Hi all! Curious to know if anyone has adopted a customer video strategy with a good, better, best approach with accompanying tools and vendors. For example:
• Good: non strategic, small customer but still a good story to capture. Approach: remote video capture for the interview with something better quality than Zoom. Use stock video footage or existing corporate videos from customer for b-roll. Any suggestions for remote video capture tools or low cost agencies?
• Better: strategic customer and great story. Approach: on site filming with our internal video and creative team, and local videographer. Budget $10k-$15k
• Best: big brand, good or great story. Approach: video production agency, full day shoot. Budget $25-$30k. Any suggestions for agencies?

You might try Jolean Olson at Scenic Road for your higher-end options. We worked with her team a lot at Sage.

@Shelly Ryder for option #1, if you're doing it completely yourself, Riverside is a good option to get way better video quality than Zoom/Teams/Google Meet, etc.

Thanks @Dan Kalmar We do use that currently.
