There are plenty of video production companies out there that can fill your need for whatever type of video you want to create.  Whether you are a business looking to promote your product or service, a non-profit trying to raise funds or raise awareness, or a company aiming to make an informative and engaging training video, there are many production companies from which you could potentially choose.  But how do you find what you’re looking for?  Of course, a simple Google search is the weapon of choice for anyone trying to find out more information, shop around for the best value, or just see some samples of what other corporate clients have produced.

We want you to shop around.  That’s a good thing.  We have been able to make some great videos for awesome clients who found us because they shopped around.  The best thing you can do is research, discover types or aspects of videos that you like or don’t like, and really think about what type of production company best suits your needs and your mission.

That being said, of course we want you to choose McElroy Films.  Any company would be lying if they told you that they think you should look elsewhere.  But we are an honest, down-to-earth group of people that truly care about our clients.  We understand that most people are quite Internet savvy and can do pretty extensive research on their own.  Sure, there will always be someone out there that can make your video for a cheaper price, but the key to everything is value.  What are you really getting for your money?  And that doesn’t just mean the final polished product.  Don’t get me wrong, the final product is what matters most in the eyes of a client, but one must also consider the process, the customer service and the ease (and promptness) of communication between you and the production company.

In your process, if you’ve decided on another company and even if you think they’re perfect for you, please still give us a call (781-229-5900) or come visit our office in Burlington and chat with us about your search and what lead you to your decision!

Working with Ben and Co. enabled us to spice up the topics at hand, without being irreverent or insincere in our presentation.  When shooting a video designed to promote a health maintenance website, a critical social issue became a major national news story: gay bullying and suicides among LGBT youth.  With the help of Ben, we were able to piggyback a second video shoot onto our scheduled one.  The subsequent video: “Fenway Health Presents: It Will Get Better” ended up being much more significant for us than the original short.  Ben and his colleagues were amazingly accommodating and flexible.  They also infused an easy flowing flair into both of the projects we made together.  McElroy Films meets the client where they are at—for us, we had a fairly high amount of creative input into one project.  The crew took what we wanted to do and made it a reality.  Conversely, when faced with making up something from scratch in a single day, Ben and co. took the reigns and directed us towards a fantastic final product.  Ben also made the secondary things—titles, music, and especially editing look easy.

McElroy Films are truly creative and truly facilitative.  I strongly endorse them and intend to work with them again soon.

Ben and his crew made the whole process so much easier, more manageable, and much more enjoyable for all of our students and faculty that were involved. We are so happy that we found someone with the experience and skill to help us tell our story.
