Specialty Areas:
Legal
Extensively experienced in creating video for litigation purposes,
including mediation and Day-in-the-Life productions. Experienced in
providing consultation/advice on best use of video to achieve a particular legal point.
We will take great care to make sure your video message effectively communicates
your case through compelling video and sound. Your case will be handled professionally,
courteously and in strictest confidence.
Medical
We have been very successful in creating easy to understand
productions explaining upcoming surgical procedures and
preparations necessary for patients to maximize their surgical
outcome. Our productions help ease a patient's anxiety about
an upcoming procedure, and allow the physician to convey
important information that may not get the attention desired
during a standard clinic visit.
Safety
First Frame's safety videos effectively communicate to workers
the need to stress safety during every minute on the job.
When presented on video, safety information has a much more
effective impact on employees since it shows possible job-site
hazards so much more vividly than any other medium.
Video is also proving to be an effective communications tool
for workers whose reading skills are poor, and also provides
assurances to an employer that the employee has viewed the
necessary material. We also create safety and training videos
in other languages.
Employee Orientation
Nothing gives employees a clearer understanding of their
work environment and administrative structure than actually
being able to see the people and offices where they will be
working. Our orientation videos allow employers to devote
exactly the amount of attention desired to each specific topic.
First Frame's orientation videos have included overviews of
company operations as well as specific information on
what's expected of workers as well as what they can expect
in their work environment.
Marketing
Whether it's a product you make or a service you want the
world to know about, nothing is more compelling or convincing
than video. We can help you with ideas to creatively
show and illustrate your message. An on-site demonstration
of your message isn't always feasible. But capturing your
demo on tape and allowing a potential client to view it at will
is easy and cost effective. Many businesses are discovering
that the cost to produce printed material (especially color)
is far outweighed by the power and flexibility and video.
A Frame video production will get your marketing message
across with impact!
Video News Releases
Our extensive experience in the broadcast television industry
uniquely qualifies us to assist in designing video news releases
that stand-out from the rest of the crowd. Getting publicity
on television newscasts isn't easy. But proper design of a
news release package goes a long way in helping make it attractive to
broadcasters for possible coverage. By drawing on our decades of broadcast
news expertise, we design
releases stations will feel compelled to air.
