Importance of Reviewing a Video Production Company Showreel
Having a great video production company showreel is the first step to landing clients, and at Beverly Boy Productions, we value the effort put into our showreel as we believe it stands to assist clients in seeing what we have to offer. But as a client, do you know what makes the video production company showreel so incredibly important? And, are you aware of the importance of reviewing the showreels of any potential video production company that you consider working with?
What is a Showreel?
Sometimes referred to as a demo reel or individually as a reel, the showreel is a compilation of the production company’s work that delivers detailed visual representation of the skills and specializations that a production company brings to the table. As you consider hiring a production crew, watching the video production company showreel is one of several steps you can take towards getting to know the professional skills set of the company and whether or not they might make a good fit for your project.
Showreels are Like Visual Resumes
A video production company can tell you how great they are, they can even tell you that they have done projects for some pretty big businesses and brands, and they can provide you with a list of their key benefits or professional specializations. But, if you really want to know what a production company is capable of, you check their video production showreel! The showreel is like a visual resume for the company that you are considering.
But wait!
Before you hire a video production company, the showreel should be on your agenda to watch and review. But don’t stop there! After checking the showreel you should also ask for individual insights into recent projects, specifically those that closely resemble the project you are seeking to hire a production crew to tackle for you.
Why You Should Check the Showreel Before Hiring
Before you hire a video production company, you will likely do a lot of homework. You’re going to check their credentials, and review their past works to determine whether or not they could be a potentially qualified fit to work with your business. At this stage, it’s a good idea to check the showreel as it can provide a lot of details about the professional skills and specializations carried by the production company that you’re considering. In fact, we recommend viewing the showreel because:
- The best showreels will demonstrate the unique skills of the production company and can help you to visualize their creative abilities. A poorly-constructed showreel is a sign that your project may be poorly constructed if you hire that particular company. Beware.
- The showreel shows a demonstration of the shots, camera skills, angles, editing, and techniques being used by the crew.
- The showreel delivers detailed insight into the best work that the company can provide. If you’re not satisfied with what you see in the demo reel, consider an alternative company.
