Video Production
Frequently Asked Questions

As professional producers of videos for nearly two decades, we get asked a lot of the same questions. Here are some of the most popular questions we hear from a video production standpoint.

How much does it cost to make a video?

This is a million-dollar question! Videos come in all shapes and sizes. The answer depends on multiple things such as whether we’re filming in one location or several, how large of a crew we need, and the amount of time needed to capture the footage. 

 

Instead of giving a blanket price, we like to meet with you to learn more about the goals of your project based on your wants and needs. We try to provide our best recommendations with the most effective content that works within your budget. 

How long does it take to make a video?

Videos can take a few hours for simple interviews and b-roll shoots for things like a company culture or hiring video. We could also spend up to a few weeks on more complex productions like bond proposals, ad campaigns, or kickstarter videos. We can give you an accurate timeline based on your project’s scope of work and our current workload.

What’s included in a videoshoot?

Kzoom utilizes state-of-the-art  4K video cameras, professional grip equipment, and the latest in digital editing software to produce the best possible productions to date. We continually invest in new kit and software to stay up-to-date with the rapidly changing standards of the industry. 

 

We offer a couple of packages based on budgetary needs which typically include 1 or 2 camera people, drone usage, pro audio equipment, LED lighting kits, boom microphones, and more. All video packages include a complete edit of your video project with the addition of text, logos, and music (including the purchase of music copyrights) with rounds of revisions and delivery of the master video file available for download through our online platform. For more complex filming requirements we may also recommend extra crew members, such as additional camera operators, a sound recordist, or an emcee if we’re producing a live stream production. These will all be costed separately in our quote.

 

Our team of experts work with you to complete your video project from start to finish. That means we can help you write your script, manage all the pre-production (including things like sourcing voice-over talent or creating 2D and 3D animations) production, and post-production. We can even work with you on strategizing how to get the most use out of your video productions through social media and advertising campaigns! 

Do you add voice-overs?

Not every project requires professional voice-overs, but when it does, we will research and select a range of different talent voice-over samples for you to choose from based on your goals for the project. 

Does Kzoom have an in-house team of videographers?

Kzoom is a full-service video production company with 4 expert videographers on staff. Our other Kzoom employees are experts in photography, graphic design, and content marketing and will jump in on projects that require specialty roles as needed. We typically serve companies and nonprofit organizations in a 100-mile radius around Kalamazoo, Michigan. 

Can I supply you with the footage and edit it?

Absolutely! We can download your raw footage from a hard drive or you can upload footage to an online cloud service like Dropbox and then our post-production team gets to work editing your project. We use Vimeo to easily manage the revisions process.

Do you keep copies of your projects?

Yes! We store any footage and all project files for a minimum of five years. We are happy to update video productions if you have changed your branding or need to update facts about your business. We love any opportunity to work with our clients for a second or third time and are happy to reuse footage for new projects if the client asks us to. 

Why should I hire Kzoom?

Kzoom has the infrastructure and staff to manage multiple projects at once, ensuring you always have our attention. You can rest easy knowing you have a dedicated team that values serving the greater causes and who is ready to capture footage or edit videos at a moment’s notice.
