We create simple videos - focussing on getting your story across because you want quality video |

Julie Silfverberg
Hi, I'm Julie Silfverberg and my introduction to filmmaking was way back in first year in school. That is quite a while ago now. We had to write a story and film it. I cannot remember a lot of the details but what I do remember was that I loved every minute of it. Unfortunately the more academic side of school took over or perhaps less exciting and enlightened educators, so my budding film making career ended almost as soon as it had started.
I got back into filming for my coaching business and created some videos so clients could get to see me while going through my website. I cringe when I look at them now, the quality, lighting and sound are so poor. And little did I realise I was possibly doing myself more harm than good. That said I did not know any better. I also used video when working with clients who wanted to develop their presenting skills and style.
However I was not satisfied with the videos and decided I needed to know more about the whole video process - how to script, shoot, produce, lighting, sound, editing and so on to create a final product that reflects well on both me and my business. So off to school again.
I spent 2 years juggling my coaching work with studying TV and Film Production. What a fantastic experience, I learnt more than I ever expected, I quickly realised my knowledge

of psychology was a huge bonus and had so much hands on experience. With the result that as well as making videos for my own coaching and communication business, I decided to offer my services to other people and businesses for their video needs too. Most businesses and business people are too busy with their day to day work to spend the hours required to create quality videos to inform and connect with their clients or to support their staff.
It is relatively simple to shoot a video and put it up on YouTube but the key question is: Is that the quality you are require to represent you and your business? One of the surprising things I discovered during my studies was the amount of planning that goes into creating good quality video. Interestingly the shooting of the video is the shortest time frame, with editing and colour grading being the longest by far.
If you are like many people, you fear you may not feel comfortable in front of a camera and so you are reluctant to take the plunge even though it could boost your business. Because of my coaching experience, I can support you in accessing your inner film star so you can deliver an excellent performance that will have clients or customers feeling like they already know you, thus trust you and feel ready to do business with you.

We love new projects!

New video projects are the life blood of a video production studio. So do tell me about your vision for your video or videos and I'll help you bring it to fruition. Depending on the scope, I'll do it myself or put a project team together to ensure you get the result you want.
