Great question Ben. I asked Chris Davenport, producer of Movie Mondays his thoughts. “Showing the effects of your programs is always a good thing. A video brochure is strictly showing what one’s programs are. That certainly has it’s own use, like when you’re trying to get folks to use your programs. And here again, showing the effects of the programs helps show the value to folks.”

Great advice, I was just wondering if it applies to the same idea that i’m making a video for a non profit organization pertaining to mental health. I am not trying to fundraise money but more or less showing the centres effects on the members that come and how it helps them. Does that qualify as a “Video Brochure” ?

Producing non-profit videos is rewarding work.
Video producer’s are the first to start work on the project, and the last to leave.
As producer’s, our job is to keep everyone else focused on what’s best for the video project.
Everyone looks to the producer’s for guidance and direction. After all, we know how to produce videos, our non-profits don’t.

I’m trying to help our animal welfare group integrate more video into our efforts. It doesn’t even have to be the most slickly produced one either. In fact, showing your group in action at events or efforts is powerful! And with the tools we have today such as Flip cameras and iPhones, it’s so much easier than it’s ever been.

Thanks for another awesome post!

I think video can really help get a message across. The only thing I would add is that video also tends to age really quickly. A video that is only five years old can begin to look a little hokey to the viewers. Make sure you have a strategy in place to optimize the use of the video while it’s still relevant.

Great advice. I’m also a long-time documentary maker now providing consulting and video production to nonprofits in Tennessee. I couldn’t have given better advice if I had written it myself.
