All these are qualifications, not differentiators. There are many outstanding video production companies in Arizona with similar qualifications.  There are three differentiators that make Arizona Filmworks unique.

1. We understand.

2. We care.

3. We have a great business model that keeps our costs low, our quality high and our videos affordable.

1. "We understand" means we know what is going on in business, in culture and in messaging.  Our experience in business means that we understand the challenges facing most small businesses.  "We understand" means we know our culture and how things are changing.  We understand music and audio and cultural touchpoints.  "We understand" means we know communications.  We listen to you.  We create messages for you that communicate the right messsage with persuasive results.  We are writers and understand effective messaging.  We are musicians and understand what touches the soul.  We are video creators who understand imagery and visual communications.  To put it simply, we speak visual very, very well. Our clients appreciate that we understand on so many levels.

2. "We care" means we genuinely give our best effort to provide the most exceptional media for our clients because we truly believe in their success.  We have integrity and character and want our clients to succeed as much as us.  We get results because we care.

3. Our business model makes us crazy affordable.  We follow Hollywood's model for creating feature films.  We bring together the best of the best for each project which means our clients only pay for the resources used on their project.  The normal business model is to invest in a big studio with high rent and hire a dozen employees.  This is called overhead.  A great friend of mine who used to own a studio like this once said to me, "I have to pay the rent and salaries every month. I have to bill clients for $12,000/month before I can pay myself."  In that business model, if you shoot a video on location in a client's business and never set foot in the studio, the client still pays something toward the cost of the studio because it is part of the overhead.  Arizona Filmworks eliminates the overhead.  If your project requires a studio, we rent a studio for a day.  We hire employees (the best of the best) for each project which means you only pay for the time someone is working on your project.  Our overhead is low so we can pass savings on to our clients and create "awesome, affordable videos."
