Video Editing the Sidekick Way
What’s it like to work with our video team? We’re glad you asked!
Business Objectives
Every video you create must have a specific goal or reason for existing. When we understand what that goal is — that specific marketing or sales call-to-action you have for your audience — we can make smart, strategic video editing choices that help organically influence, persuade, and reinforce the overall objective for your brand’s video.
Brand Storytelling
Even if the primary point of a video is to sell or educate, each one is an opportunity to tell the story of your brand. From the humans in front of the camera and the brand voice used in your scripting, to your values and visual brand identity elements, our video editing specialists never lose sight of the cohesive visual brand story you also need to tell.
Viewer Engagement
Yes, consumers love video, and videos are very influential in their decision-making for new purchases. That will only be true for you, however, if you leverage editing tactics that increase and fortify viewer engagement. Lucky for you, using a strategic blend of the latest video trends and tested editing techniques is our specialty.
Visually Compelling
Often, video can make us feel things in a way that mere words on a page can’t. At least when you’re in the hands of our video wizards. We carefully craft brand visual narratives that resonate with your audience, using techniques like pacing, music, and visual effects to enhance the emotional and psychological impact of your videos.
Efficient Processes
It doesn’t matter how aligned, powerful, engaging, and compelling your brand videos are. If each one takes weeks to get to a final cut that’s ready for publication, you’re dead in the water. Rest assured, the core of our team’s video editing approach is that we check all of the right boxes quickly and efficiently, so you can keep moving.
Trends + Technology
There’s nothing worse than spending money on video editing only to end up with footage that looks like it’s more at home in 2004. Your consumers are demanding more than that. That’s why our video team is constantly seeking out new trends, technologies, and tactics to guarantee your videos always feel fresh, modern, and exciting.
