Video Editing Services for Nonprofits, NGOs, Charities & Community Programs.

Sometimes you need an aspiring Steven Spielberg to do a sophisticated, theater-quality movie for your nonprofit, charity or  community program, and if you have the budget for that, go for it! 

But for those who don't have such a budget and whose video production needs aren't quite so lofty, there's me!

Using video clips that your volunteers, employees, consultants or clients have taken with their smart phones, or recordings of your online/remote meetings, or working with you on your laptop or smart phone to create new content, I can create simple videos for your nonprofit, NGO, charity or community group's YouTube channel or for other public outreach avenues, or for you to show before you speak to a community group.

My video creation services are for simple videos that you would share online, on YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, etc., or on a laptop, rather than something you would show on a movie-theater-quality venue.

Such videos can be focused on:

I can also guide you on how to use your laptop or smart phone to take video for use for any of the above.

Many of the aforementioned projects, if you were to provide all of the video clips and wanted something around five minutes, would come in around $500 for my entire production budget.

My video production services include:

If you don't already have content for a video you want created, I can help with both script writing and your verbal or physical delivery on camera or on audio.

What you need:

You can use Vimeo, Facebook or any other video-sharing site to share the final product, and the final product belongs to you to do with as you like - as in, if you want to later give it to another person to edit into something different, I am absolutely fine with that (I won't enforce the copyright as the creator).
 

Samples of my work:

Celebration video of final day of a nonprofit event (2:13)
This is an example of how video taken by various different people, on different devices, can be spliced together in a simple, fun way to celebrate an event or program.  

les chats noirs (2:07)
An example of using simple special effects and copyright-free music and simple smartphone footage to make a short, fun video. If I can make this from cat-sitting one afternoon imagine what I can do with clips your volunteers have taken on their smart phone during their service! 

Advocating for Diversity in Volunteer Engagement is NOT Easy (11:46)
With just my laptop, some hats, and a longing for my high school and university theater days, I made this simple video to illustrate the resistance nonprofits, charities, community groups and others will get when they start advocating for diversity and inclusion in volunteer engagement, with lots of tips on how to prepare for it and counter it. You can see all of my trainings on this playlist on YouTube.

Volunteers talk about what's best about the website they built for a nonprofit (3:52)
As part of a nonprofit's program where 10 to 30 teams of volunteers build web sites for 10 to 30 nonprofits, to show off accessibility features, volunteer teams are invited to talk about their experience on the day the event ends, either onsite or via a video conferencing call. This is an example of a less-than-four-minute video that was made from over 15 minutes of footage. The goal was to have short videos to show potential participants in subsequent years, so they could understand what the experience was like.

Editing example: Nonprofit Kickoff Event (Hybrid) (1:12:35)
A nonprofit holds a kickoff event annually for a particular program that involves 10 to 30 remote teams and 10 to 30 dispersed nonprofits and government programs, with some participants overseas. The event is also broadcast live for an online audience, making it a hybrid event. The original recordings of this 2018 event were more than two hours long. The nonprofit wanted to have a recording of the entire event online, but have "dead air" and long pauses cut out. I was able to cut the event down to less than half the time of the original broadcast, without cutting any substantial content. And, yes, that is me also at the event as the MC at about the 21-minute mark. The purpose of the video is for archival purposes and to show new employees what this program is like, as the event tends to have a high-turnover of staff year-to-year. 


Costs:

If you are interested in a quote, please contact me. Initial email exchanges and our first live discussion, where I find out what you need in more detail, are free. I will then tell you how much time I expect the task to take. I charge $50 per hour of work, and require a six hour minimum ($300). A time estimation will be given before work begins and a MOU will be prepared by me and signed by both parties, to ensure clarity regarding the project. If there is a need for more time on my part, and this will increase the final costs, permission will be sought first from you before I proceed.
