Make video production a commodity!

1. Diffusing videos on the web has become a commodity through platforms like Youtube, Dailymotion, Seesmic, Mogulus (live)…
2. Demand for Professional videos/content is booming : corporate videos, informative videos, educational videos, PR videos, Marketing videos, Buzz videos… Every single company will need to produce at least one video for their own website.
3. Producing videos has clearly not yet become a commodity. THAT IS THE MISSING POINT IN THE ONLINE VIDEO BOOM

So here’s the customer pain we’re trying to figure out even if it’s not express because not already offered on the market.

Why are Videos still complicated and expensive to produce?

The video production market is over crowded, there’s no transparency about pricing/quality and, at the end, the costs are really high (Traditional production companies charge you for their inefficiency + margin on a freelance / Agencies charge you for their creativity on top of production companies…).

Those who need to produce videos need fast and reliable information about hiring the best profiles to produce their content at best cost.

On Youtube, Veoh and all these platforms, how do you find the good ones?

Imagine how great it would be to find a reliable filmmaker to get footage abroad without spending tons of money sending someone over. Imagine how amazing it would be to find the perfect creative guys to produce a viral video ad from their past experience. Imagine you’re a baker and want to find all the videographers in your area and, more specifically, the ones who create videos for bakeries…

At Videoagency we are clearly convinced that the video product market needs more transparency to help the online video production market explode in the coming years.

Commoditizing the video production market by creating transparency is our Vision. So that’s why we’re creating the biggest filmmaker network in the World with currently 4000+ filmmakers in 80 countries and more than 2000 cities and counting.

We want to become a central point between the ones who need to produce videos and the ones who produce videos.

I would love to get feedback from you about this?

Filmmakers, we need you: Trivop is picking up steam!

Published February 4th, 2008 in Breaking News, Filmmakers | No Comments »

I always dreamed to do more and to go deeper into a project. When I launched Trivop, I envisioned that there would be a huge need for people to ’see’ their hotel in video before booking online. When I look at how video on the internet is developing, I am certain that every hotel will have a video online by 2010.

Now I wonder how we at Trivop could move even faster… Since our launch just a few months ago we have produced hundreds of hotel videos worldwide, and I must admit that we have acquired a unique ‘know-how’.

Producing so many videos from scratch in just a few months has probably never been done before. We were able to achieve this thanks to a great team, our talented filmmakers and a very unique workflow tool which we developed to manage the process.

Trivop’s hotel videos have already helped hundreds of travelers choose their hotels, but there are many more to come! How can we move faster and bring more transparency to travelers?

This is where you come in… If you have any ideas to help us get more hotel videos on Trivop, I’m your man: thomas@trivop.com

Demand for videos is growing rapidly and Trivop is intent to meet this demand. This operation is codenamed ‘VideoAgency‘ and you, our valued travelers and filmmakers, will all be a part of it. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting new development.

PS: I just had an idea!! I’m also going to ask the thousands of filmmakers and production companies in our database :-)
