Introduction

Hello! I'm David with Metro Teleproductions, INC. We have been streaming/webcasting since 1998. We specialize in streaming to Facebook and YouTube Please note, due to budget, we ask you not to contact us on jobs that are under $500 and under $1000. For Streaming the minimum job is $1500. Every project is different. We ask a lot of questions and work hand in hand with the client to make sure that the end result meets their expectations. We work with a highly specialized core of video production professionals who span the spectrum from producing videos to covering hotel conferences and seminars. MTI is known for its intense preparation before any of the clients money is spent. We always attempt to survey for every job. We enjoy the interaction with the clients. For example we just completed a shoot for ACEP in preparation for their 50th anniversary. I interviewed 26 emergency room physicians in the course of a 8 hour day. Their stories were fascinating, since they were from every region of the country and ranged in age from late 20's to 70. We just completed a 1 day shoot for handshake where we had to edit the video overnight in preparation for a live 2 camera switch from UnderArmour headquarters in Baltimore. The challenging jobs always get your adrenaline going!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Please do not contact me if you are trying to develop a vision Also due to the structure of our company, we are unable to do jobs in the under 500**** and 600-1000 range****, it normally is not profitable for us. Not really because each job is different. we have half and full days for video production. If you have just a cameraman vs a cameraman and audio for a shoot obviously it costs more. a half day is 4 hours on site, a full day 8.5 hours on site. We allow for a half hour of travel each way, that is standard industry practice. In webcasting it totally depends on the amount of equipment you are doing.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We ask alot of questions. In video production and webcasting, each job is different. Before quoting a price, especially on thumbtack there is normally a need for additional information. We understand that in many cases price is a deciding factor. Its important to only quote what a client needs, not charge them for additional items.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a graduate of the University of Maryland in Radio TV. I have 26 years of video production experience. We are one of the pioneers of webcasting. Our first webcast was for the Washington Post back in 1998.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started as a radio sports stringer and in the late 80's moved to television and in 1998 formed my own company

What types of customers have you worked with?

Broadcast Networks, Fortune 500 companies., Non profits and individuals we span the spectrum

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask a lot of questions. Provide as much information as you can. The more information you provide the better the quote will be. In our business we say Good, Fast and Cheap you get 2 out of the 3. Its not the lowest price in our field, quality is paramount

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

making sure they have the proper information to give to us. Each job is different and creativity can also play a part in the pricing. The more we understand about the job, the more complete the quote will be
