WHAT WE DO
DahopaFilms provides video production services to our clients. We tailor those services in accordance with our clients’ needs.
We focus on the following areas:
Behind-the-Scenes ("BTS") Materials
For small- to medium-budget movie productions, a key to distribution (particularly DVD distribution) is providing distributors with BTS materials and other content to supplement the main feature.
If you're producing a low- or medium-budget film, put the BTS materials in DahopaFilms’ hands so you can focus on the "main project" and leave the BTS materials to us. We'll film your cast and crew in action, interview cast and key crew members and produce your BTS materials in accordance with your specifications. And we will tailor your BTS materials to your budget so, again, there are "no surprises" – except pleasant ones.
Corporate Videos
If your business or organization needs video-based material (whether for internal corporate distribution or external client distribution), DahopaFilms can assist in producing and delivering that material to you – on time and on budget.
Whether it's a training video, corporate profile, mission statement, employee morale-booster, website video or direct–to–client marketing, we will listen to your needs and deliver a product to you that is in accordance with those needs.
Music Videos
We're creative people who love music. We also love new artists and appreciate their struggles, pressures, goals and concerns. DahopaFilms works with artists and helps them bring their talents to the forefront by producing music videos that reflect the artists' style and serve as snapshots of their work and talent.
We have crafted a pricing structure that will assist the artist in attaining his or her goals while recognizing that the artist may not have a large budget. We deliver a high quality, creative, professional product – at a "no surprises" price. We won't make promises we can't keep and we clearly advise the artist if the vision for the project is simply something not possible on the artist's budget. We then assist the artist in producing a great video that fits the budget.
Actors’ Reels
Again, we like working with talented, creative people. There are literally thousands of talented, struggling actors who simply need to get noticed to get that all-important role. One of the methods of doing that is to have a demo reel which shows off the actor to the world.
But if the actor is new to the industry and don't have any significant inventory of roles and footage, it's a bit of a "Catch-22" – the actor needs the exposure to get the work but needs the work to prepare a reel to get the exposure. If the actor doesn't have an inventory of roles to enable him or her to even start putting a reel together, what does he or she do? DahopaFilms can produce a reel for the new actor – by spending an intensive day of filming in various locations and with various wardrobes and looks and assembling the necessary material for the demo reel. The resulting demo reel can then be used as a great calling card delivered to agents, producers, casting directors and directors either via the Web or in dvd format. And if the actor already has footage, then we can put your reel together for you using that footage, too.
Summary
So in summary, here's what we can do for you:
- Determine your needs and goals.
- Script and plan the shoot according to your needs, goals and budget.
- Secure the necessary talent (actors/crew) and locations to facilitate the shoot.
- Light the location and shoot the production.
- Edit the footage and render the final product in the format required (dvd, data disk, etc.).
- Deliver the final product to you.
We are in business to stay in business. We enjoy what we do and we want repeat clients.
We are professional, creative, straight-talking people who strive to understand the client's needs and deliver a final product that the client can be "wowed" by. The only surprises we want to deliver to our clients are happy surprises.
