Ask HN: Where do companies go to for promo videos?

1 points by iamjonlee ↗ HN
I've been looking up several video places to do a video promo and wondering if any of you have experiences with a good video production team you can recommend. I'm looking for a similar type video to Path.com or everyme.com

Video can be expensive (~10k/min); try to find a college / recent grad film or animation student to handle getting the project off the ground (storyboards/dialog/locations/previz).

Once you have someone who knows the medium, getting the permits, equipment, actors, props, and filming the scenes becomes much easier.

The final edits to the film with audio production will also need to be completed.

Normally, these all of these tasks are done by the producer/director... so you could try to find one of those as well.

And remember to ask for a portfolio (demo reel).
