall, they were helpful, proactive, and went beyond our expectations.

How did FEVR perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team was friendly, collaborative, involved, and communicative to ensure that we understood every step of the process. In addition, their executive producer was very well-versed in animation, so she was great at giving us insights and directions on how to improve the products. In terms of tools and communication, we used Zoom and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They provided us with undivided attention, and they’re a high-quality production. Their experience was outstanding, unique, and hard to find within their price point.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn’t think there was anything they could improve on because they were always on top of everything whenever we wanted to change something.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I left the electronics manufacturing company I worked for during our collaboration with FEVR last August. At the time, I was a project manager.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with FEVR?

The company held a major event in the United States last year and hired FEVR to produce a 2-3 minute video. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had an extremely short timeline, so the entire project moved very quickly. As soon as we signed up with FEVR and agreed to work together, every day counted.  In terms of the time commitment, our requirements were extremely high. 

We were holding a groundbreaking ceremony last summer with federal government officials in attendance. FEVR produced and directed a video for our event that was a minute and a half. They designed the graphics it included and created all of the animations.

I wrote the entire script and gave it to them to work with, and they got back to me very quickly with a finalized storyboard that laid out all the different scenes so I could see exactly how the video would look. The animated video introduced our project. It had to convey the scale, purpose, and type of technologies it involved in under 90 seconds. 

How did you come to work with FEVR?

I reviewed many different potential vendors I found through a Google search. The factors I considered were portfolio quality and ability to meet our timeline. I had to make a decision pretty quickly. Inevitably, we started sorting out vendors based on the timing factor. 

We ended up going with FEVR. Their artistic style matched well with our vision, and they fit within the ballpark of our budget. 

How much have you invested with them?

The total cost of the project was about $10,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project took place within July 2018. The production period was only two or three weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I was most satisfied with FEVR's ability to work within a very tight deadline. Based on the turnaround time we required, I was very happy with the quality of work they were able to get back to us. 

All the responsible parties that were using the video were very satisfied with the quality, especially considering the tight turnaround time. The video they produced told the exact story we wanted to show our audience.

How did FEVR perform from a project management standpoint?

From a project management standpoint, FEVR's performance was excellent. The company I used to work for is known for moving extremely fast, and FEVR did an excellent job of keeping up with our requirements and demands.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive thing about working with FEVR was their ability to deliver such a high-quality video in light of the budget, project size, and timeline. Whenever we needed something, they got back to us right away. They were excellent and never left us hanging.

I had many decision-makers standing over my shoulder asking me for updates every 12 hours, and FEVR always gave me the status reports and feedback I needed. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I really don't have any complaints or criticisms at this point. All things considered, FEVR did the best job they possibly could have.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would definitely recommend FEVR for their amazing performance. They're amazing at dealing with high-pressure, high-stakes situations in a project like ours. 

I've only worked with FEVR on this project, but considering what they could deliver under such tight time constraints, I can only imagine how excellent the quality of their work would be with more time and resources than we could contribute.  If you can plan out the project with plenty of time to complete it, then they would probably be even better.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a marketing manager for a financial firm. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with FEVR?

We engaged FEVR to create two videos. We wanted to visualize the results of our annual trading survey for a few upcoming conferences, and we lacked in-house video production resources.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We wanted two 30–60-second videos, one with a more specific focus and the other with a more general message. We wanted a particular style that would appeal to institutional investors and conference goers; we specified no narration, minimal background music, and crisp transitions. 

Our side provided thorough direction. We drew out each video frame and created text to go on each frame. We also identified the data points and charts and graphs we wanted to use and defined the graphics and transitions we wanted the videos to focus on. We based our prep material on a video in FEVR’s portfolio.

The team was highly receptive to our specific requirements and took over the video production process from there. We had multiple edit rounds at every stage. FEVR excelled at incorporating our edits and turned around revised materials quickly.

What is the team composition?

Andrea (Executive Producer, FEVR) served as my main point of contact and the account manager. She led a larger team behind the scenes.

How did you come to work with FEVR?

I searched for video production companies on Google and considered vendors on their portfolio. I liked FEVR’s past work and could picture what we wanted based on their videos for other clients. Once we reached out to their team, they took the time to understand our project needs and came back with a quote that fit our budget.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September–October 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The videos arrived in time for our major conferences, and over a thousand people have seen them now. We’ve received lots of positive feedback from viewers about how the videos explain our survey results with a fresh look and feel. 

How did FEVR perform from a project management standpoint?

Having one point of contact streamlined communication. Andrea conveyed our requests and edits to her team clearly and thoroughly, which showed in their work. The team’s internal organization seemed well in hand, and they delivered products on time

What did you find most impressive about them?

FEVR’s timely delivery and responsiveness stood out the most. They provided timelines right away and style frames within a few days of the project kick-off. The team also always tried to incorporate our edits and never turned down our requests. Thorough and professional, FEVR had clear technical expertise to produce multiple types of videos. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

On occasional, one or two of the 20–30 edits we’d sent them at a time would get lost, and I had to follow up with them about them. However, they always made those changes right away. It was a small issue in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive collaboration.

Any advice for potential customers?

Provide their team with as much information as possible to help them understand your company, mission, and goals. Have a clear vision of what you want so that FEVR help you achieve a successful outcome.
