Francis is an absolute pleasure to work with—good-natured, approachable, and highly professional. He really takes the time to listen and understand what you’re aiming to achieve.

The video he created for us was engaging and captured exactly what we needed to showcase our business. His attention to detail and creative flair made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.

I highly recommend Francis for any visual presentation or video project you need to promote your brand effectively. You'll be in great hands.

Eshan IT recently sponsored a Musical Event. We needed four cybersecurity-related educational videos and a testimonial from one of our clients to be played between the songs and acts. We had less than two weeks to achieve this and were wondering how.

Luckily, we met Francis from Fantestimonial. By the time we decided to go ahead with Fantestimonial, we had only one week left.

To meet the deadline and save on costs, Francis advised us to repurpose and tweak our existing educational videos, which were designed for social media use on a mobile phone. Francis knew exactly what we wanted and did his magic, producing four videos perfect for large projection. The addition of subtle animations and Eshan IT logos made the videos more interesting and compelling.

Francis also helped me shoot a short client testimonial video by sharing tips on what equipment to use, how to frame the video, and how to guide the person in the video. At very short notice, Francis edited the testimonial video. He added music and texts to provide context and make it sound great.

The event was a success, and we received great feedback from the audience on the videos. Those videos helped us educate the audience and promote Eshan IT.

Thank you, Fantestimonial.

I had the pleasure of having Francis come to my office to record a video. I was extremely happy with process and even more so, he was able to set up in a timely manner with no interruptions to my business. Francis has a world of knowledge and is very easy to work with. At one point, I had forgotten that there was a camera recording me! Highly recommend working with Fantestimonial.

Thank you so much for your compliments. You were easy to interview as well, and your knowledge of the mortgage industry is amazing. I look forward to working more with you in the future.

Our Special 6 Steps Process for Success

1. Discovery & Strategy

We listen and understand your goals, and if needed help you create a marketing and sales strategy for success.

Then we ensure that the Videos will fit the strategy to optimise the marketing or sales success.

2. Creative Development

Scripting, storyboarding, preparing your talents, finding the best locations and visuals to ensure it is on-brand, and on-budget.

We balance budget, goals, and creativity so that you pay for a video that you need to succeed, and not a video that a video agency want to create.

3. Production

We will manage your filming and/or the animation team to produce what has been created in the Creative Development process.

All our teams are pre-approved by us and have been working with us for many years, and we match the right technical talents to the project’s needs to ensure the best results, at the most effective costs.

4. Post-Production

This is where a lot of the magic happens as we edit, add sound and music, visual effects, and create a cohesive story that is visually and auditory fantastic, and effective to tell your story

Again we ensure that all videos are on-brand, and of the right quality for what you need to achieve your goals.

5. Delivery

Once the video(s) are done, we’ll ensure that they meet all the technical specifications for your distribution channels.

For example a YouTube video will be in Landscape format, whereas a TikTok video will be in Portrait.

Captions on TikTok, or Instagram also need to be place higher up on the screen so that it is not blocked by the UI of the platforms.

6. Review and Results

We are particularly proud to add this extra step where we will help you review the viewership and retention data of your videos in, typically, 2 months after launch to see if the video is working.

If there are areas for improvement, depending on what is needed, we’ll update the video for FREE.

Common Questions, Answered

Typically, most video agencies will say it depends. But let me give you a rough breakdown of cost:

  1. Discovery and Creative Development cost:
    $250 – $2500 (typically – $500)
  2. Production (Live action Videos will vary from Animation:
    $1500 – $15000 (typically Video – $1500; Animation – $3000)
  3. Post-Production and Delivery:
    $1500 – $15000 (typically – $2000)

Generally, most businesses spend between $3500 – $7000 for Videos that will provide a marketing ROI improvement of up to 80%, within the first year.

Video production timelines vary as well, depending on the type of production. It ranges from 2 weeks, for a simple production. to 12 weeks for a complicated video with many moving parts.

Generally, most videos will take around 4 weeks from discovery to delivery.

The limiting factor is usually the time it takes for feedback to be provided from the client side.

Yes.

HOWEVER, it will only provide an ROI if the video is used strategically, ie, within a marketing strategy, or a training strategy, or a sales funnel strategy. When used strategically, you can get a return of up to 300% within a year or 2.

Creating a video for the sake of creating one is an exercise in Vanity. While there is nothing wrong with that, your ROI for such a video is an improved self-esteem when your friends, peers, or the public praises you for a fantastic video. 

For sure!

In fact, one of the first things we do, pre-discovery session, is to see if you have a marketing, sales, or training plan in place with clear goals.

It is only when we are confident that you have a clear objective in mind, and a strategy to use the videos, that we start talking about the types of video(s) that will best suit your needs.

If you don’t have one, we can also run a Strategy Session with you to work out the plan!

Oh yes… We have trusted teams around Australia whom we work with if we need to film in locations outside of Melbourne, Victoria.

We also offer online recordings for interview based videos.

And we are also able to run Media Training sessions for your team(s) either on location or online to help you do your own filming with gear you probably already have.

Just as I won’t have a clue how to start building a house, creating videos can be daunting for many businesses as well.

Many of our clients come to use with nothing more than a goal, or an idea, and we will work with them to develop the videos from ground up.

So you are not alone; and we are here to help. No question is too silly.

Some more reviews of our service

“Francis’s professionalism and client-centric approach were remarkable, ensuring a smooth collaboration. The end product exceeded our expectations, and the client was absolutely delighted.”

Gina Hanrahan

Head of Production

We don’t have a marketing team to produce briefs for our video content. Francis came down and met with the team and met with our directors and really learned our business.
This assisted with producing our video content because the team knew what we wanted to achieve…. They managed the process for us and GUIDED us with what needed to be done.”
