VIDEO PRODUCTIONS
LONG-FORM
Infomercials, training videos, promotional videos and tourism presentations are a few examples of our experience in long-form video productions. MVA pioneered cable TV in-room hotel tourism programming in the Virgin Islands with Island Insight and At A Glance.
Our crews have shot dozens of cruise ship in-cabin TV programs featuring the ship's upcoming ports of call. View a sample of cruise ship programming.
COMMERCIALS
Commercials for local cable, cable networks, national broadcast or internet delivery need production values seamless with the surrounding programming. We'll bring a team of experienced, talented people using the right equipment to your project. We can take care of the whole process, "script to screen", execute your ideas or bring your ad agency's creative to life in a high quality, affordable TV spot. No exaggeration, we've produced hundreds.
A few examples of our TV commercials may be seen on the Demo Theater page.
DVD TITLES
Whether it's a high-impact direct marketing campaign or an in-house corporate training video, DVD's have become the preferred delivery and playback medium for video productions. DVD's can be as simple as inserting a disc and automatically playing an entire program, or, if the story or message is complex, and you want to give the viewer the option of selecting or repeating a specific part, you'll need an authored DVD. Organizing the multiple levels of DVD chapters can be daunting for the inexperienced. We employ the best post-production and authoring software to help our clients understand the workflow and stay involved throughout.

INTERNET
Web video is probably the fastest growing segment of the internet. Companies are using it for sales and marketing, public relations, human resources, corporate communications, customer service and more. Could your website use a video welcome message, a testimonial or product demo?
Getting video on the internet isn't hard. Anyone with a cell phone can do it, but not very well. There's no magic bullet here, professionals get professional results. Don't settle for a poorly lit, low resolution, barely audible web video when it comes to marketing yourself or your products on the internet. Our philosophy is to create a video to broadcast standards and production values, then encode it for internet delivery.
Bring your website to life with a crisp, fast loading and technically perfect web video.
VIDEO DOCUMENTATION
For those occasions when you just need something videotaped for archives, proof of performance, inclusion in another production or legal or personal reasons our crew will shoot HD or SD and transfer to any medium required. Some possibilities are:
B-Roll footage of venues and properties for promotional distribution
Celebrations and major events
Hurricane damage
Insurance claims
A
day-in-the-life videos
Political campaigns
Real estate transactions
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Every production in the Virgin Islands can benefit from spectacular aerial images. Nothing establishes this exotic location like shots of our tropical island chain, turquoise waters, brilliant beaches and shimmering seas.
Over water MVA has videotaped submarines, power boats, sportfishing boats, sailboats and cruise ships. Over land we've shot hotel properties, golf courses, movie locations, concerts, parades, landmarks, refineries and islands for sale.
CREWS
MVA provides production crews and equipment for assignment anywhere in the Caribbean. Our local, national and international clients are those whose expectations of quality are high, and we satisfy them by providing reliable professionals at an affordable price. Our crews are experienced in all facets of production, but our specialty is saltwater sports.
