3 Reasons to Hire a Video Production Company vs Freelance Videographer
When you need to hire video production help, the idea of hiring a freelance videographer may seem valid. After all, you could probably find a freelancer for pretty cheap and there’s a great chance that you’d be able to find someone local that would communicate openly about your project with you. But there are many reasons to hire a video production company vs a freelance videographer.

In fact, if you’re looking for top quality video production and service that will be conducive to the success of your project, hiring a freelancer probably isn’t the best choice.
We’re going to explain why as we outline the reasons you should hire a video production company instead of a freelancer for your project.
#1. Video Production Companies Are Transparent
When you hire a production company to work on your project you really want to hire someone that will be transparent with the work that is being provided and the expectations.
Hiring a freelance videographer may leave you wishing you had a bit more detail as to their background, their experience, and the expectations they have for the project.
Unfortunately, sometimes freelance videographers lack transparency and the result is a customer or client that feels like he or she was cheated or didn’t really know what they were getting themselves in.
Avoid Complications
You really don’t want to find yourself in the position where you are struggling to understand who you’re working with, what their expectations are, and how they intend to fulfill the details of your project–on time.
A video production company will be prepared upfront for transparency to help you. By hiring a video production company that is experienced in the type of production you need for your project, you can rest assured that your video content is in good hands.
#2. Video Production Companies Have Mixed Talent
When you hire a video production company then you’re hiring a team of talent to work for you. Unlike hiring a freelance videographer that brings with him or her only his or her own talent to your project, the production company brings diverse talent to your project.
Talented writers, editors, script writers, cameraman, equipment operators and lighting specialists are all found working either within the production company or for them with a quick call. Can your videographer quickly find additional support staff to bring your production together last minute?
In most cases, videographers will only provide their immediate services and a small network of contacts that may be of assistance. There are no guarantees of talent or support that they can provide nor are there guarantees as to the additional services that may be offered.
When you hire a video production company, you know you’re getting top talent that can work with you from pre-production through post. Everything from planning and scripting to filming and editing will be provided by a top, grade A professional.
#3. Top Equipment You Need
Video production companies may cost a little bit more than hiring a freelance videographer but you’re not just hiring the talent, you’re also signing up for top equipment that will be at their disposal for your film project.
Does your freelance videographer have high-tech equipment? Probably not! Freelancers don’t have the financial backing to invest in expensive equipment that they may only use once in a while on set.
Instead, they invest in the basics and then you are expected to rent anything else or worse yet, they film the production without the best equipment and you’re stuck with low quality footage. You get what you pay for in video production.
