Prolific Studio

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founding director for SecureX Technologies, a benevolent blockchain company that is releasing its premier product, the SecureSovereign.com platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Prolific Studio, and what were your goals?

To complete the tech stack build of our SecureSovereign platform, we launched an indiegogo crowd funding campaign and needed an Explainer Video for that purpose.

SOLUTION

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

We liked some of the sample Explainer Videos that Prolific Studio displays on their website.

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

The staff at Prolific Studio are quite intuitive. We gave them our proposed outline, they provided feedback to tighten it up into an allowable amount of video time, we agreed on a revised outline, provided some sample product screen shots, and they ran with it. Really no alterations required in content and completed with on the first iteration. Amazing!

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

I worked with Kamal Hasan who was very thorough.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Staff likes it. We'll see how the consumer likes it as our campaign continues as of this writing.

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

Project management was quick and to the point. Emails back and forth only a few times enabled the creation of our Explainer Video.

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

I liked that they managed my expectations phenomenally. They were able to deliver much quicker than promised. The initial iteration (without professional voice over, which came in the 2nd iteration) only took a few days and I was expecting at least a week.

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

Nothing could or should be done differently. We will use them again.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an independent musician.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

I needed their video production services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio produced an animated music video to help me promote my new song. I wanted to veer away from standard performance music videos, so I relayed my particular needs to their team. 

I crafted the storyboard and plotted out four different scenes that I wanted to see in the video. Prolific Studio then handled the entire production stage with my design preferences in mind. 

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact was their project manager.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I found them on Google while searching for potential animation studios to onboard for this project. They were included in my shortlist, and I ended up choosing them after seeing their project manager’s enthusiasm. Additionally, they had a reasonable and flexible price point.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $3,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from July–August 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I didn’t have any quantitative metrics in mind when I launched the video — it was mainly intended for my family and friends. However, I could confirm that everyone approved of it, particularly liking the unconventional and lighthearted vibe it gave off.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated via email and phone calls. Prolific Studio was a responsive team, and they were always receptive to feedback.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was impressed with their accommodating and communicative approach — I always felt that my opinions were valued throughout the engagement.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would’ve appreciated a more transparent workflow. Personally, I prefer to be more involved in such projects, so I would’ve liked it if I knew who was in charge of implementing the creative solutions instead of hearing it from the project manager.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to impart valuable and detailed feedback that their team can refer to. Prolific Studio is a responsive team, and they’ll appreciate it if you openly communicate with them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a start-up sports nutrition company. We're in route to become industry leaders.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Prolific Studio, and what were your goals?

I hired Prolific Studio to create a commercial video to release on social media. The primary goal was to produce a professional and effective commercial and we achieved just that.

SOLUTION

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

I selected Prolific Studio because of their experience and reputation.

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

The process was simple and seamless. I engaged with Kamal (my account manager) and we discussed a strategy on how to get my vision onto a video. With my guidance and their skills, we produced a great commercial.

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

I worked with Kamal. The feedback process was direct and to the point (The way I like it). He offered any service I needed to get the job done and was transparent with pricing. We turned out this video in about a month.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I haven't launched the commercial video yet, but the feedback I receive from viewers is positive and suggests a desirable response.

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

Kamal worked aggressively to get my video out quickly. I never had an issue with the timeline. Communication was effective and concise.

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

This company offered options every step of the way of the video production. That paired reasonable pricing and quality work made me feel like there was a great value.

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

I can't think of anything. They exceeded my expectations.

They were efficient and did a great job. We communicated via text and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

My contact was a rockstar. He was clear and professional. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The script could’ve been better regarding grammar and language. I was more involved in it than I expected to be. I thought they would have presented more elaborate scripts to me.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend working with them, they’re terrific. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and chief speaker of a motivational speaker organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

I needed someone to do a whiteboard video for my business and publish it on social media.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio came up with a video I liked. At first, I sent them the goals I was trying to achieve with this partnership; then, I answered some questions about the project. I also sent them my website so they could see my content, such as images, to help them produce the video.

What is the team composition?

Kamal (Head of Business) is my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I reached out to them because they sent me an email saying they had a promotional with reasonable pricing on their animation and whiteboard videos. I talked to them, and they walked me through the process.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $500 with them so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven’t released the video yet, but they do a great job. 

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They promised and over-delivered; they said it’d take two weeks to deliver, and it took them around a week. In terms of communication, we email back and forth to answer my questions and oversee any changes I need to make to the video. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with how the project is going and its turnaround.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could put more thought into learning about the background of their clients to make sure they’re delivering a product that they identify with.

Any advice for potential customers?

Make sure that you know what you want to do and accomplish.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

I was looking for a video with narrative and music to describe my creation. In addition, we wanted to present it to various audiences and the general public.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Before they started the project, I gave them some information, and Prolific Studio created a storyboard, got my approval, and produced an animation video.

What is the team composition?

The team comprises about three dozen people.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I received an email and interviewed them. They had a bunch of marketing videos and information. After that, I made a determination contract with them.

How much have you invested with them?

The video was $12,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2021, and the relationship is ongoing. We entered an agreement for website development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m still waiting for my exclusive rights for the video, so I haven’t shown or shared it with people. Nonetheless, the result was great, and I’m satisfied with it.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate through emails, phone, and text messages.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was pleased with the communication process. If I have any problem, my line of communication is key. They make sure that I’m being heard.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They tried to explain their process to me, but I was kind of disappointed with the voiceover. I thought a professional would be able to come up with something rather than have me doing all the revisions. Also, I was left out on some selections. However, they delivered what I asked them to — a video that mesmerizes the viewer into a wow factor.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear on your objective and what you want so you don’t have to go through many changes. Try to get the storyboard approved the way you want it. There’s no sense in spending money or going further until it’s approved, but if something changes after it’s been accepted, then there are subsequent changes. Also, if you want to embellish or change something, it’s more difficult to do so as you’ve moved further along, so speak up earlier in the creation process.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of SWEAT IT OUT® COOL COMPRESSION®. We make compression garments to help people recover from muscle injuries.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

Most people don’t stop to read the labels on their clothing. They listen to commercials or statements or posts or pictures and then make their decision. Further, young kids are growing up wearing clothes made by big brands that don’t care about their health; they only care about promoting their logo. We wanted to explain to people that our compression garments can prevent muscle injury and help them rehabilitate much quicker than they would without them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio created an animated video for us. I explained to them what I was looking for — I wrote what I wanted the voiceover to be, and they created everything surrounded it. After two weeks, they showed me what they had, and I told them what to correct or how to correct things that I thought could be improved.

We cut the video down to 36 seconds, which included a slide at the end with information about how to purchase the product.

What is the team composition?

Kamal (Head of Business Development) was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I saw an advertisement on the internet about animation, and I thought animation would communicate my products’ value well because people watch a lot of cartoons and animation.

Kamal contacted me, and from day one, he was more than outstanding in the way he treated us and understood us.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $2,000 on the video.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from February–March 2021. We’re preparing to launch the video on social media.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of the work was a ten, and the impact it will bring to me is an unknown factor. I like what Prolific Studio did, and the fact that I liked it has nothing to do with whether the public will understand it.

There are so many videos out there today, so I am looking for a 5% return on people watching the video.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Kamal was available every time I called. He sent me emails and text messages; his messages were personable, and he understood how busy I was. Monday’s are complicated days for me, as I’m managing customers for the first time since the weekend, and Kamal knew not to expect too much communication from me on Mondays.

In general, they made sure that I received everything I needed to review and provide feedback on.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Prolific Studio’s service, understanding, listening, and communication were great. In fact, their communication was better than that of everyone else I talked to. Communication causes 90% of issues, and Prolific Studio was perfect.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’ll find out when we put the video on social media.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Go ahead and work with them. Kamal will keep you in good hands with animation projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

They created an animated white-board video. It had a narrator and music since it’s a musical app.

What is the team composition?

I worked with one project manager from their team.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

They sent me an email and I took a look at some of their other videos. It looked like exactly what I needed, so I decided to choose them.

How much have you invested with them?

I spent $2,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our work took place in June 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The promotion for the app has been going well. My whole goal was to obtain the money for licensing, since the app is music-related, which I accomplished. We also got very good view numbers when we ran the ad on Facebook.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They were really responsive, and they got everything from the script right immediately. Whenever I made comments for improvement, they changed it quickly. We communicated via phone and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was quick and responsive. I needed this done on a tight deadline, and they were able to get it done.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’m happy with it. It was especially great for the price.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you communicate what you want, they’ll probably be able to make it happen.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a company that provides web development, digital marketing, and logo design services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Prolific Studio?

We had multiple client design projects that we needed help with. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Prolific Studio did a logo design for our company. For our clients, they’ve done logo, web development, and animated video projects. I’m the middleman; I take the projects from our clients and give them to Prolific Studio.

What is the team composition?

We deal with one account manager. He updates me on the work, which he gets done with his production team.

How did you come to work with Prolific Studio?

I found them online. 

How much have you invested in them?

Overall, I’ve given them $10,000–$15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started with them last year, although I don’t remember the exact month; I would say it was in the first quarter. We’re still working together and will be for the long term.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

My clients have been happy. I would say there is a 95% satisfaction rating for the work that Prolific Studio has done for my clients. So far, my experience has been terrific with them.

How did Prolific Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

I like their process; it is very smooth and easy, and you don’t have to run after them or keep sending them emails. They just get the work done quickly and deliver on time. They send updates within 24 hours and do revisions on the website within 2–3 hours. Their process is terrific.

We communicate through email, text message, and WhatsApp. I always get a quick reply from them; they are really responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been most impressed by their design and website development capabilities. I would say they are the best agency I know at creative layout. I have dealt with other companies with templates and basic designs, but when I send Prolific my requirements, they come up with a whole new thing. They are creative.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should improve on the marketing side of things. I have given them one marketing project, and it was okay. I wouldn’t give them a 10 out of 10 for that, but rather, a 7 out of 10.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with them; they are good. They’re not the best at digital marketing at the moment, but everything else is good.

If you are involved the project will go smoothly and I have full confidence that Prolific Studios will produce what your looking for.
