Multipurpose Planning

It is often possible to save money by thinking ahead, planning production so that the same video or audio can be used in multiple productions and in multiple formats, increasing the effectiveness and impact at the same cost.

Understanding the Client

What comes first is the client, developing a plan specific to your goals. We bring creative thinking to every project. And if we believe there is someone out there who better fits your needs, we will tell you that, too.

Rates

All rates are negotiated based on the client's needs and the specific project. Initial consultations are free.

Shapinsky MultiMedia handles all production issues in consultation with the client. This includes videotaping, editing, sound, music, etc. Whatever the size of your company or project, we provide custom service to suit your needs and your budget.

We have experience with major live productions for television, documentaries, network news magazine shows, and talk shows, as well as with medium size projects such as PSAs and even smaller efforts for schools or non-profits. Shapinsky Multimedia also has an extensive library of sounds, music, graphics, and other elements that can make an ordinary project extraordinary.

It is not always obvious to the non-professional whether or not they are receiving quality or sub-standard service. And they may even pay for more for something without having the kind of creative input they want. If you are interested in smart marketing or the quality of your content, we understand both editorial issues and high production values -- and what it takes to achieve them.
