Effective image-building TV ads...

Pre-production
This is the blueprint stage of an ad -- script writing, shot list generation, selecting background music, determining what animation will be useful, choosing a format to shoot on, scheduling talent, locations, lighting, cameras and crew.

Kodiak Video Productions can even provide editing services for written copy or brochures.  Call today for a quote or price list of services.

Production
During this stage we gather the raw materials -- footage from the scheduled shoots on location or in the studio, recording the narration and/or original music, designing and rendering the animation.

Kodiak Video Productions camera operators use a Sony DSR200 DV cam with Bogen tripod and Photoflex softbox lights.  Second camera is a Canon GL1.  We can also recommend professional voice-over and on-camera talent (see "Talent").   

Post-production
With everything collected we build the project -- footage is digitized and edited, titles are inserted, special effects are incorporated, and after a rough and then final review, the master program is duplicated to the desired final format.

Kodiak Video Productions can help with your editing project.  We use a state of the art Avid DV Express on a Windows NT IBM Intellistation.  For longer, non-critical projects we have an Avid Media Suite Pro digital editing system with tape back-up.  We can provide you a VHS time code window dub for off-line review of the raw footage and we can output to Beta. 3/4, SVHS, DVCAM, CD or VHS.

Radio Ads
A sixty second high impact radio ad that compliments the TV ad campaign can really drive home your message.  Clients have been amazed that radio actually does get results when done well.  Let us mail you a CD of some of our work so you can "hear" for yourself the difference a well-done radio ad makes.

We can write your ad or if you already have a script prepared, email or fax it to us or give us a call .  We'll record them with a Sennheiser MD421 mic then edit and send them back via email, mini-disk, cassette, CD,  or on ZIP disks as AIFF, WAV, or mp3 files.
