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

HuVideo has provided an array of video production and graphic design services that have eleveted our brand awareness and recognition since 2021.  From the post-production work done with our YouTube channel episodes and shorts of our brand and socials for Build with Rosa to the state-of-the-art video testimonials of our client's experiences with our brand RSZ Design + Development.  HuVideos is stupendous at taking our raw unedited concept and they have a keen sense of understanding and capturing the vision to produce a final product that always exceeds our expectations.  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As we continue to enhance our brand we continue to see the successes related to the engagement of HuVideos as a trusted partner of our brands.  Our YouTube channel continues to grow, our social engagement on Instagram went from 6K followers to 24K followers in a matter of 8 weeks and we attribute this impressive organic growth to the quality of content that HuVideos was producing for our brands and firm.

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

The number one reason why our engagement with HuVideos has been so successful is due to the attention to detail, excellent customer service, superb communication, and they desire that HuVideos has to see us succeed.  It is notable that HuVideos whole heartedly believes that our success is their success.  In the 3 years of engagement HuVideos has never missed a deadline they have agreed upon.  Their communication with us is second to none, and the level of care placed in each one of our engagements is the reason why we keep on partnering with such an outstanding firm.

What was your primary form of communication with HUVIDEOS?

Virtual Meeting

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

EVERYTHING!  Communication, skillset, attention to detail, a desire to want to understand our brands and create content/productions that relay the message in the voice of the brand's image.  Their execution of the work and meeting timelines, and ALWAYS exceeding expectations on the final results. SUPERB!  EXCELLENCE!  OUTSTANDING! are mere words when it comes to the manner in which we  appreciate and respect our partnership with HuVideos.

Are there any areas for improvement or something HUVIDEOS could have done differently?

Technology wise we have met some challenges along the way; especially due to the upload/download capabilities in the region where HuVideos operates; HOWEVER, HuVideos has NEVER invoiced our firm for those lags in time or hiccups.  HuVideos is SOLUTIONS DRIVEN, and when we have encountered issues that have been out of our control, HuVideos has enlisted the assistance of our technology group, or has presented the concern with a solution at hand.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a creative video agency, and we produce digital media content for a wide variety of companies throughout the country.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with HUVIDEOS?

We hired HUVIDEOS to produce two deliverables for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The first film was a two-minute testimonial video for a project we had with a metal service company. The video featured a couple of our external clients’ members where they talked about their membership benefits. The second video was a two-minute reel showcasing our work. We gave them our assets, footage, songs, images, references for past projects, and more. They used Adobe Premiere to edit the videos.

What is the team composition?

We only worked with Mohammed (Senior Video Editor).

How did you come to work with HUVIDEOS?

We got randomly connected with Mohammed on LinkedIn. After that, I reached out to him because I liked his work. We were formally introduced to each other through a Zoom call, and since we work with freelance editors, I decided to give Mohammad a shot to create one of our videos.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $1,000. For the first project, we spent $600. Then, for the second project, we spent $400.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them in February 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We didn’t have any statistics about their projects, but HUVIDEOS’ films were very well done. 

How did HUVIDEOS perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated through email, and if anything was urgent, we got in touch through LinkedIn. I was the project manager for both projects, and they took directions from me. Overall, they were very responsive throughout the engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Mohammed had a great eye for detail. His decision regarding the transitions, shots, and music was very impressive. Above all, he was creative and I enjoyed the way he worked with us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Mohammed was from Cairo, and our company was in Chicago. As a result, there was natural time disparity that sometimes made it difficult to work on the project. However, we didn’t really face any time constraints. Our only issue was the eight-hour time difference. 

We highly appreciated that Mohammed was good at English. Still, there were certain times where we needed to translate our messaging differently.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate with them, and be clear about what you want them to accomplish.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the executive manager at CGTN Africa – Cairo Bureau, a Cairo television network. It’s a national English speaking channel, and we do news reporting of events.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with HUVIDEOS?

We needed a highly skilled person to help with video production. We wanted someone who could learn to edit our news reports.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We trained Mohammed (Senior Video Editor) on the kinds of skills we wanted, and he’s been helping us with video production ever since. Most of the work he does is for feature stories and political, business, and sports news. Most of the stories are 2–4 minute segments, but we’ve done 11-minute documentaries a couple of times.

What is the team composition?

We work with Mohammed. He manages the other three editors.

How did you come to work with HUVIDEOS?

When we met Mohammed the first time, he didn’t have that much experience in this kind of work. He was a video editor for promos and advertisements. However, we felt that he had the skills and was serious about learning. We decided to hire him despite his lack of experience because when we tested him, he strived to do things accurately.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $70,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2016, and he’s still working with us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The feedback from our clients has been very positive. They feel that he’s an asset and praise his work a lot. When we recruited him, they noticed the improvement and sent us a message saying there was something different in the packages we’d sent them. They felt the video editing was better, so the reviews and remarks were great.

How did HUVIDEOS perform from a project management standpoint?

Since there’s a lot of work, we’re in contact by the hour. We used to meet every day, and we would sit down and put the plan for the day together. We would also meet weekly for planning. Since COVID-19, face-to-face meetings only happen once a week. We currently keep in touch through phone calls, WhatsApp, emails, and Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Mohammed always wants to improve his work. He wants to be creative and add new ideas.

Also, he’s very serious about his job, which is rare in this region. We have a lot of talented video editors, but many of them don’t take things seriously or are responsible at their job. Mohammed is punctual and alert all the time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Since we’re in the news segment, sometimes there are events, demonstrations in the streets, or violence happening that has to be covered. He has to work under immense pressure and be calm and quick, and it took us some time to get him to reach that point. He can be calm under pressure, but he needs to work faster.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

A personal relationship is very important — you have to feel that you respect him. In that sense, how you treat him as a person makes a big difference. If you treat him too aggressively, he’ll give you your work but you won’t enjoy it. If he feels he belongs and is part of the team, you’ll get the best out of him.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of operations of an international news channel that belongs to the Chinese government.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with HUVIDEOS?

We needed help with our video editing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re responsible for the video editing of our projects daily. The content can be short documentaries, news stories, and other video content.

What is the team composition?

There are three people involved, and they’re all video editors.

How did you come to work with HUVIDEOS?

We were looking for someone professional, and they have video editing certification by Apple. Additionally, they’re fluent in english; that’s also important for our line of work. Both of those skills were key to choosing to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $60,000 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2017, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their work is brilliant in terms of technical directions. I can say that is the best-produced content in our channel globally.

How did HUVIDEOS perform from a project management standpoint?

They are perfect; they rarely miss the deadlines on delivering something. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re updated with the latest software, and they always expand their skills; they also help us introduce more technology to our video edits.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I think they can improve on. 

Any advice for potential customers?

Don’t hesitate to work with them and just go for it. They’re great at understanding the work and the client’s vision to implement it on the deliverables.
