WHAT IS VELFILM?
Welcome! My name is Vadim Elkind and I am a freelance photographer and filmmaker based in Denver, Colorado.
VELFILM is the name of my media production studio. I specialize in affordable, creative and flexible video production and photography services for small businesses, community organizations and individuals in Denver and surrounding areas. In addition, I am interested in supporting Denver’s vibrant arts and entertainment scene by promotion and showcase of the local creative community through visual media.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE VELFILM?
There was a time when creating a professional video used to cost a fortune and required large crews and truckloads of heavy and expensive equipment. It was a luxury that only big companies with substantial advertising and marketing budgets could afford.
This is no longer the case. Small businesses, non-profit organizations, local mom-and-pop shops and individuals can finally afford a professionally produced video suitable for internet marketing, DVD sales and even broadcast TV.
While high-end video production is still expensive and is used by big companies and brands to get their message across, it is now possible to create a professional-looking video for a mere fraction of what it used to cost. The cameras are getting smaller, lighter and increasingly higher in image quality. They have more light sensitivity than their predacessors, thus minimizing the need for bulky and expensive lighting equipment and accessories (also, conserving energy and minimizing impact on the environment). This, in turn, eliminates the need for large crews of people to operate all that equipment. One skilled videographer can shoot and edit a project that can be just as effective for a small local business as a millon-dollar commercial is for a big national brand.
This is where VELFILM comes in.
VELFILM is video production for the little guy: small businesses, non-profit organizations and local establishments that cannot afford to spend $100,000 or even $10,000 on a sleek and glitzy 30-second commercial, but are able to budget a tiny fraction of that cost for a simple, clean, professionally produced and equally effective video that is bound to attract more customers and exponentially increase their exposure.
But, don’t mistake “budget” for low-quality! VELFILM is equipped with professional HD camera gear, accessories, lighting, sound recording and video editing equipment that can accommodate most demanding needs when it comes to video production.
