In the fast-paced world of video production, meeting client demands and delivering high-quality content can be a challenging task.
For Youth Lens 360, a video production company that empowers youth as storytellers and specializes in corporate philanthropy and nonprofit storytelling, this challenge was becoming increasingly evident.
Youth Lens 360, known for its collaborative approach and talented young storytellers, had an increasing number of video projects coming their way. However, their in-house team was struggling to keep up with the demand of editing multiple projects simultaneously.
Dario explains, "We wanted to put our stamp on the videos and ensure they reflected our style, but we couldn't keep up with the quick turnaround times our clients needed."
As the demands on Youth Lens 360 continued to escalate, Dario found a much-needed solution in Edit Crew, a provider of professional video editing services. He initially had doubts about the promise to deliver drafts within 48 hours. But those reservations vanished after working with Edit Crew on their initial project. The fast and high-quality results left Dario impressed, and the pressure of meeting tight deadlines became much more manageable.
"The unlimited revisions were a game-changer," Norman states. "Clients often come up with new ideas after seeing initial drafts. With Edit Crew, we could easily implement these changes without any hassle."
One of the standout features of Edit Crew for Dario and Norman was the level of collaboration and communication with the team. They found it easy to communicate their requirements and preferences, making the process more efficient.
Dario highlights, "One of the other benefits that really strikes me about Edit Crew is the communication process. It's taught us about ourselves; what to ask a client, what you need to get stuff done on the editing side, and the technology that they use to go back and forth and communicate with us. It's been really easy for us to just pass that on to the client, and so we're able to streamline that process of communication so much better with the technology that they use and how they assist us in making sure we have the right stuff for our edit."
Norman adds that Edit Crew's team is composed of great people who are genuinely helpful. He mentions that he was even provided with training on how to submit materials properly, which was immensely valuable for someone like him who had no prior editing knowledge.
A major concern for Dario was whether outsourcing video editing to an external editing team would dilute their brand identity. However, they quickly realized that Edit Crew aligned perfectly with their vision, resulting in videos that retained their distinct style and storytelling approach.
Dario opens up about their initial concern, saying, "One of the things I was worried about as a company was whether we would still have our own branding. You know, the stuff that we were known for and what we produced. Would it still look like us? And I was surprised to realize that it actually really does look like us because we are still involved in the editing process as far as the story we want to tell, how we want to tell that story, and what we want it to look like. But it almost enhances us because we're able to focus on telling that story and those things. And Edit Crew is really able to deliver on the editing side."
According to Dario, Edit Crew has seamlessly become an extension of their team. He highlights the fact that their editing abilities complement their shooting knowledge, enabling them to focus on the art of storytelling and maintaining their unique brand identity.
Hava needed a reliable and efficient editing service that would not only provide editing expertise, but also offer the benefits of having a dedicated team. The primary asks she had were:
The collaboration with Edit Crew has significantly impacted Youth Lens 360's business. With quicker editing turnarounds, they were able to handle more short-term projects while also securing longer contracts with bigger companies.
"We can now focus on both small projects and long-term commitments simultaneously," Dario states. "Edit Crew's support has enabled us to grow as a company and expand our reach."
When asked about their experience with Edit Crew, both Dario and Norman shared that the streamlined process, attentive team, and seamless collaboration made Edit Crew a valuable partner for their video production needs.
With Edit Crew's efficient and reliable video editing services, Youth Lens 360 continues to shine as a storytelling powerhouse in the video production industry, leaving their clients delighted and audiences moved by their creative narratives.
