The low-cost no frills budget DVD package....

"When we offered our first no-frills video production package back in 1989 we were amazed at the uptake! It opened the door for many clients who thought they just couldn't afford a professionally made corporate video."

...Matt Quinn, Managing Director.

Often imitated, never equalled!

So, just what do you get in the TFGtv.com budget DVD package?

Well, we'll start off by telling you what you don't get!

You don't get cast adrift to try and do a job that really needs to be done by a trained professional! With the benefit of over 30 years experience our M.D. knows that the success or failure of your programme hinges on proper scripting, pre-production planning and specialist project management.

Whilst we welcome your producing a draft script and will work closely to it, every programme we make is properly scripted to broadcast standards by a qualified professional. Every programme is properly directed by an experienced broadcast trained director. And a proper audit trail is maintained for your complete legal protection.

For just £1288 plus V.A.T. you get a fully produced, video of up to about six minutes in length shot in full 1080i High Definition.... And you get the final product on all of DVD, Blue-Ray Compatible AVCHD disc and web-streamable formats as standard. Not just a DVD!

And what's more, throughout the entire production process your programme director will provide full personal email and telephone support as well as meeting with you face-to-face to plan your programme thoroughly and professionally. And if that wasn't great value already the no-frills package is FULLY EXPANDABLE! Add a celebrity presenter, extra shooting, extra locations, fully bespoke music, 3d animation... All at the same seriously discounted rates that the no-frills package is based on!

The no-frills package is available anywhere within a roughly 125 mile radius of Livingston, West Lothian at no extra cost. We don't believe in building the cost of nationwide travel into what we charge local clients. And for those further afield (yes; we DO cover the entire UK) we simply ask that you cover our extra travel, accommodation and administrative costs.

Compare our specification with what our imitators are offering......

Script - provided by you ?

TFGtv.com take your script ideas and have a qualified scriptwriter develop them into a full, professionally produced script adhering to broadcast practice. We don't believe in casting our clients adrift!

What's more the entire project is professionally project managed by an experienced programme director. It's simply not good enough to just have a scriptwriter 'check' your work! And in fact huge amounts of time and money are saved by having a professional do the job in the first place. Of course the scriptwriter's work must be fully approved by you before we move to production!

Full telephone and email support throughout the project ?

TFGtv.com assign an experienced producer to your programme who will actually meet with you and work with you to develop your programme idea. And yes! Of course they'll be fully accessible to you by 'phone, email and, if necessary, in person to deal with your concerns!

A Director & Camera Operator with shooting kit ?

TFGtv.com crews for this package minimally consist of your assigned programme director who will be also be a fully trained, qualified and experienced camera operator and a technical assistant who again will be properly qualified to at least HNC standard (typically HND/Degree standard) Of course they'll have a full shooting kit which includes lights, audio mixer, full mic kit including wireless mics and high definition camera!

Professional Presenter?

TFGtv.com have access to a wide range of presenters from national and local celebrities to exciting new talent who can work at minimal cost to deliver maximum impact. Of course a professional presenter IS an optional extra both with our own package and that of most other producers...

Professional Title Sequence with Music?

TFGtv.com have access to the cream of Scotland's musical talent and the no-frills package includes a jingle, purpose made for video, by one of our vast range of available musicians. Bespoke or exclusive jingles and incidental music are also available at modest rates as an optional extra.

Titles, generated from your own logo or artwork, are a routine matter included in the package and cost you nothing extra...

Or we can, again as an optional extra, have anything from a simple animation through to full blown 3d CGI sequences made for your programme.

A Caption Summary of your main points?

TFGtv.com will include as many of these as you like! They're a routine part of our post-production suite's capabilities and simply get built in to your edit time! No big deal and absolutely no problem!

Post production of all footage including colour balancing scenes?

TFGtv.com camera operators have a sufficient level of competence to colour-balance scenes as they're shot! To be fair it's not always possible to maintain strict colour balance across a number of different shots and locations. But colour-matching of scenes IS JUST a routine part of the edit process and something you should expect to happen anyway! Again; no problem!

Autocue or teleprompt so you don't have to remember lines?

TFGtv.com have many years experience of working with teleprompts! Our MD trained as a news cameraman and knows only too well the pitfalls.

Using a teleprompt effectively is a skilled job which requires a great deal of training. One characteristic of teleprompt sessions with untrained subjects is that as much time is spent teaching the subjects the basics of teleprompt use as is spent actually taking pictures. And, at the end of the day, untrained teleprompt users almost always look as though they're reading from a screen; which of course they are! We could be cynical and suggest that pushing the use of teleprompt seems more to us about pushing the shoot into overtime (and inflating the budget!) than it does meeting the needs of the client. Certainly using a teleprompt makes things easier for the crew. But, in our experience, it does so at the client's expense.

If you wish to insist on learning your lines while the crew stand around twiddling their thumbs at your expense then by all means we will provide a teleprompt as an optional extra. Don't buy into the vacuous notion that having a teleprompt obviates the need to learn lines. For most people it doesn't! Even highly trained and experienced news readers struggle with the teleprompt from time to time!

You'll save a huge amount of money by simply learning your script as best you can and relying upon the A3 paper prompts we always produce as a matter of routine. Rather cruelly these are better known as' idiot boards' though why is quite beyond us. They're bigger and easier to read than most teleprompts. Far cheaper! And produce a more natural result since they don't fool people into thinking they can get away without learning their lines! Nothing idiotic about that!

In any case, you would almost never have to deliver any piece to camera as one great long chunk. And in truth presenting to camera is FAR easier and more forgiving than presenting to a board meeting....
