Washington DC Video Production
Most of the video we make for Washington, DC clients has a specific job to do. It might train agency staff, keep association members engaged or tell the public about a new program, and it usually goes through a few reviewers before anyone outside the building sees it.
Braun Film & Video is a full service multi-media production company with a studio in Herndon, Virginia. Since 1992 we have handled projects from script to screen for clients such as the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. Department of State.
Video Production Services in Washington DC
Organizations in Washington usually know what a video has to accomplish long before they know what it should look like. A training module has to get through legal review. A PSA has to fit a 30-second slot. A news package has to be something a station can cut into its own story. We plan every video production project around jobs like these.
Government Video for Federal Agencies
If a video will live on a federal website, it needs captions and audio description to meet Section 508. Audio description is much easier to plan while the script is being written, when you can leave short pauses for a narrator to explain what is on screen.
Our government video production covers training, internal communications and public outreach. Agency clients include the Department of Defense, the FAA, the IRS and the U.S. Department of State.
GSA Schedule Video Production
The GSA Schedule gives federal buyers a simpler way to hire a production company. Rates are negotiated ahead of time, and you can request quotes through GSA eBuy or place an order through GSA Advantage.
We hold GSA Schedule contract GS-07F-195AA under the Multiple Award Schedule for Marketing and Public Relations. Video and film production falls under SIN 512110, which is the number to reference in your request.
PSA Production for Public Awareness Campaigns
Before anyone writes a script, find out where the PSA will run and how long it can be. A 15-second spot usually needs its own idea, because a 60-second script rarely survives being cut down that far. A radio version has to make sense with no pictures at all.
Our PSA production includes placement, monitoring, tracking and reporting, so you can show your board or program office where the spot aired. The Ad Council and the National Crime Prevention Council are both on our client list.
Nonprofit and Association Video Production
One interview day can supply an annual meeting video, a fundraising email and a month of social posts if those versions are planned before the camera rolls. Members, donors and board members each want something a little different, and it is usually easier to capture it all at once than to book a second shoot.
Our nonprofit video production includes fundraising programs and membership recruitment pieces. Clients include the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Partnership for Public Service and the National Building Museum.
Broadcast Tools for Media Outreach
TV stations seldom air a polished promo from an outside organization. What they will use is clean B-roll, a few short sound bites and the facts they need to build their own story. That is what a video news release package is for.
Our broadcast tools include video news releases, B-roll packages and radio and television media tours. PR firms such as Weber Shandwick, Fleishman Hillard and GMMB are among our clients.
Corporate Video Production
Start with a list of every place the footage will end up. A homepage video, a recruiting clip and a short message from your CEO can often come out of the same production day if the shot list is built around all three.
Our corporate video production covers brand stories, training, executive messages and event content. Corporate clients include Deloitte, The Washington Post and Federal Realty Investment Trust.
