Services
Putting together your film, TV spot, documentary or video is all about telling your story!
We've helped create several feature films, hundreds of television spots and videos and we know the intricacies and challenges very well.
We're experts in gathering the elements together to make it all work on the day of the shoot.
Capturing the moment, creating the energy for each shot, requires artistry, military precision and the attitude of a Buddha.
If you don't get it in the can, you can't put it on the screen.
When we create a television commercial every aspect of final product is worked out.
Starting with a concept, we develop a script.
What's going to serve the message?
What's the mood?
The call to action?
We create a world for each commercial that has to feel consistent and serve the message.
From the script we draw up a storyboard with a frame for every separate shot in the commercial.
This is our film-making template.
All of the people involved, Cinematographer, Gaffer, lighting crew, art director, casting director, location scout now have a reference for what we're after.
Whether you're launching a new product, engaging or recruiting employees or teaching your customers about your product or service, the corporate or company video is one of the most important tools a business can have.
A video can increase message effectiveness by 10-25%.
A video can launch from your website, or from Youtube or from a Facebook video ad.
We sit down with your team to determine your needs and come up with a concept that will best tell your story.
One approach to corporate video we've used extensively is the testimonial or interview-based story.
Iron Mountain Films' years of experience means you'll get what you need in the least amount of time.
We've shot Assembly races, a gubernatorial campaign, State Senatorial, Propositions, and Measures.
We've also edited numerous political spots.
