Seattle Corporate Videography and video production
by Best Made Videos®

This is a fundraising video project that we wrapped in the fall of 2019 for Kiwanis Camp Casey. Kiwanis Camp Casey is a week-long summer camp for children ages 6-17 who have physical disabilities. This video was shot on site at camp during the summer of 2019 with follow up interviews being conducted at home after Ashley returned from camp. All interviews, storyboarding, producing, shooting and editing were done by Best Made Videos®. Client had two round of feedback/editing to fine tune a few final details before the project was wrapped. This video will be shown in November at Kiwanis Camp Casey’s annual fundraising dinner in which they hope to raise funds to continue holding camp for many years in the future.

“I volunteer for Kiwanis Camp Casey, an annual summer camp for children with physical disabilities. Every year in November we hold a fundraising gala which is our biggest fundraiser of the year and raises nearly all of the money that we need to fund camp for the next year. For our fundraiser this past year, we decided that we wanted to show a video that told the story of one of our campers and how camp has impacted their life. We were SO lucky to get connected with Reid and Best Made Videos - working with him was a dream come true.

Camp is 100% volunteer run, so needless to say those of use who help put on camp and the fundraiser don't have a lot of extra time on our hands. Reid made the process of creating the video so incredibly easy and smooth for us. He is super speedy at responding to emails, totally on top of things, and was able to run with our vision. The environment at camp is high energy and can be a bit chaotic at times. We have upwards of 80 campers and 50 counselors running all over the place, chanting non-stop, wearing crazy costumes, and just having a blast. Reid was able to jump right into the action when he came up to camp to film the video and captured the footage that we needed without needing any hand-holding from us. He fit in perfectly at camp!
Reid also interviewed a number of camp volunteers, counselors, campers, and a camper parent as part of the video. He did a really great job of leading these interviews and asking questions that elicited the thoughtful and emotive responses we needed.
We are so thrilled with the video that Reid created for us and with how effortless he made the whole process for us. He truly brought to life the magic of Camp Casey and our camper's story. This will definitely not be the last time that we partner with Best Made Videos and we can't wait to have Reid join us up at camp again!”

This is a corporate promo video we did for our client Chris Chandler’s website. Chris is a professional therapist who leads remote and in-person therapy sessions and wanted a short promo video to showcase the work that he does and to have an easily watchable explainer video for not only his website but for him to send out to potential clients and other therapists. Chris booked us for a full day to come out, film his retreat with the use of our 1/2 day aerial drone upgrade, and conduct interviews with himself and his patients to put together this piece. The short (sub-2-min) runtime makes it easy to embed on his website and encourages viewers to watch the video in its entirety. We also completed a longer client testimonial video that includes more interviews and footage of the day and gives potential clients a first hand account of Chris’ success in therapy.

This is a website promo video we did for Excalibur Land Services out of Duvall, WA. You can see the shorter “sizzle” reel we also produce for them here. They hired us for a half day of aerial drone videography as well as standard video production, this allowed us to get multiple shots and angles in the limited time they had on-site work on this project. Turnaround time was expedited in order to get updated content onto the client’s website to book more business ahead of their ‘busy season”.

We were hired by McIlrath | Eck to shoot, edit and produce an updated website promo video for their firm, showcases interviews of the various financial advisors on staff as well as highlight Thor the owner’s love of flying and his belief in how the same foresight that goes into preparing for a succesful and safe flight is the same kind of foresight that can be employed in financial planning. We spent a full day conducting interviews on-site as well as another 1/2 day capturing flight video for use in their corporate promo video. Editing for the project took about a week following the additional flight day in Arlington, WA.

This is a corporate videography project we completed for Legend Brands based in Burlington, Wa. We met both on-site and spoke on the phone to work through various storyboards. I decided to write specific scripts for each employee based on their work history and personal interests. We filmed two days on-site as well as in the Burlington area and edited over the course of one week for the client to share globally on their website.

"A five star rating is all we would consider giving Best Made Videos. Reid was amazing and provided top notch customer service. We asked for a corporate video that reflected the people more than the business and Reid delivered exactly what we wanted. The finished product is wonderful, great quality, and it was refreshing to work with a person as responsive, professional, and quick to deliver as Reid was. We will definitely hire Best Made Videos the next time we need a video made because we know we will receive an outstanding, quality product at a fair price and we will receive it quickly. Thanks, Reid!"

This is the third year we have produced the fundraising video for the Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center auction. Each video includes two days of filming on-site to interview the trainers, management and parents involved. In years past, we have filmed at the family’s home to incorporate some personal footage into the video as well. Every year the videos are edited and sent to the client prior to the deadline for their charity auction.

"Reid is great to work with. He has an incredible talent to get just the right shots."

“The video you crafted for the Little Bit auction this year was very well-received. Jacob's parents and their friends were in attendance to witness the positive reaction throughout the ballroom. Jacob's story (and the video) received a standing ovation. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into it.”

For the past three years we have had a longstanding relationship with ABODA, now ABODA by RESIDE based in Woodinville, Wa. This is the first video we produced for them which showcases the immense scale of their operation. We filmed one day on-site splitting our time between their campus and a local apartment they service. Knowing they had a tight timeline, I was able to edit their video within two days for a quick turnaround they needed for a corporate branding presentation.

"Happened across Best Made Videos online and was impressed by the quality of their corporate videos, responsiveness, and pricing model. Now as we wrap up what I know to be the first of many corporate videos for ABODA Inc. with Reid, I'm grateful I made the choice to move forward with Best Made Videos. Reid was personable, easy going, professional and a clear subject matter expert on what it would take to get the shots that I was looking to get. My company set out to create a behind the scenes visual story of our corporate housing industry for an upcoming industry panel. With a super tight turnaround time (one week), Reid made it happen while making all of our colleagues comfortable during the shoot, was efficient, drove the entire process and even kept my initial goals in mind when editing the video and when reading through some of our edits we submitted. I recommend Best Made Videos for their professionalism, expertise, value and the great quality of videos they produce. Looking forward to working with them further!"
