BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of a construction management company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with No Frames?

We wanted to bring marketing relevance to our potential clients. Our goal was to produce a video about our company that included client testimonials.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

No Frames has produced a video to show our company culture alongside some client testimonials. The video is filmed and not animated. 

During the creative process, the team interviewed us and sent us a questionnaire that was fairly in-depth on culture, asking us what we wanted to convey. They then came back with suggestions on how they wanted to approach the video production. No Frames was also in charge of audio mixing and editing. 

At present, we're still working with them.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with four people from No Frames, including Erin (Co-Founder & Executive Producer) and Mikko (Director & Cinematographer). Mikko created the filming strategy. 

How did you come to work with No Frames?

I researched firms that produced company videos, and No Frames came up on the internet. We received proposals from four firms and interviewed three of them — No Frames ended up being the successful team.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested $6,000–$8,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

No Frames stays within our budget and communicates with us consistently. They also meet deadlines. If there’s been any slip in deadlines or schedules, it’s on our end. To communicate, we use regular emails and phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team understands our culture and brand, and they’ve used those to represent us in the video fairly successfully. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Having something typed out in terms of where we’re going and what times things are going to happen will be great. This may be a written schedule or agenda that we can share with each other. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open-minded. No Frames has great creatives, so you should allow them to challenge you. They may have some unique perspectives on the project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior producer at an advertising agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with No Frames?

We had a production happening in New York, and we needed to engage a local production partner to help us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I hired No Frames to assist us with a location shoot. They provided all of the equipment we needed and handled all the pre- and post-production work.

What is the team composition?

I worked with 18–20 people from No Frames, including Erin (Owner & Executive Producer).

How did you come to work with No Frames?

I had worked with No Frames in the past. They submitted a bid for the project, which was approved, and then we signed a scope of work.

The project started in October 2022 and ended in the same month.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I have no complaints.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I have a production company where I’m an executive producer. I also work for a nonprofit where I’m a senior producer that creates video content, photo content, podcasts, and graphics.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with No Frames?

The most recent project I worked with them on was a film shoot in Nashville. I had an issue sourcing the crew, and they took over to make it happen, working with all our other vendors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

My client for this project was a PR company that needed promotional and marketing materials for a hotel chain. We organized the preproduction and set it up. Some of our parameters were locked in, such as we had a certain amount of time constraints, the location, and the celebrity talent that was required. No Frames helped me secure everything I needed to make it happen, which allowed me to focus on what I needed to focus on.

My client provided the creative direction for the video, but No Frames helped me prepare for the video. They helped me get the necessary ingredients to make it happen: the people and the technical equipment (lights, cameras, etc.). The equipment was a combination of their own equipment and items they secured from vendors.

I handled the editing and sound myself.

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with their cinematographer, but Erin (Executive Producer) did some of the production work.

How much have you invested with them?

Our total video for the budget was around $25,000, and No Frames was paid around ¼ of that.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–April 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’re very consistent. I’ve known them for many years, and what makes them stick out from the rest is that they do production in many different places. Whenever I have to shoot outside of New York, they’re one of the first companies I reach out to. Even if I have to shoot outside the country, they have the resources to handle it. People loved the video, too. It was released on Instagram, TikTok, and more.

How did No Frames perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been awesome in this regard. It’s fun working with them. We didn’t use any project management tools, but we communicate over email, phone calls, and Google Meet. Since we work on location, we text each other as well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The fact that they can locate resources in many different places is awesome. A lot of vendors in this space work well in one place, but No Frames has established themselves in multiple places.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I come from working on big productions, so working on a smaller project for Instagram requires us to scale down and use a different approach. It can be hard to convince our clients to spend the money and time to work like this, but when they see the end product it’s all worth it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be prepared with what you know. Once the project begins, it’s easier to add to what you want if you already know what you want. It also makes it easier for an outside vendor to help you.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work as a senior strategist at Co-founders, a business consultancy based in Helsinki, Finland. In my work, I advise our clients on branding and company culture issues and create programs to solve those challenges.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire No Frames, and what were your goals?

We needed to produce a brand video for one of our global clients and No Frames was the right partner to co-create this.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were familiar with No Frames' work from before, as we had worked together on other video and film projects. We were convinced of the quality of their work and their dedication to each project.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

No Fames was in charge of directing and producing our client's brand video, based on our initial brief and the overall band strategy. We started with an initial concept for the video – which was then developed further by No Frames towards the end result. The team at No Frames worked on film direction and cinematography, casting actors in NY, scouting and booking locations, planning the filming days in Helsinki and NY, pre-selecting the voice over talent and selecting the soundtrack.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked directly with Mikko as a director and cinematographer, as well as with Erin as an executive producer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

No Frames delivered an outstanding brand video. Both we as a consultancy as well as our client loved the outcome!

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project management and communications were spot on throughout the entire process.

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

They were down-to-earth, flexible, friendly, and visionary. It is always a pleasure to work with them and I always feel inspired by the energy and ideas they bring to each project.

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

Frankly, there is nothing that I wish would have gone differently – and that is a lot due to the fact that their team is always open to feedback, flexible in thinking, ready to adjust and go the extra mile at any point. And that is all you need when you really work together as a team on a project. You go towards the finish line together and you are proud of the work you do. No Frames is that kind of a partner.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a creative director for thelab in charge of the Tempur/Sealy account. Our agency focuses on ecommerce sites along with strategically led traffic drivers to said sites that include, video, social, ooh, digital display, etc.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire No Frames, and what were your goals?

I routinely hire No Frames to manage the entire production process for me. They navigate the budget, hire crew, and work with me to find production talent (DPs/photographers/stylists), and on camera talent. No Frames also manages scheduling and all assistant AD efforts.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I've been working with them for years and they were initially refereed to me by an inter-company resource. Since then, they've been my first stop at getting a budget proposal and because of their competitiveness and honesty, I rarely have to get additional bids.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

I will get a ballpark production budget from the client and then myself and my creative team will ideate ideas based on the client needs. This is usually when I'd loop No Frames in to make sure I'm not proposing anything that may be out of reach. Once we get client signoff on the ideas, I'll put together a shot list and/or storyboards which I would walk No Frames through.

From there, No Frames can put together a cost estimate. The estimating phase usually involves getting anywhere from 2-5 estimate variations due to the creative/budget constraint give and take. Once we're aligned we'll then work with client inviting No Frames to the client calls to discuss our estimates and any concerns the clients may have. Once everything is aligned we'll work with No Frames on hiring a DP, set stylists, etc along with casting.

No Frames handles all the hiring, usage rights, and everything for everyone and once all the details are sorted, will ask for final confirmation before they book. On set, No Frames handles all the catering, PAs and generally handles any detail you could possibly want handled. They're really attentive and make sure any issues are quickly taken care of. The crew recommendations they provide have always panned out and their circle of talent is really great to work with.

I've never had any major issues on set with them. Problems arise, but they're quickly resolved. Post production is great too. They have no qualms providing me all the raw assets I need and they're always there should I have any questions or need help with anything.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

Erin is our main point of contact and she connects us with whomever else we need to speak with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Its too early for this specific project but our past projects have all performed at or better than expectations.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Extremely straightforward, very friendly, offers insights and suggestions that are geared toward project success and are very smart in their own right. They offer up several different means to communicate and I'm never left uncertain and waiting.

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

Honestly great on all fronts. They're intelligent, kind, and super assertive. They can figure anything out (seriously! I once asked for an elephant as just an idea and they figured out the logistics)

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

No, theyre much better than any other production company I've worked with.
