It all starts with your ideas and advertising goals. We listen to you, develop a concept, then write a script that communicates your message to your target demographic.

The script will include specific video and audio information that we'll use as a guide for the commercial shoot. You may already have a concept and script ready to go. Wherever you are in the process, we can help you move forward from there. 

We'll also provide you with a contract that lists the services you'll receive and the total cost of production. After your approval of the script and contract, we'll move on to planning the shoot.

Lights! Camera! But Wait! Before we shoot the video and record the audio for your television commercial, we plan. We often shoot at the client's business, but the possibilities for different locations are endless. Imagine a couple strolling on the beach, or your product being used in a nice home.

You may want to be on screen, feature your employees, or even have your family in the commercial. If not, we know many local, experienced actors who are ready to help out.

Your commercial can be anything from a straight-forward sales ad to a mini-movie with humor, drama, special effects and more! We'll take care of all the arrangements, and schedule a convenient time for the shoot.

Action! When it's time to shoot video footage and record the audio for your commercial, we set up our equipment at your selected location.

After a review of the script, we will arrange the shots and give direction. Everyone will have lots of chances to get their take just right. We create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that helps the on-screen talent come across as natural and appealing.

During post production we edit your video and audio footage to produce your television commercial. Using the direction of your script, we add text, graphics, 3D animation, particle effects, professional voice-over narration, and background music.

When the editing process is finished, you will be able to view your commercial on DVD or we'll provide a link to view it online.

After you've approved your commercial we will deliver it for you to a Cable or Broadcast Television station. 

Comments from Our Clients

Donovan's professional video production has made a tremendous difference in the quality of our video advertising. After a quick read of the script, he is able to efficiently shoot the footage with a creative and artistic eye. Donovan is considerate of the smallest detail, from the angle of vehicles we are featuring, to the sparkle of sun off of a chrome grill. He is conscious of the traffic noise, weather, shadows, and overall appearance of every production. The result of his meticulous attention to detail is we get high-quality professional advertisement every time."

Amy Larson Tower Ford Coos Bay, Oregon

"When Donovan comes to shoot a commercial he brings a lot of skills. His theatrical experiences enable him to understand what is necessary to communicate a powerful message in a very short time. He has gone above my expectations on many occasions. Donovan has made me look like Santa in a "snow globe", "Gene Kelly," dancing in the rain and a "presidential candidate." Strangers stop me on the street to tell me my commercials are some of the best in the world. When I let Donovan release his creative energies on a project, without micro-managing, the results are spectacular. I credit much of my success to his expert help. He very humbly directs me to make me and my products look good."
