Why a Captioned Short?
So what will a video captioned short do for you? Why convert your written content to video? Or, if creating your video from an original script, why not just produce a conventional video without text overlays? With so many video solutions on the market and the glut of videos that permeate the internet, what is different about our Captioned Shorts and how will it move the needle for you?
Captions/Silent Engagement - Studies have found that 85% of videos at Facebook are consumed without sound and 69% of videos are viewed without sound in public places, and this is across all social media platforms. Studies also found that 80% of consumers are more likely to watch an entire video if it includes captions. We call this "silent engagement," and embedding your written text or original script into the video is critical to ensure that your story is heard, and seen, be it posted organically, or run as an ad. Our text overlay approach compliments the images beautifully and helps the viewer retain your message. And we do it in a way that is clever and creative, incorporating the written story beautifully into the video, not just some boring caption at the bottom of the screen. We take the time to ensure that the right amount of text is placed on the screen where it needs to be, for the length of time that it needs to be there, and in an appealing font that complements your story, and your brand. This doesn't just happen by osmosis, or with some auto-generated algorithm, but rather with the skilled hands of our talented editors who clearly understand the art of captioned storytelling.
Cinematic Stock Footage and Music - Unlike our live-action and 2D character animated shorts, our captioned shorts exclusively use cinematic stock footage and images. This reduces our production costs significantly and is the reason we can charge so little for a captioned short. But as important as the price is the quality of the product. We partner with some of the best stock footage houses in the industry and have access to some of the best cinematic footage and images available. Some have said "Hollywood" quality, and we won't argue with that. Check out some of our work and see for yourself.
Powerful SEO - Your SEO keyword work is already done! Each captioned word that appears in your video can easily be pulled into any keyword campaign. Or, add your entire text narrative to your keyword feed. Whether repurposing written content, or writing a script from scratch, we ask our customers to think about the SEO possibilities for each captioned word that appears in the video. With a little bit of thinking you can "feed two birds with one seed," - create a compelling video that engages your audience and developing a great list of keywords that will significantly improve your SEO. This is probably one of the most powerful yet least known advantage to a captioned video short.
Repurposing Content - You have already created a written document, and in doing so have done most of the heavy lifting. With our system, converting your written content to video is a snap. You spend a little time re-working your written content into a short captions, and then we get to work. In a matter of days, and sometimes hours, we create a compelling video for you, ready to share across the social media ecosystem, be it your own organic upload, or running your content as an ad. So don't waste your efforts and only think text. Think outside the box!
Good, Fast and Affordable - This is the rare instance where we can deliver a product that is good, fast and affordable! The stellar quality of our footage, images and music, combined with our quality storytelling, delivers the good! Actually we think it delivers better than just good, but we will leave that final judgment to our customers. And fast? How about a 24 hour turnaround in some cases. Even hours in others. For a one-minute video product that delivers the quality that we promise, that turnaround time is nearly unheard of. And affordable? Well you be the judge. Starting at just $49 for a professionally made, cinematic-quality video, we think that price cannot be beat. And we stand by that statement!
Multiple Formats (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5) - Today's social media space has gotten very complicated when it comes to video standards. No longer is it "one size fits all." A 16:9 (horizontal) video is great for YouTube and Twitter, but many users prefer a 9:16 (vertical) on Instagram or Facebook, and on TikTok it is definitely the standard. Maybe they prefer a 1:1 at LinkedIn. Are you more interested in desktop or mobile users? Well, the same formatted video might appear differently in one experience versus the other. Some are cropped, some aren't. It all gets a bit crazy. But no worries, we got your back! We can produce your Captioned Short in any format you want, four to be exact. You decide which format will work best for you and we will produce your video in that format, or multiple formats. And each format will look great! No stretching of content. No text alignment issues. No images that work well for one but not the other. We spend time customizing each format so it looks great and on brand! And all for one price. Good luck finding that anywhere else!
