For our advertisements, Origin Films was given the task of producing both the photography and the videos. The first time we worked together, it was very difficult since we had to coordinate a project remotely from New York to a shoot in Los Angeles. Meghan, the producer, made it easy for us to work with a local crew that could meet the demands of the shoot, even though they were far away. High-quality video content had to be produced for the project featuring two celebrity ambassadors, which increased complexity and called for careful preparation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

There were two main areas where the project was clearly successful. First off, our client was ecstatic about the films and images that Origin Films had created, complimenting the caliber and originality of the work.

Second, it says volumes about the constant caliber and dependability Origin Films brings to the table that we are still turning to them for our next projects.

The project management abilities of Origin Films were outstanding. Whether it was revising the project scope, the money, or the schedules, they demonstrated an amazing ability to adapt to changes. They managed a remote project, which presented obstacles, but they communicated in a timely, transparent, and efficient manner. 
The process went more smoothly since they were accommodating enough to use WhatsApp when necessary, even though we primarily talked via email and Google Meet. They were a dependable partner because of their dedication to providing work on schedule without sacrificing quality.

Their adaptability in the face of unforeseen difficulties and readiness to accommodate last-minute modifications were also very noteworthy. They appeared to be just as interested in our success as we were.

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

In all honesty, we were unable to identify any areas that required improvement. Origin Films constantly went above and beyond our expectations in terms of both the caliber of the job and their demeanor. They have raised the bar for what we expect from a production partner, and we anticipate working with them on many more fruitful projects in the future.

Origin Films makes the complex process of making TV ads easy to follow from beginning to end.

Their proficiency in fine-tuning the content to meet certain deadlines was invaluable.

Shawn Will Film is a Vancouver-based video production company that creates engaging videos quickly. I'm the founder and producer.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Origin Films, and what were your goals?

Capturing interviews for an online investor campaign video. We needed someone to make sure the footage and audio was captured flawlessly and beautifully, and that the subjects were interviewed with care and curiosity.

SOLUTION

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

I was searching through Google to find a last-minute option. I browsed through dozens of websites and instagram pages. I was looking for a portfolio of well-crafted cinematography and strong editing. I also needed to find someone who worked in a similar field, who would understand the methodology of telling a corporate story.

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

A campaign video is conceptualized, and then a list of ideas is distilled into a rough script. The script is broken out into sections, or threads, and then questions are generated to prompt the interviewees to comment on the specific areas. Other video elements are storyboarded, scheduled and captured.

All of the media is gathered and edited based upon the script, and then the final version is found as a result of numerous blind reviews and refinement.

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

I worked with Project Manager, Danny. He was attentive and inquisitive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We gained hours of beautifully-captured interviews that will be woven into the video.

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

This was a different timeline, as the project was urgent (day of first contact). Danny received my call and requested on-site contacts. He kept everyone up to date on timelines, and offered to be available further than my needs required.

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

They had an effective call directing service. During the setup of production, Danny sent a mobile video of the setup, describing the tools and capture settings. They offered proxies upon delivery, speeding up the editing process.

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

Not that I can note at this time. I imagine it would be an add-on service that they may offer, but synced video with a light colour grade would be great.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The Clinica is a beauty brand that has a cosmetic clinic, as well as an e-comm shop that sells beauty products. I am a Video Content Manager for the brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Origin Films, and what were your goals?

Starting January 2021, The Clinica wanted to create content that resonates with our audience. Video is a very effective format to tell stories and so we were looking to scale our content production with video.

SOLUTION

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

We researched online for video production companies based in Toronto and specifically looked for those that could handle all aspects of production (from start to finish). As we also had plans to do regular shoots, we wanted a company that is reliable, able to deliver on a quick timeline and can do so on our budget. After speaking to Origin Films, they were able to do all of that.

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

Since working with Origin Films, we've been able to release multiple videos on our various social channels. As I am the Content Manager, I start the production process with ideas for videos that reflect The Clinica's goals and messaging. From there, I would take the idea to Origin Films and they would then advise on how they think is the best way to approach it (from a narrative perspective, and also technical). Origin Films are very easy going and open to all ideas.

After the ideas for content has been confirmed, Origin Films would create a technical plan (for gear, lighting set up, etc) and would help find and book a set if needed for that specific shoot. Day of production, Origin Films handles all aspects of recording - directing, operating cameras, lighting and recording audio. In terms of post, they have reliable editors that are communicative and capable of quick turnarounds. Origin Films are very respectful of company deadlines and have always been able to meet them.

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

The Clinica are very happy with the quality of video that Origin Films have been able to deliver. Working with Origin have been a very smooth process, and they are always open to feedback. Whenever I have to give edit notes or feedback, they are quick to make the changes I've asked for or help troubleshoot wherever needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our YouTube channel has been able to consistently put out content that promotes our brand's messaging. The videos are also shared on our other social platforms like Instagram and TikTok and have gotten 1000s in total views.

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

Origin Films are very communicative and easy to reach. They often take initiative in setting up meetings and times to connect and follow up. They've also go out of their way to provide resources to help the projects that we're working on.

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

Origin Films are really great at diving head first into projects, even in areas where they may not have covered before (like cosmetic treatments). They show great passion and initiative, with a willingness to learn and accommodate. They also really impressed me with how at ease and confident they make me feel before every production day. I can always trust their team to deliver high-quality work.

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

If I had to choose an area for improvement, I would encourage them to take even more initiative in the pre and post production process to help think of ways to elevate the content in more ways than was originally planned!

The video is set in a club where the story follows a guy who notices a girl trying to get his attention. The guy acts like he isn’t interested but inside his mind he actually is. The process of creating the video involved story boarding and visiting the set before hand to better understand the story and what shots will be used.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Origin Films was able to being a photographer, an Assistant Director, and of course themselves which included a director and camera op.
