Hello Julie and the whole Safe Families team. Thanks for giving us a seat at the table for this conversation. 

​

Per our conversation earlier this week, I understand that you're hoping to create a video for your upcoming fundraising needs. Specifically, it sounds like you guys are hoping to tell one of your amazing stories - and you want this story to pack a STRONG emotional punch. I can confidently say this type of storytelling is what we are the best at, specifically for non-profits. 

​

You also helped me understand your budget constraints, which is VERY helpful when dreaming up an idea for a video like this. You mentioned wanting to keep the budget at or below $7k-ish.

I believe that with this budget we can tell a story well, but we'll have to do it in a very cost effective way.

​

My initial recommendation would be for us to do something that tells a story using animation. This "style" of video allows us show all the important parts of our story without having to shoot much / anything. Here are some examples from our portfolio of this: 

This past spring I had the honor of directing David Platt's Secret Church. Here's a video that played during session 3 of Secret Church.
