We are a PR, communications, marketing and ad agency. My position is Senior Video Producer on our Content Team for the Western Region Our gaming client Riot Games wanted to capture a partnership with Golden State Warriors to announce the 2022 edition of the biggest Esports competition in the world on less than 10 days notice. They needed to capture, produce and publish a comprehensive variety of content covering live event promotional activities across Oracle Areas, for same day and next day turnaround. Our goal was to find a soup to nuts production vendor who could not only wrangle a large team together but be exceedingly thorough in contingency planning, and with very little direction from the client or our agency. Our deciding factors for awarding this project was their competitive cost, first rate customer and client service, and a history of successful productions for our agency across a variety of scales. We started with a kickoff meetings to brief Aris on the project, quickly moved to bidding, where they were fast and very flexible towards evolving client requests. We then held several calls together with the client and Aris to understand logistics, only a few days prior to the event. We then also help meetings with Golden State Warriors, pivoting fast when we became informed very late that several crew would need to be union. Finally they captured content (on a Sunday afternoon) and editing content for same day delivery onsite and continued editing to deliver all content on schedule next day. I worked with the Executive Producer Greg Bassenian. Greg strikes a perfect balance between direct candor and white glove service communications. He's quick to point out potential roadblocks without causing alarm, and always comes to the table with options. He takes feedback well and also shares helpful feedback for our team to continues to improve our processes. Clients were exceptionally pleased with results. They intend to use the content Aris captured for a variety if extra uses beyond the initial wave of real time publishing. Aris was extensive in providing a lot of structure on a short timeline. They regularly kept all parties up to date with real time communications as necessitated by the quick turn. And even produced a production booklet that captured all the details of the shoot. They set realistic cutoffs for essential decisions to be made, and for deliveries of product as agreed upon. They are at once personable and machinelike. They don't miss a beat, and they also come up with solutions and execute exactly as they explained they would. They do even better when shit hits the fan to no fault of their own. They are quick to adjust and often go the extra mile to ensure our company and our clients are satisfied with the process and results.January 25, 2022

Pros:

  • I've chosen to work with Aris for about a year and a half now. With each project, no matter the complexity, they are willing and able to take on and execute with both a strategic and creative approach. I view their team as an extension of my own and highly recommend them.
  • I was particularly impressed by Aris' extraordinary professionalism along every step of our video production project. They followed us step by step, supported us and were understanding of changes we imposed along the way, and their creative work was impeccable. I cannot recommend them enough - I think that it would be nearly impossible to find better value than using their team for video production. We certainly will in the future.
  • They created amazing medical introduction videos! It was our companies first time making a video and they helped every step of the way!

Cons:

  • One time they were out of coffee in the edit bay, I was super disappointed. The silver lining, we walked down the street to a nice cafe and came up with some new ideas.
  • There is nothing I liked "least". The team was flexible, understanding, professional, creative. It was fantastic work.
  • Honestly, I don't have anything negative to say. There whole team was on point

Overall Experience: I had the pleasure of working with Aris on 3 videos while the company was still in its early stage of development. (https://iapprentice.com/videos/) The entire experience was thoroughly professional from beginning to end. Not just the videography and editing but above all the structure of the videos really stood out.
