where to find a video maker

good source of video making companies

[smallcompany]

I need promotional videos that would be featured on a site, YouTube, etc.
Videos are to be made in U.S. and I wonder how to find a few companies or individuals that I could explore and choose from.

Thanks

smallcompany,

Try searching for "promotional video production" I found a lot that seem to match your requirements.

Thanks "traveling cat".

What are the price ranges that any of you come across if you want a video that covers a product or service. One to few minutes long.

For example, I want a serial of 5 video, each around 3-5 minutes, about some software product or TV service.

Thanks

email each of them explaining your project ..ask for quotes ( they may well charge to quote or to speak to you if they are any good ..they may also run backgrounds checks to see if you have the money to be considered serious ) ..lot of wannabee shakiras out there ..and time spent replying to "how much" is money :)

prices can range from a few thousand $ per video ( you dont want these guys ..you can usually do better yourself ) to a few million $ per video ( and if you could afford these guys you wouldnt be asking here )..3 to 5 min clip

PS ..you tend as elsewhere to get what you pay for ..

or there is DIY

No luck for me then. I'm not in the area of service so no DIY.

i guess you can try digital point forum and arrange a contest for your desired video.
Just post details of what you want and arrange a contest and and then choose a winner. Prize range can be between $500 if you have that much budget.

Interesting... and it sounds like it may do it.

My guess is that Adobe Premiere is way more than you can use. Look into the Ulead package.
