VIDEO PRODUCTION

Pacific Producers Group is experienced and fully equipped to handle your video production needs. We take pride in our research and scriptwriting, shoot high quality visuals, and edit with creativity and rhythm. Original music? Professional narration? Custom motion graphics? Computer animation? No problem! PPG has you covered from pre-production to post-production — in a variety of formats. We've produced many different types of videos to meet a wide variety of needs. Some categories of our video productions include:

Corporate Marketing

Is your story being told? If your company needs to increase its exposure, improve its image, or maximize its marketing dollar, video presents the best bang for the buck. Whether it's a DVD aimed at other businesses in your field, or a looping video displayed to the public during trade shows, video allows you to give your best sales pitch, an extensive tour of your facility, a stunning presentation of your manufacturing process, or a chance to see your complete line of services/products in action - all in one small package. Clients aren't nearby? Send them a DVD by mail, e-mail a link to your video, or post it on online for all to view! Many are also using social media and video sharing sites, like Facebook and Youtube, to share their videos, and are putting those same corporate videos into their Yellow Pages online campaigns with short 1 minute corporate video business profiles.

Web Video

Given the unprecedented access the public has to the internet, and the success of video-based websites like YouTube, Hulu, and Vimeo, web video represents a cost-effective way to reach your audience. Ad space in online directories like the Yellow Pages can also feature web videos. Save media, mail, and printing costs with this effective communication tool. Let PPG help you create a new video for the web - or convert your existing video to any format you prefer: Quicktime, Windows Media, RealTime, Flash Video -- or into an HD variant such as H.264.

Employee Training & Orientation

Using Human Resources departments and company managers to train each new employee is redundant and terribly inefficient. Why not use video to train new employees or update current ones on new company policies or safety initiatives? Minimize employee error and work-related accidents by letting PPG create a training video that delivers complete and correct standards and procedures 100 percent of the time - and in a medium that is infinitely repeatable! We can also duplicate any amount of Blu-Rays or DVDs so that copies can be taken home by your staff, or the training videos can be hosted and streamed from your company server or website. If you experience a high turnover rate, or your field is one that requires strict adherence to safety standards, video is a great way to streamline your training: it's a win-win solution.

Video can also be used to present a tour of your facilities, a breakdown of your departments and their functions, and to show your company at work. It can be on public display in your building's reception area, as part of an employee orientation, as the backbone of a presentation to franchisees, or even as a company morale booster during an annual meeting.

Instructional Video

No one likes reading a manual. The beauty of video is that we can see and hear exactly how to perform a task or use a product - or understand how the product works. The benefit to you? Although educational, instructional videos can also be indirect marketing tools. Success using your product or technique equals more satisfied customers, and that results in repeat clients and good word-of-mouth for you and your product. Examples run the gamut from video manuals for home improvement products and applicances, to practice videos for martial arts students, to dog obedience videos - the list is endless! And of course, your video can be delivered online, in-store, or packaged with a product.

Conferences/Seminars/Lectures

Got a workshop or lecture you want recorded - or enhanced? PPG can capture or create! If there's an upcoming conference or seminar that needs to be documented - or you want to create an unforgettable one with the power of video enhancing your presentation - then give us a call. We've also helped authors and workshop presenters create supplementary DVD videos of their workshops as an additional revenue-generating tool!

Documentaries & Biographies

Non-fiction video is a versatile tool. It can be used to document your community's history, your family heritage, or even someone's life. Photos, narration, music, and video can create a moving and informative experience for any viewer. PPG has experience bringing dozens of documentary and biography projects to life!

Legal Video

The legal community has been benefitting from the flexibility and low cost of video for years. If you aren't using video to your advantage, why not get started? Our legal video services have often helped clients win settlements and cases. We can show you how you can use PPG for the following:

• personal injury depositions
• day in the life videos
• property damage documentation
• on-site inspections
• lab tests
• individual frame isolation and printing
• audio/video analysis
• medical illustrations
• 3D animated event reconstructions
• mock trials and focus groups
• therapy and settlement documentaries
• duplication/transfer to/from VHS/SVHS/DVD/Betacam/CD/Audio microcassette

Medical & Science Videos

Document a new medical technique or make a complex set of procedures simpler to understand. PPG has produced numerous videos for the medical and science community, including works for the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and the BC Cancer Agency. Use our expertise to showcase yours! Your video can be used to educate the public, students, medical and pharmaceutical companies, or other medical professionals.

Public Service Announcements

These videos are the ones you never forget: public service announcements sell an idea, not a product or service. The idea might be "don't do drugs", or "practice safe sex." A staple of community organizations, non-profits, and public health agencies, PSA's can be short 30 second T.V. spots or a longer video for public distribution. They require careful planning, a unique concept (humour often works well), and flawless execution. Done right, they can leave an unforgettable impact on your audience!

TV Commercials

Make your company stand out! Short, punchy, and to the point T.V. commercials deliver your message to a broad audience at one specific time. PPG can produce a commercial that will deliver your message effectively — but won't break your business' bank account, and we've got experience producing T.V. spots for a variety of businesses and industries.

Personal Demo/Portfolio

In highly competitive fields such as athletics, performing/visual arts, or even real estate, having a high quality personal promotion video — or demo reel — that showcases your talents is the de facto way to prove you've got what it takes to schools, employers, coaches, talent scouts, or even casting agents.

DVD & BLU-RAY AUTHORING

PPG can perform realtime encoding of virtually any video format straight to DVD with a simple, standard interface.

If you want to wow your audience, we can also create a customized Blu-Ray or DVD with tailor-made menus, graphics (including your own company or personal logo/graphic), buttons, and music - chaptered the way you want. It can be created to play automatically and even loop infinitely - perfect for trade shows! In addition, photos, graphics, and text can be implemented and included as data or DVD-ROM material to enhance the viewer's interactive experience. With PPG, the possibilities for your Blu-Ray or DVD are endless!

CONVERSION & DUPLICATION

Have tapes or DVDs from a foreign country that won't display properly? We can convert your foreign video to North American standards - or vice versa.

We can also convert to and from DVD, CD, VHS, S-VHS, Betamax, Mini-DV, DVCam, and Betacam SP - as well as encode to web-ready video formats.

Want more than one? PPG can replicate your Blu-Rays or DVDs in any quantity you like. We can also customize packaging for you with spine, jacket, and face labels, as well as DVD silkscreening. Contact us for current rates!
