Done in a day, anywhere

We’ve built our reputation on our ‘done in a day’ philosophy – that of delivering a professionally filmed and edited video in as little as 24 hours. That’s not changing. In fact, we’re making that same pledge on a global scale. HSQ Productions is extending this service to a global client base, as well as UK-based companies wanting work completed overseas.

HSQ has recently been asked why we don’t purchase equipment.

We took the decision when we started not to buy any video or photographic equipment for a variety of reasons.

Firstly each and every project is unique. We felt that if we bought some pieces of equipment then we would be unable to adequately adapt to different projects. We strive for customer satisfaction and giving the client what they want is our number one goal. If the client has told us what they want and we cannot provide it, then it is a big blow for us.

Secondly, we provide cost effective video and photo solutions to the client. Each client sets a budget and we work around it. If we used Hollywood style camera systems for every project then we may go over the client’s budget. We do not wish to burden the client with this cost.

We want to use the most up-to-date equipment. We pride ourselves here at HSQ with using the latest and greatest video and photo equipment.

Ultimately, our equipment strategy is to adapt to your needs in a cost effective and timely manner, using the best available equipment for the project.

Are You A First Mover In Your Market?

Pretty much all of the world’s biggest companies are first movers, to some degree. Microsoft built package software. Five Guys concentrated on a luxury fast food burger. Netflix ushered in the age of film and TV streaming. The definition of moving first is taking a chance on a service or product that hasn’t yet been introduced successfully to the sector you’re hoping to influence.

Our Philosophy Pt. 6: C Is For… Collaboration

Directors and marketers work together for a promotional plan that makes sense within their wider business goals – including who to target and which channels they should use. Salespeople focus on the commercial element. Graphics experts may have a say in how the brand looks. Without some or any of these qualities, your business might struggle. So why should a video crew work outside of them? After all, the ideal video is a perfect representation of the client – without tapping into your knowledge and experience, it can’t be a success.

Our Philosophy Pt. 5: C Is For… Communication

Hectic schedules are very common – for both of us. Yet the video service must shape itself to your preferences, since it wouldn’t be much of a service otherwise.

The work is on your timescale. A production crew has to be conscious of when you’re busy, free, or conditionally tied up. What’s the point in saying “Alright, we’ll call at this point in the day” when your calendar never stays the same?

Creative Agencies Vs. Video Agencies

Many businesses reach a crossroads when they decide to rope in extra support for their marketing: “Should I go for a specialised video service, or throw it in with an agency package?”
