How to Succeed with a Production Company

Creation at scale

Kickstarter, youtube, TV, you name it. With our ability to build, shape, and easily iterate on large volumes of film materials for any industry, you can create a single film day once, then recreate and integrate the results into a sequence of related movies for various platforms. The benefit of archival contents means you can keep working on footage long after the finish date: 1 video film-day with Start Motion Media can sometimes produce content for  3-7 final videos. 

Smooth collaboration

Our studio makes it possible for business owners and entrepreneurs at every point of the marketing pipeline to share the passions of their industry and see changes immediately.  Take the leap and see beneficial creative outcomes everywhere – web, advertising, print and more.

Faster Production

We have shared resource libraries and editors in cities across the US.  With accelerated rendering options for automated feedback and iteration on the main video idea, Start Motion Media makes it possible to deliver shots, scenes, and entire films in days instead of months.

Smarter Decision Making

No more discovering mistakes too late – or agonizing over trying to fix something in post. Start Motion Media equips clients to see how your shots might look alongside the script, and we design our plan to easily make the tweaks you need before the film day. 

Nonprofit and Socially Conscious

The unheard voice is the most resilient, for its story must be told. Yet many times, these necessary stories remain beneath the surface.  We represent socially conscious projects, NGO’s, and B-corps to tell their stories first hand.  Our famous “unscripted” work for nonprofits is by far the most intimate view into how beneficiaries and donors alike can get a glimpse of what you do.

Online Marketing for Kickstarter or Indiegogo

Regardless of format or texture, one thing is certain: marketing video is the most consumed advertorial on the planet. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Your own website, all of it talking to a consumer who prefers video 80% of the time when it comes to information. Online marketing videos for ecommerce, launching a business or running a kickstarter are crucial.  Even content creators struggle to keep up with the output. Let us take your online marketing to the next level. 

Kickstarter Video Production

We got our start this way, in 2009, with our first $100k funded within a couple years.  After securing our spot in the Kickstarter hall of fame with a unique travel movie that earned $9million dollars, we call backers and the indiegogo and gofundme platforms friends.  A fundraising video, that also launches a product, is a unique thing.  We’ve got it down to a science.

Branding

More than ever before, customers are demanding a coherent company image — a look and feel.  It turns out a simple situation with a unique perspective is all it takes to begin gathering fans for your brand.  Many first time branding videos miss the point – to explain your value and product is a waste of time in viewer’s eyes.  They want to be surprised. They want to feel what you feel.  A branding video supports any company, large or small, to take a big step forward.

Startup Fundraising

So you’ve got a pitch deck and fundraising is still missing?  Most VS have less than 1 min for new pitches. If you can reach them, on their terms, then you’ve got a shot at another series check, or to find an angel or cofounder.  We feel early-stage, ideas-driven companies deserve the look and feel of the biggest brands. Our startup fundraising videos reflect and empower viewers to see the value of your company. 

YouTube Ads

The only way left to succeed in the world of visual social networks is to have unique, custom content, to pitch your services and share your brand.  Simple explainer videos fade away before a new wave of “tour guide” and “unboxing” videos – but when it comes to youtube for advertising we know best. Your script really matters.  Let us help you make your viewers relax and be inspired.

Social Media

 Tik tok. Instagram. Snap chat. A few years ago these platforms were relatively unknown.  Now they are the fastest growing sector of video viewership for ages 40 and under. The “Stories” ad space (video only) is fresh , clean, and relatively low competition.  A social media presence on stories, instagram, and tik tok, are a must for high quality paid traffic.
