Many people think if they need a promotional video that the video company has to be in the same town they live in. 
The internet has changed the way video production has to be made. Many times, we can work with you over email and phone on the script, and then either hire a local crew to shoot you or we can handle the whole production in our studios in Nashville. This is why we work so well for small businesses that may not have a large budget to fly around a camera crew. Because we work together on the script and storyboard, we can shoot the video anywhere and you don’t need to be on set, because you know exactly what the end product will be. This saves you time and money on travel expenses.
