About ct video production services with Media Infocus
Partners Eric and Kristen Pontbriand have specialized in corporate videography for manufacturers and professional firms since 2002. Using the RED camera platform, we capture 4K RAW video to preserve the highest level of detail and provide maximum flexibility in post-production. Based in Watertown, Connecticut, we primarily serve clients within a four-hour drive, but we’re also fully equipped to travel by air for projects anywhere in the country, bringing professional, high-quality content directly to your team. In addition to video production, we create still photography and 3D animations for manufacturing visualizations, catalogs, and digital content. Our 3D scenes can be generated from Autodesk or Solidworks files and rendered in-house at resolutions up to 160 megapixels—ideal for large-scale trade show displays, marketing campaigns, and high-impact presentations. We also partner with clients on broader marketing needs, including SEO, SEM, website development, and catalog creation. From concept to execution, we ensure your brand is presented professionally, consistently, and with maximum impact—whether online, in print, or on the trade show floor.
What is 4k?
4k and UHD (Ultra HD) is a television format that delivers 4x the resolution of High Definition. 4k source material provides the highest level of sharpness and clarity, even in cases where the delivery format is HD over the web. Each 4k video frame is 8 megapixels as opposed to HD's 2 megapixels, enabling editors to grab high-res stills straight from the video feed that are usable in print ads up to 11 inches wide at 300dpi. Editors can also crop video frames to 400% while still maintaining HD resolution, allowing for multiple static and animated zoom levels using a single interview camera and shot. Media Infocus can obtain source material up to 4.5k at (2:1 aspect ratio) and 4k HD (16x9)
How much does a typical video production cost?
Variables that will influence the cost of your production:
- Pre-production tasks like conceptual, scripting, planning, story-boarding, casting, and location scouting.
- Production-related expenses such as talent, wardrobe, prop-rentals, set design, labor and location rentals or possibly production insurance depending upon risks.
- Specialized equipment charges: If specialized industrial drones, non-standard equipment or high-speed-industrial photography is required.
- Post-production sizzle like Motion graphics, visualizations, 3D animations, brand reveals or branded motion-titles.
- Additional materials: Media Infocus can provide stills and even designs for large format printing and design for displays and trade shows from 3D materials, scenes and graphics (if applicable).
Media Infocus is happy to accommodate clients with needs from simple to complex for most types of business and industry-related video content. To learn more and receive a detailed plan and some ideas for your production, please contact us today and tell us about your project.
What type of equipment do you shoot on?
Media Infocus shoots on RAW motion picture cameras that are 4.5k capable and stills at 30 megapixels RAW. We are able to capture stills and video within the same shoot. We employ several types of motion control systems to create cinematic images for our clients, and arrive at most types of shoots with at least double redundancy.
How long will it take to produce my commercial?
Creative video productions typically take about four weeks from script to final delivery, ensuring every detail meets our high standards. For functional or sales-focused promotional videos produced as part of an online presence program, we can often deliver content in 72 hours or less under ideal circumstances, providing fast, high-impact results when timing is critical.
Who creates the ideas in your videos?
At Media Infocus, we often work with busy small business owners who don’t have the time to plan their marketing content and videos. Many of the commercial productions in our portfolio feature messages and themes that originated with our team. We’re happy to adapt to your needs, whether you want us to handle the full creative planning and direction, or if you already have a concept and script and simply need professional execution. Our goal is to bring your commercial idea to life, making the process seamless and impactful.
Can you use photos and video I provide?
We'd be more than happy to include materials you provide within your commercial production! Throughout our portfolio are several great examples of how 3D graphics and animations can enhance these materials. Tell us what you have, and we'll provide ideas on how to make you a professional video that you'll be proud to have to represent your company and brand!
Can we hire your company just for Videography or B-roll?
Yes. We are available for deployment anywhere in Connecticut on easy terms and at affordable hourly rates. We can also travel out of state for larger productions if the project scope and budget allow.
