As you understand, producing a government video is more than just, “Hey, Danny…make us a video…”.
You need to be conscious that the video looks good, hits your messaging, will be well received and either maintains or enhances your reputation…and not diminish it.
Is this where my tax dollars are going..?
Contractors must be chosen by who’s providing the best value for money. And that doesn’t always mean the cheapest quote…
Value is determined by the level of service, expertise, additional offerings as well as the reassurance that the team can deliver.
But that doesn’t mean you need to play it safe either…
I mean, why can’t your video not look like a boring corporate video..?
Im just heading downstairs for my paleo pear and banana bread. Care to join me..?
Just because we’re making a government video doesn’t mean it needs to be boring.
Government videos should look impressive!
The lighting should be both flattering and cinematic. And the messaging doesn’t need to be Ctrl C, Crtl V from a report.
Why can’t we have powerful messaging and cutting-edge editing to create an engaging, watchable video that will communicate your message effectively, while being publicly embraced?
DCS understands the strict rules and guidelines that a government video must follow.
Using the right fonts and colours, as well as adding captions for inclusive viewing.
It always has and always will be important to recognise country and to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which your government video was produced.
DCS works with many Aboriginal organisations so we understand the level of respect and standards that must be placed on each video.
Has Susie signed off on the script yet..?
To have your government video approved and published, it first needs to be run up the flagpole and many eyes of judgement cast upon it.
Typically this means more than 2 rounds of revision are required.
Most Canberra video production companies will quote up your brief with 2 rounds of revisions, then start the clock again before you even get a chance to show your exec team…
DCS understands the extended number of eyeballs needed to approve a government communication video and will not only be honest and transparent with pricing…
But we offer an ‘unlimited-free-revisions-until-ultimately-happy’ agreement.
This means you’ll never fear blowing the budget!
We also use collaborative feedback software so that revisions are easily marked up and everyone can see each other’s comments. This shortens the entire process.
And we need it done yesterday…
They never told us when we registered with ASIC that we would need to work outside hours and over weekends.
We learned that government videos can take time…
And sometimes it’s spent waiting on script approvals rather than pushing ahead.
We’ve been making videos since 2012 and we understand every step of the process. We have strong systems in place, where we proactively request assets and seek approvals early.
You’ll know exactly when you can expect to see each edit so the team is ready to review and keep charging ahead…
And for those times when the deadline is screaming at us, we aren’t afraid to work after hours to get your video published, on time.
Make me an offer I can’t refuse…
DCS is a full-service corporate video production company based in Canberra.
That means you can dump your brief on us and we can take it from there, or, we can become an extension of your team and work collaboratively to produce a series of videos.
The DCS crew are down to earth, easy to approach and open with communication. We’re driven by strong systems and processes that create masterful results.
The types of videos we can help you with are…
It has been a great experience working with the DCS team across video production jobs for the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA). They knocked it out of the park with the production quality. They had a clear understanding of our brand aesthetic and translated it really well across to the screen, weaving together different elements to create a cohesive and engaging story. The messaging in the videos resonated perfectly with our target audience.
Working with the DCS crew was a pleasure. They listened to our feedback, addressed our concerns, and made the entire video production process smooth.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DCS Video Productions to anyone looking for a high-quality video production company.
It’s beautiful Josh!
Looking Great!!
Just letting you know that all videos in the series have been signed off by our executive with no changes! Wonderful news!
Thank you so much to you and the team for all your patience and kindness with getting these four videos across the line. As always, it’s been an absolute pleasure (and fun) working with you all! You are super professional, made everyone feel at ease and produce excellent products.
