RUSSELL VIDEO - VIDEO PRODUCTION SERVICES

At Russell Video, our goal is to make professional video production something that is accessible to everyone.

We understand the tight deadlines and intense pressure of the business world.
We understand that you might not have the ‘World’s Greatest Budget’ to shoot everything you want in your video.
We understand that you might have been given the responsibility of producing a video, even though you don’t know the first thing about video.

Russell Video is here to help. We can meet just about any of your video production needs, from aircraft to animation, and talent to teleprompters. Every video that we produce is carefully executed to ensure the quality, technical superiority, integrity, and effectiveness of your final product.

Our production professionals and videographers can produce your video using many cutting-edge and traditional styles and techniques—all at a reasonable cost. We’re comfortable working under our own supervision, or taking direction from you, or other Producers and Directors. Our goal is to help you accurately capture your vision and express it clearly for all to see. We do that using our creativity, broadcast-quality production equipment, and commitment to making sure you are satisfied with the results.

LOCATION PRODUCTION

Whether it’s an elaborate multi-camera set-up, or a single-camera “run-and-gun” handheld production, Russell Video has the equipment and technical expertise to make your on-location video shoot a success. We produce our video in the Betacam SP or DVCAM formats using broadcast-quality cameras to ensure sharp and vibrant images. We are extremely mobile with our gear, and can create a variety of different “looks and feels” in many difficult environments.

All location production packages include the videographer, production crew, cameras, tripods, lighting, microphones, cables and field monitors. Many additional options are available (i.e. teleprompter, make-up artist, etc.). Also, see the A/V Service page for additional equipment for Live Event Production.

STUDIO PRODUCTION

We have just about all the gear you’ll ever need to pull off a successful studio shoot (and if we don’t already have it, we can get it for you). Our 1200 square foot studio features overhead theatrical and floor stand lighting complete will gels, cookies, flags and dimmers to set just the right mood. We also have colorful and tasteful backdrops, white and blue cycloramas for chroma-keying, and a teleprompter to make on-camera speaking easy and professional looking.

Both single and multi-camera packages are available so that you can shoot your project to be edited later or live-switched as it happens. Our studio is available for rent with or without a crew and equipment.

STOCK PHOTOS & VIDEO

We can provide a variety of stock photo and video clips to help create the special feeling, mood, or location that you need in your video. We have extensive experience researching many different stock providers for all types of content. All you have to do is describe the image you’re looking for and we’ll find it for you. Comp images are available for preview so you can make sure we’ve got the right shot before anything is purchased and finalized.

SET CONSTRUCTION

Need a Late-Night Talk Show set for your next video? Or maybe you want to shoot a scene on an exotic alien planet (we’ve built stranger things…). Russell Video can make that environment a reality, constructing it to your specifications, either in our studio or on your location.

TALENT MANAGEMENT

Southeast Michigan has some of the best professional talent in the business. Russell Video can help you find the person with the right look, sound, and attitude to deliver your message effectively. We take care of all the details for you, including the auditions, scheduling and coordination of their appearance in your video. Talent is available for on-camera speaking roles, extras, voice-over sessions, still photos and more.
