What does it require to be a great video production company?

Experience. Vistamax has been in the video production business in Tampa Bay, Florida, for over fifteen years. In that time we have produced hundreds of productions for a wide range of clients, including Anheuser Busch, Sea World, the American Cancer Society, The Walt Disney Company, and Microsoft. Each of our clients requires a different approach. For one company to create unique products on behalf of each customer calls for deep experience in the art of filmmaking. Our top talent has decades of experience not just in movie-making, but in advertising and television, as well.

Creativity. At Vistamax, we don’t let our experience dictate that everything must be done the same way every time. We are always open to new ideas, fresh talent, and new technologies. When a client comes to us with the desire to try something radically new, we delve in—researching, experimenting, recrafting—until the client says, “That’s it! That’s what I wanted to see.”

Technical Expertise. Another potential problem of many newbies in the field is that they haven’t really mastered all this shiny new technology. It takes a solid knowledge of film-making techniques as well as patient learning with new devices to incorporate the best of the new processes in with the old standards of quality. That patient craftsmanship is what sets us apart in the field.

Adding to all this is our location in beautiful Tampa Bay, Florida, with its stunning variety of venues and gorgeous backdrops for any type of filming.

So, wherever the advertisement is aired, its ROI depends on its effectiveness in conveying the advertiser’s message via sight and sound.

That’s why you want a crew that’s staffed with experienced professionals to shoot your business video production. At Vistamax, the production process of your video starts long before the cameras roll. It begins with pre-production planning that takes your priorities and wraps them in an audio-visual concept that will deliver your message in an effective, memorable manner. This encompasses the scriptwriting, location scouting, and casting. Meanwhile, we schedule every phase of the process to make sure this production happens within your budget.

When our high-definition cameras take to the beaches, the forests, the luxury hotels, or the studios, our gifted directors oversee every detail to complete the picture, assisted by an army of technical talents: set designers, stylists, makeup artists, gaffers, grips—all to make sure that the images and dialogue convey just the right tone for your video.

That dedication extends to our post-production services, where sound effects, music, narration and animation are added as needed to complete the total effect. To make sure you’re happy with the final product, we invite you to supervise the whole post-production process.

Vistamax has been producing videos for small businesses and large corporations alike since 1997. Our clients include:

• Microsoft
• Animal Planet
• Busch Gardens
• NASCAR
• University of South Florida
• Verizon Wireless
• The Walt Disney Company, and many more.

The Message Is Memorable. It is visually stiking; the images linger in your memory. Often, a seascape or sunset provides this kind of backdrop. Needless to say, the images must be consistent with the feeling that the producer wishes to evoke in the audience.

The Message Is Clear. Some very memorable (and expensive!) ads have left viewers shaking their heads, wondering, “What was that all about?” Since one purpose of the ad is to evoke good feelings about a product or service, all these wonderful images must deliver a message that the viewer can understand. Tying the right words into the images, music and special effects requires talent and experience.

The Message Is Appealing. The audience has to like something about what they see even if they’re not much interested in the subject matter. A truly great commercial will make a homebody reflect on how nice it would be to get out of the house and do something fun.

The Message Ends with a Call to Action. The point of any ad is to move the viewers to action. An ad that prompts them to do that with humor, logic, or emotion is much more likely to get results, especially with repeated viewing.

Achieving all of this on time and on budget requires a team with experience, creativity and resources. The award-winning production team of Vistamax in Tampa Bay, Florida, wants to help you create that memorable experience for your viewing audience. We use state-of-the-art equipment, beautiful scenery, quality talent, and honed professionals to create the most effective visual messaging for your company, whether it’s a commercial, infomercial, corporate video, documentary or live entertainment. Contact us to bring your message to life today.

Do you already have a script in mind? Perhaps you’ve written it, and you’re only looking for the right Florida video crew that will be able to add those special touches that make it come alive. At Vistamax, documentaries are one of our specialities. We enjoy every minute we spend helping you breathe life into the vision you have created for your documentary. Regardless of what your subject matter is, and regardless of your objective, your goals become our goals.

Documentaries are unique in that you rely on more than just the script to tell your story. There is an element of drama that goes into creating a good documentary. Sometimes, those moments can be easily missed when you’ve chosen to work with an inexperienced crew. Those special moments need to be captured in order for you to properly convey your message to your audience. That’s why it’s important to work with a company who understands the various ingredients that go into making a documentary.

What are your plans for your documentary? At Vistamax, we can bring an added degree of excitement to your film. By using only the latest in technology, and through the help of our incredible Florida video crew, you’ll have a work of art that you can be proud of.

Safety videos are usually shown on training days, and they’re almost always shown after lunch. For most of us, that means it’s time to take a nap. At least that’s what those boring, old, outdated videos are encouraging, right? It might seem like an unusual idea…but safety videos really don’t have to be dull and sleep-inducing. There are a few different ways to use business video production to get your company’s safety message out there without boring your staff to tears. Remember, using safety videos to avoid workplace accidents can be a very effective way to teach safety, as long as it’s done right.

Use Realistic Scenes

We’re not sure who decided that a safety video featuring a guy in a suit talking in a monotone voice was a great way to get the message across, but that person was wrong. Your employees need to be able to relate to possible situations they might encounter in the workplace. Using realistic scenes is essential to make those images stick in their minds.

Use Realistic Dialog

If you use scripted scenes with a little humorous dialog, you’ll keep their attention and they won’t forget the information. The script can include valuable legal regulations that drive the points home. Above all, the dialog should be easy to understand and simple to recall later on.

Use Realistic Length

Honestly, have you ever wanted to sit through a safety video that’s an hour long? No one has. Your employees don’t want to, either. The best approach is to keep it short and sweet, and break up the scenes as much as possible. Try to use an approach that gets the most information across that you can, without dragging it on for a long time.

At Vistamax, we’re the pros when it comes to creating a safety video for your company that your employees will remember and understand. A video can be a great instructional tool, as long as it’s used correctly.

We’d love to put our creative team to work for your next corporate video production. For more information on how we can assist your business with a non-boring, yet informative safety video production, contact us today.

• What do you remember about the company or product?
• What are your feelings about the company or product after seeing the commercial?
• How much has the commercial moved you toward buying the product or services advertised?

The fact is, with today’s digital video tools and YouTube, almost anyone can produce riveting shorts that might get millions of views. But that doesn’t make them successful sellers. What does that require? Let’s cover that by looking at a few examples of effective commercials:

Zip It. This is a great commercial, engaging the viewer immediately with humor. It taps into the almost universal frustration of opening plastic packaging without injuring oneself or damaging the product. In a sequence of scenes, it demonstrates the product’s use while a voiceover explains its benefit. It is lighthearted, upbeat, and memorable.

Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream. The combination of graphics, special effects, and old movie stills makes an entertaining visual sequence to accompany the information about this special entertainment. Everything in this commercial works to encourage attendance at a fun family event.

Sacco and Vanzetti Opera. This answers the age-old question of opera companies: how do you draw new patrons? By introducing them to the age-old attractions of opera: Crime, Drama and Controversy. This commercial does not include singing, which might turn away potential attendees before they had a chance to enjoy the live event.

Winning commercials like these come only from production teams with the skill and experience to understand their clients’ needs. Vistamax, your video production specialists based in Tampa, Florida, have the industry expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to create just such a production for your company. Check out our entire portfolio and contact us today.

Traditional commercials only give you a few seconds to introduce your product to your audience.  While there are many standard commercials that are done quite well, and that communicate the company’s message about the product in a unique way, an infomercial can be even more effective.  In a standard commercial, you’re not guaranteed to reach your intended audience every time it’s shown.  However, with an infomercial, when people are watching television, they have the option of sticking with the program and watching it for an extended period of time.  That gives you more time to reach them and convince them that your product is the best one out there.

The length of infomercials gives you so many opportunities to show exactly what your product can do.  Quite often, customers have questions about the commercials they watch.  If they need the product, or want the product enough, they’ll try it.  In your infomercial, you have a long time to demonstrate the different uses of your product, and show off how it works, and how it can improve the lives of your audience.

Putting together a great infomercial requires an excellent level of quality. At Vistamax, a great deal of planning and preparation goes into getting your infomercial absolutely perfect.  Our creative team works hard to produce a script that’s original, makes an impact, and includes a clear call to action.  If you’re concerned about quality, you don’t have to be when you work with us.  Our technology is some of the most advanced in the industry.  You’ll have a professional, high-quality infomercial.

At Vistamax, we stand behind our work 100%.  Our personal touch is what makes us different from other production companies, and we’d like the opportunity to introduce you to the Vistamax difference.  To discuss your new product and your vision for your advertising goals, contact us today!
