There are many types of media to choose from today.
The choice of media you decide to use relies on the type of project, the objective or goal of the project, and who your audience is going to be. In some cases, you might want to use more than one type of media for you project. We will help you decide what kind of media is right for you and answer any questions you might have about the differences of the mediums.
Multimedia.
Video clips are being shot and incorporated into interactive training, learning, and education. Multi-platform CD-ROMs or DVDs use video clips that integrate with interactive learning. CD-ROMs/DVDs combine text, graphics, audio, and video to provide a wealth of easily accessible information.
Training & Educational.
Training tapes are a cost convenient way to send a consistent message to many, anytime. A training or educational video is most effective when there are company procedures to demonstrate step by step. Some training videos can easily be re-purposed to CD-ROM or DVD training or presentation.
Corporate & Industrial.
Electronic media has become the method of choice for communicating to personnel in areas of training, safety, and marketing programs in both large and small firms. We will build a strong product message for internal communication and sales presentations. We can custom design for VHS tape distribution or design it for interactive format via the internet, intranet, laptop CD-ROM, or DVD.
Special Events.
Whether it may be equestrian video, sporting event, recital, etc,. GO Media Pros will produce it for you. We take ownership in every project, from start to finish. We can handle marketing and customer opinion taping as well as "man on the street" interviews. We understand our client's needs and quickly respond through a strategic, problem-solving methodology.
Legal Video.

The Production Process
A full production involves many steps. A dream to screen service includes pre-production, production, and post-production.
Below are some steps that you will need to get your project on the right track and on schedule.
Pre-Production
Production
Post-Production
Pre-Production
First, it is necessary to have a concept, a goal in mind and a rough plan of how that goal should be obtained. How do you wish the final product to be used? Are you trying to market something or provide information or to record an event? In many cases a script will be necessary.
Next, a budget and a schedule will need to be arranged. With our state-of-the-art facility, conveniently located just two blocks from the Deer Park train station, we can provide virtual sets which save time and production costs. Finally, if professional talent is to be used, those arrangements must be made.
Every serious project begins with serious planning. We can help you formulate your proposed project by asking you questions at our initial meeting.We then develep and submit for your approval a Prelimary Proposal and Budget where we define the scope of the production, the basic approach, and a proposed budget and timeline.
After your approval, we meet again to discuss the nature of the information which the program will cover. You will need to provide this information either in outline form or as a list of subjects to be covered. If your project is going to contain hard facts and figures, now is the time to include them. Often the existing company literature (brochures, product spec sheets, annual reports, etc.) already contain much of the information. If needed, we may ask you to begin searching for your company's historical photos or existing graphic material (logos, previous videos, etc.).
Based on the material you give us, we develop and submit for your approval a Creative Treatment. This is an outline which shows how the video begins, develops, and ends. It includes all the relevant points of the video, but the final script will not yet be developed.
After we discuss and you approve the Creative Treatment, we write the full script, which meets all your needs in a fresh, unforgettable way. The script is submitted for your comment, revised, and resubmitted for your approval.
After you have approved the script, we arrange a shoot schedule and do whatever is necessary to prepare for the shoot. This would include booking for professional talent and surveying the location.
Production
Using the best equipment and crew available, we shoot what's needed. Our in-house Broadcast quality equipment is the industry standard. By owning the gear, we can assure you of being very accommodating and cost-effective.
Special equipment, such as a camera jib or dolly, help us cover your subject with the right measure of artistic knack. Our colleagues provide additional equipment and expertise where required. You supervise, watch for technical accuracy as far as it relates to your business, and interface between your personnel and our crew.
Post-Production
We use an in-house state of-the-art non-linear (hard-disk-based) editing system to maximize the quality of your video. This allows us to make changes, which are quick and simple to do. After your review and approval of a rough edited video, the final mix of narration, music, and sound effects (up to 8 tracks of CD-quality sound), the timing is finessed to the split second, and the graphics, special effects, and sophisticated transitions are laid in. The production tells your story accurately, with stylish, engaging, memorable flair.
In a surprisingly short time you receive an edited master tape, ready for duplication to any number of copies in any tape format or international television standard. Or, we output your project as a digital MPEG movie, ready for integration into a CD-ROM, DVD, or Web page. Either way, we can keep a digital master of your edited video in case you would care to make any revisions later.
