Arbour's Services
Arbour Media offers a variety of video production services to select nonprofit and commercial clients. Work for nonprofit organizations involved in issue advocacy, education, healthcare, and the arts is a specialty.
Story and program development. Working from your marketing, advertising, or program idea, Arbour can help you create a compelling story that will inform, educate, motivate, and entertain. We can also help you with professional legal and business advice about various critical issues related to video production and distribution.
Video production. High quality origination in Standard Definition or High Definition video on location, in whatever specific format your production might require, and tailored to fit your budget. Almost all of Arbour Media's production work is done on location. Arbour Media offers one of the most complete location production capacities in the central Susquehanna Valley.
Video editing and post-production. Already have footage "in the can"? Arbour can create a program from it in our Final Cut Pro editing suite and finish it it whatever delivery format you may require.
Production, post-production, and web development for online video. Online video is a rapidly expanding new medium with requirements for success that differ from traditional video production. Arbour Media can produce video content that meets those requirements and get it online quickly and cost effectively whether it's via services like YouTube or your own video server. Arbour can also create a web site to present your video online or work with your current web design team.
Motion graphics production. Motion graphics are a core component of nearly all educational, marketing, and advertising video. Arbour designs original motion graphics using industry-leading Abobe After Effects and Apple Motion software. We can work directly with your print designers to transfer your organization's graphic identity to video in a way that will convey your message tastefully and clearly.
DVD authoring. Arbour Media can design and create complete DVD packages including high-quality menus, sideshows, and interactive features.
Training. As the tools of video production become less expensive and more available, many organizations are considering how they might employ video in their work. One hurdle such organizations face is securing appropriate training for staff. Arbour Media provides video production training for small organizations interested developing an in house video production capacity.
Location and event support. Arbour Media assists film and video production companies in scouting and securing production locations in Central Pennsylvania, a surprisingly diverse region that can provide various historical and wilderness locales just three hours from New York or Washington D.C., or four hours from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Our local knowledge can save you time and money in location planning.
If you are an established video producer and need location production support in Central Pennsylvania, Arbour Media offers equipment rental from our stock of location production equipment including c-stands, Arri lighting heads, microphones, cables, audio mixers, miscellaneous grip equipment and related supplies. Availability of equipment depends on Arbour's current production schedule. Please call with specific inquiries.
If you are planning an event which you want video to be a part of, Arbour can help you solve the various technical challenges that arise in event video production.
How Much Does All This Cost?
We work hard to provide high-quality video production and post-production services for a fair fee. Because the requirements, schedule, and location of every project are different, we determine an hourly or daily rate on a per project and per service basis only.
If you have an idea for a project and want to know what it might cost to produce it, please give Arbour Media a call at 570-522-0738 for a no-cost, no-obligation estimate or email us at info -at- arbourmedia dot com*. We generally require 48 to 72 hours notice to create a complete quote.
*Because various unscrupulous web marketing companies use spiders and similar robot software to troll the internet for email addresses, we've put all email addresses on this website in a form that such programs find difficult to read.
Arbour's Approach: A Focus on Story
Because video production is a complex technical craft it's sometimes assumed that technology can be substituted for good storytelling. Our experience tells us that's a bad assumption.
However long they may be, whatever tools are used to create them, whatever their purpose may be, successful video programs are successful because they tell good stories.
All of Arbour's production projects begin with a story meeting in which we learn as much as we can about the purpose of your project, your organization (or company or product), the message you want to convey, and the audiences you want to communicate with. Then we stop and think carefully about what we've learned.
We have to stop and think because we don't take a one-style-, one-format-fits-all approach. Our goal is to create a video project that will tell your unique story in a compelling way.
If we don't think your initial idea will work on video, we'll tell you, but we'll also suggest alternate ideas we think will work to accomplish your purpose. We spend the time we need to to make sure we've got a good story before we shoot one frame of video.
