What was the scope of their involvement?
We've worked with them for several years, and we usually reach out a month or two before the graduation date. They provide an estimate for their services each year, and they have a good working understanding of what we want from year to year. They shot the entire ceremony, which they then cut into digestible segments. Those pieces could be posted to YouTube.
VISIONSOUND gets multiple camera shots of the stage, the audience, and processional and recessional. They add subtitles and captions, complete all the editing, and transition all the content to the proper channels. In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, we provide information about the schedule and anything that might change last minute. They do all the heavy lifting on the day, and are always pretty self-sufficient. They know who they need to work with, and they capture all the moments we want them to highlight.
About two weeks after the event, they send an edited version. We make comments, and they go through a few rounds of edits. Once everything is approved, they send the final versions for our use. The entire ceremony is broken up into 15- to 20-minute segments.
What is the team composition?
We have one main point of contact.
How did you come to work with VISIONSOUND?
We did an online search for local companies that were easy to work with and within our budget. Their payment process was flexible, which worked with our complex invoicing procedures. They gave us all the information we needed and were accessible before and after the events.
What is the status of this engagement?
We've worked together for at least six years, and the bulk of the work happens in May each year.
A large portion of the student body is international, and VISIONSOUND creates impactful documentation to share with family members. VISIONSOUND is responsive, quick, and friendly, and their expertise and professionalism yield good results.
