Web Video Production for Charities - Less Than £400

April 9, 2009 - PRLog -- StreamCity's new virtual studio in central London, due for completion next month, will enable charities to produce three minute web videos for just £395 + VAT.

StreamCity Ltd has a long track record in providing video services for charities and not-for-profits including Cancer Research UK, Rethink, Mencap, Which? Online and The Prince's Trust.

Their new Video Briefing service is designed for organisations that appreciate the benefits of using regular online video messages to engage their donors, staff, volunteers or service users.

Announcing the launch, StreamCity CEO Dave Greene-Taylor said "Video production tends to be a relatively high cost item so organisations see videos as a one-off especially in the current economic environment. The major difference with this solution is that because of the low price point Videos Briefings can be produced more often; keeping channels of communication open on a monthly or even a weekly basis."

The videos themselves can take many forms - a simple piece to camera, an interview or a more complex news bulletin with pre-recorded inserts. With full production facilities available such as teleprompters on all three cameras and insert tape play-in, videos are recorded 'as live'. This reduces the cost by taking away the need for post production.

"The three camera studio uses a high definition blue screen system to generate virtual environments of a quality which puts many television facilities to shame." Said Simon Allchorn, StreamCity's Head of Production. "We have applied our experience of broadcast production to this service to ensure that although the price is low, quality is not compromised. Advances in technology mean that a client can now turn up with a script, a cd of photos and camcorder tape from a recent event and within a couple of hours they can have a professionally produced video playing on the front page of their website."

As a launch offer, StreamCity is offering charities and other qualifying 3rd Sector organisations 12 Video Briefings for the price of 10 bringing the cost of a regular monthly briefing down to less than £330 + VAT.

To deliver the video, UK based charities and non-profits can also take advantage of StreamCity's free video hosting service, Magiclite. http://www.streamcity.co.uk/third_sector_magicLite.html
