Relentless work for fun!
Thank you for considering Ben Koning Productions for your next video project.
We create videos of broadcast quality caliber at industrial or nonexistent prices, because we are the most
serious hobbyists you are likely to meet: perfectionists who are always comparing ourselves to broadcast and seeking
to better our equipment and technique.
Our award-winning marketing and training reels are superior to the results of an "event" videographer because our
craft is more ENG/EFP-like, yet we are
more approachable and cost-effective than a large production house, a mid-size production facility, or a small high-end
boutique.
We continue to invest in equipment such as DVCPRO 50, maintain contacts in the industry, and serve as crew on productions;
we go to NAB every year; we advise a national award-winning community cable station in Mountain View.
We do not derive our primary income from this endeavor, so we are often involved
in one or more projects pro-bono. In fact, we prefer such social advocacy and community service projects.
Let us be honest: We cannot produce a $100K+ infomercial, stage a multicamera event, provide a live network feed,
or edit a major-market show; if we are asked to do something that is beyond us we will refer you to any of the
excellent production businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area
(such as those listed in The Reel Directory; see www.reeldirectory.com)
rather than jeopardize your success.
But if you are a charity, community service group, historical interest society, or social justice organization which would like
a short-form advocacy piece created pro-bono, or if you are a business which needs a simple
marketing or instructional video for which our technical background, integrity, and very low rates would be useful to you,
please do contact us.
