Video Parachute is always a joy to work with. They were very involved at the initial stage of our project and stayed there every step of the way. They are efficient and always keep our goals and vision in mind, both on the shoots and in the edits. Our videos are always on time and better than we originally envisioned.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you did to make yesterday's event a success. This was a high-caliber guest list and your team delivered a high-caliber experience for them. Your professionalism, flexibility, patience and your ability to anticipate LGC staff's needs were so appreciated. Our at-home guests were so grateful to be included in such a meaningful (and cool!) way.
Video Parachute is a dream vendor. They came on to our project at the 11th hour, and did not BLINK in jumping in, organizing an efficient and speedy flow of pre-event content, managing the on-site logistics seamlessly, and coordinating the edit with thoughtful, creative insights. Every step of the way they understood what we were going for. And they did all this for a price that fit our budget.
T.W. is my first call for shoots in Chicago. We get frequent last-minute production requests, and he's always able to accommodate our schedule. Working on-site with these guys, you get more than just a camera crew, you get creative collaborators. I've also dispatched them on their own with high level clients. I can always count on their production acumen, professionalism, and eye for detail.
Thanks for your work on the Commercial Real Estate Awards Video. It was a tremendous success. Everyone absolutely loved it, we got tons of great feedback. As usual, you guys rocked it again this year. Thank you for all your help, support and extra effort!
First and foremost, the marketing video turned out great. Rob and David were very pleased with it at the tradeshow. The motion graphics worked really well.
I just wanted to let you know that I think the videos are excellent. They look and sound really good. Thanks for the great and professional job that you did. We’ve received universally positive feedback, so again, great work on this project and thanks.
Thanks for all your work on our marketing video. I really appreciate all your proactive attention to detail with the product features. Our senior management team was very pleased, and we plan to make more to continue this series of videos. Great job, and thanks again.
The video looks great, super work. Thanks for putting this together on such short notice. I'll recommend you to our Chicago team for their videos in the future.
Thank you for the quick turnaround in getting these videos completed. The owner loves them and they're a great asset for our sales team. Your work will be a key part of our web site — GREAT JOB!!

Audio is often the least considered when making a video. But without the proper equipment and care, bad sound can sink your video project. Our microphones and mixers are of the highest quality. Good sound is a high priority for us, and that’s what separates the experienced from the newcomers.
We have several cameras and we know how to use them. Some are best for 4K quality, while others are best for running and gunning. Ultimately, gear is the easy part; it’s our people and their skills, both technical and personal, that set us apart.
We’re big believers in being well prepared. From scouting locations and casting talent, to storyboarding and pre-visualization, there’s no such thing as too much planning.
Words are still the basic building blocks of all communication. You cannot make a good video with a bad script. Our writing starts with a deep understanding of your message and audience, and we keep it clear and concise.
Good lighting is one of the most important ingredients in a high quality video. We’re experts at lighting and approach it with great care. All the people in your video deserve to look their best (not just your CEO).

Stellar editing and animation can make all the difference in making a good video truly terrific. We can help with both, ensuring your finished video tells the story you need it to tell.
