The quality of your work, applicability of your business’ focus to my need. -To understand the ins and outs of storytelling, and available tools. Thank you for sharing my passion.
Amazing day 1 “pop” of almost $30k, all due to their pre campaign “prime the pump” organized effort! Start Motion Media is a fantastic wealth of knowledge. It allowed me to harness the power of my network. It got people genuinely interested in the project which translated into huge earnings!
Their focus is strictly on video branding & marketing. The whole process was on rails. I didn’t have to worry about the details because he had me covered.
We got prompt responses. Start Motion Media is very informational when it comes to actually marketing a project. This process can be very overwhelming and they will sit down and walk you through it. They want you to succeed and this is obvious.
You were extremely well organized with your thoughts and knowledgeable about the subject material. you clearly knew your space. It didn’t hurt that you were very competitively priced – worth every penny and then some.
Without Start Motion Media I would have never attempted to launch a KickStarter campaign. They are a real pro in the space and walk you through every step of your content plan.
It made me rethink my funnel by building it up first and testing it with customers on the list. I feel far more comfortable with the list so I can turn it on and have good content to send everyone.
Start Motion Media has an amazing track record, which is what was most appealing from the start.
The finished product was what I wanted but could not envision in advance.

Strategy
“Working with Start Motion Media had enabled us to build a meaningful foundation with and succeed with our Indiegogo Crowdfunding. What they do is empowering, and the videos generate results. Highly recommended.”
The truth about Kickstarter:
There are WAY too many people launching projects today who think a “great project” is enough.
They say, “if I publish a great project, backers will pledge”
If only it were that easy…
If you are serious about creating a high performing campaign, you need to be very systematic with how you create it.
Otherwise you’re taking a “lame duck” approach: posting your best idea to the world and hoping someone swims by to help.
In our work together I’m going to show you a technique that almost guarantees that you get high quality backers from every email you send out. In fact, I recently used this strategy to boost my launch day traffic by 230%

In commercial production you will usually see Executive and Line Producers who are in charge of separate departments (finance, development, etc.). A 1st Assistant Director (1st AD) is brought in as an assistant to the Director. They make sure filming is on schedule, keep the crew organized and keep all production activity on track. Camera Op – Controls the camera and framing during filming. This role can be performed by the Director of Photography in certain situations.
Director of Photography (DP, ASC) – A stylized look such as black and white or high saturation levels are achieved in post – accentuated through the camera during filming. our Photographer is a Gimbal Op – Camera Op that controls jib arm for capturing elevated and large motion shots. Script Supervisor – Their notes detail every shot and include prop locations and scene blocking to ensure continuity both on set during filming and later in post-production.

“Executive Producer” is a catch-all term that represents authority and respect without any specific film crew jobs or tasks. Some executive producers may have had a direct hand in financing a film, while others may have been awarded the title as additional incentive for some other contribution. The salaries of any principal cast members represent the most typical above-the-line costs in any feature film or TV show’s budget.
The casting director is in charge of finding the right performers for a given project. They operate entirely outside of the day-to-day film crew hierarchy. While many above the line film crew positions are very important and do carry a great deal of power, they are not inherently “better” than the rest of their film crew family.
