Multi-tasking. It’s amazing how few people do it, yet it’s a brilliant way to make your budgets go further, especially when you’re shooting internationally. That’s one of the key advantages of working directly with Sandstorm rather than through a traditional agency/production company relationship.
You can tell us exactly what you need and we’ll work out the most cost-effective and efficient way to create it for you. We’ve been doing this for more than ten years now so we’ve got a lot of useful experience under our belts. Need to send a crew abroad to shoot some footage? Why not brief them on your photographic requirements too? That way they can shoot stills at the same time, saving you time and money. Need footage for different projects in multiple media assets from a single location? Why not brief us to capture it all on a single trip? This will ensure that all your pictures – moving and still – reinforce your visual brand identity across all media platforms. All while keeping production and travel costs to a minimum and making it easier for your local staff to get on with their day jobs.
One of the challenges facing clients creating multimedia content is the need to support a single visual identity. Sandstorm can create imagery that uses a single look across all media, unifying all your content and reinforcing your identity – no matter where your content appears. Our in-house versioning team can also produce subtitles and voice-over in any language. We also offer you broadcast versioning skills for different markets. All of these can be supplied within tight timeframes to ever-tighter budgets. This is Sandstorm you’re talking about, after all. Even if you don’t think you have an immediate need to capture footage for different media we can help you create a bank of imagery that you can draw on whenever you do need it. We can even provide future-proof storage, including your own secure FTP to host media for you. Many of our clients have been using this facility for years to store their own library of photography and B-roll footage, which they can use for their own projects whenever they wish.
