Foreign Perspectives

Much as you might think that video production was for film studios in fact there are a number of small production companies which target the corporate video production market.

Of these, 522 Productions confines itself broadly to the Washington DC area along with those neighbouring it of course. As it’s in the capital area many of the productions that it has created are for non-profit organisations and there’s a surprisingly wide range of work in it’s portfolio already.

They even run to quite an interesting blog which looks at many of the issues concerning video production these days as, of course, it’s rarely as straightforward as producing a video tape since people will often want a flash version for online distribution along with the possibility of running streaming videos and distribution via YouTube. Naturally that range of outlets makes it important to consider just what outlets you are likely to be using before you start shooting: the grand production that you originally thought you needed might not be suitable if many people will be watching the quite small video sizes that are generally available online for example.
