Promo Video - where to buy one

[belunch]

Hi folks, I am considering purchasing a semi-professional "Promo Video" to use with my next app update. I mean a review that has good quality and well spoken English and overall quality is better than "I shoot it with my own, built-in camera". Are there any contacts / sites / companies you would recommend. Thanks for letting me know.

PS. Feel free to enter info in the poll as well. Thanks.

Hey

You can use freelancer, elance etc..

It costs you 300-1000$, depends on quality and your wants.

You should ask mind. His promo videos are as good as they get.

I assume you mean this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaRo...r_embedded#t=0

I PM'd you the contact details (so the guy does not get spam email from bots crawling looking for email addresses). He is good, but you will need to give him raw video of the parts of your game you want shown. Use a PC and a video screen capture program and BlueStacks (or adb emulator).

You will also need to write the script for what the video should look like and what happens at what times. It *really* helps if you have strong ideas and you can clearly put them down on paper (and have done this sort of thing before).

Lastly, it does take a while. Rendering each frame is not fast, and little tweeks sometimes mean redoing a lot of the work.

How much does he charge for a video?

How much does he charge for a video?

Depends on the length of the video and how much work he has to do. The guy is good. He does video SFX for TV adverts for large a-List companies in the country he lives in. Since he lives in the 3rd world, he is relatively cheap by 1st world standards for the quality of the work he produces.

Still... expect to pay between $1000 to $2000 per minute of video...

Wow, $1000 for 1 minute of video seems a lot! I don't know about this but I believe 1 minute of video can be done in 24-48 hours. I should start learning to do that myself.

Hahahah... I think you might find you have a LOT to learn! Just rendering the 1 minute of video takes hours.
