Question 1

Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

I have full liability insurance and I guarantee my work. I can do this, because I will be honest with you from the start about how the concept will work when it is delivered as a video. If I don't believe in the concept, I wont do it... the camera doesn't come out of the bag until we're all on the same page and believe in the job together.

Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

I started off just casually creating video content. Then it sucked me in to a full blown love, leading me to quit my career and invest 100% in video production which I have now been working in professionally for just on 15 years.

Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

I love it when people see the camera rolling, but they don't actually see what the camera sees. The way the scene is lit and how it comes together in the edit, then showing it to the client and seeing their surprise at how it came out. Always very gratifying. Hearing that you have exceeded expectations is incredibly rewarding.

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

My favorite part is ALL OF IT!! Locking down the concept, then breaking it down to all the practical components so we can start shooting. Then bringing it into the edit and seeing it come together. That final delivery to a happy client is a rush!

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

Look at previous examples of their work. There's a lot of people who can talk a big game, but you can't hide behind that forever. Do you like what they've shot, and is it of a quality that you would like your product or service being represented by.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

The most common question I get asked is "how much does a video cost?" To answer that, I need to know the concept in detail and how that breaks-down. As you can imagine, there are many variables in producing a video e.g. does it need paid actors/models/animals, how many locations and what type of locations, are extra crew needed, what are the sound recording requirements, is there a need for props etc. I am honest about these costs and whether an idea needs tweaking to produce an effective video.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

Because I have super human powers and incredibly good looks. Also, I cause birds to sing and flowers to shine as I walk by :)

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

Complete video production service from concept to shooting, editing and final delivery. Just on 15 years of experience providing quality videos: www.dennismurphyvisuals.com.au

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

I quote based on the initial concept, which informs us on how many locations, actors, equipment and other components are required to deliver a quality video. Every video is different, but I always look for solutions to keep costs down without affecting quality.

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

The most critical aspect of any video is the underlying concept/script. This informs the rest of process e.g. what gear is used, how it is shot and what is required in the edit. Having a clear idea about what you want delivered will greatly speed up the process, thereby keeping costs to a minimum.

Question 11

Are there any special offers you would like to offer to Oneflare customers?

Accepted Answer

Often, social media videos require follow up videos to strengthen brand and market awareness. We always give discounts for multiple videos as part of a marketing campaign roll-out.

Question 12

What makes your pricing competitive?

Accepted Answer

How your product or service is represented to the public will greatly rely on the quality of the video being produced, and whether or not the message is on point. There's some things that you just can't cut corners financially, but we can avoid exorbitant expenses through shrewd planning and optimizing for efficiency.

Question 13

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

A video can be as expensive as you want to make it, but I specialize in wringing out as much production value while keeping the costs low. I've been doing this for over a decade and have learnt a few tricks :)

Question 14

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in social media video content that provides high production values for the price. I target videos that are 60 seconds or less as this is a video that can be used on Instagram and other social media platforms, but this doesn't mean I do not shoot longer form content.

Question 15

What experience, skills, qualifications or training do you have to make you the right person for the job?

Accepted Answer

I have over a decade of working with Directors, Agencies, Non-Profits, Corporates and Businesses. When you've been putting video productions together for that long and over a wide variety of projects, you learn lots of little tricks that help squeeze as much out of a budget as possible without sacrificing quality.
