About Siteflight
As we have said on the Homepage, we are Lancashire-based but will consider enquiries from any location. The more exotic the better, please!
Meet the team
Ok, maybe we are not the biggest video production agency you are likely to come across or maybe you would not even consider us a team at all, but hey, this is us.
I'm Paul and I founded Siteflight. From building the computer & website to recording, editing, marketing and year end accounts, like most business owners, there's a few things that I take care of.
This is Jeff, the Siteflight dog and a much valued member of the team providing friendship, support but generally comic relief.
As mentioned elsewhere, we started Siteflight initially with a drone, hence the name, before offering ground-based videography that allows us to create promotional videos for most businesses at a great, affordable price.
What can Siteflight do for me?
We have made videos for the hospitality industry, the construction industry, the property market, the service industry, the retail sector and entertainment industry. Each video we are commissioned for presents its own unique challenge which keeps things interesting and keeps us on our toes meaning no two days are the same.
But regardless of genre, we believe that all of the work we produce should be both interesting and entertaining for the viewer no matter what the subject matter. At the end of the day the video that we produce for a client is in essence an advert which needs to reflect their character and the nature of their business.
We are not going to pretend that we’re a big, high flying video company with a team of people because as you have seen we are not.
What we are though is an honest, hard-working, Lancashire based business literally building ourselves up from the ground and able to provide certain videos that are more affordable in our opinion for the smaller business.
And the reason that we can offer this is because we do not carry large overheads that the larger companies may have. That and we just love making videos.
Videographer or Video Production Company?
We were disappointed to read on a video competitor’s website, not in northern England we hasten to add, how they thought they differed as a video production company from that of a videographer. The cheek! We would like to point out that there is nothing wrong with being a videographer and we are very proud to be as such.
For a bit of fun we have turned a table they created below on it’s head to let you make your own decision, but at the end of the day it’s a simple matter of ‘horse for courses’. Basically people get what they pay for. If they do have a lot of money to spend, they should go for the large production company, bells and whistles an’ all. If there is not as much money available, as not everyone has a handsome budget, we are available to deliver a quality product but at a much lower price.
Anyway back to the table including our tongue in cheek comments which might be a bit hard to read on a small screen.
| > > > > > > > > > > > | Video Production Company | Videographer ie Siteflight |
|---|---|---|
| Project starting price | Around £3.5k to £4k (Ex Vat) | Generally £500 - £800, Sometimes less! |
| Production office | Fully manned office 5 days per week. Clients invited for meetings and edit reviews. | There's nothing wrong with a home office! And we are happy to meet in person should the need arise at a venue of a client's choosing. |
| Recording availability | Resources in-house to handle simultaneous shoots. | We've had numerous projects on the go before now. |
| Expertise | A collaborative team of in-house specialist producers, directors, camera operators, editors and animators. | Only one, exceptionally talented person handling it all to deal with! Oh and there's Jeff as well. |
| Recording day booking | Guaranteed attendance (0% drop out rate) | We've never let anybody down. |
| Crew | 3 man crew resulting in better efficiency, speed & greater quantity of footage filmed. | People should see how fast we work. Besides we never leave site until we have enough footage. |
| First cut delivery | 5 to 10 days. | Sounds about right. We have been quicker though. |
| Creative input & review | Edits pass through multiple pairs of eyes, with multi-level creative review from exec producers and directors. | There's an old expression that starts, "Too many cooks...." Besides we can send a draft to the client before they sign it off. |
| Quality control | A 21 point quality control check on every video produced. | Hollywood could do with this! Have people seen the Human Centipede III? |
| Footage storage and archive | Secure edit server with local backup and 24 / 7 off-site backup. | All footage taken is backed up upon returning from the shoot until the video is complete. After that it's up to the client what we do with it. |
At the end of the day, if a client chooses either a video production company or a videographer, we are sure they will come away with a great video for their business. Please feel free to read some Testimonials we have received for some videos we have made to date.
