Darn Good Docs

Darn Good Documentaries produces authentic, documentary video. Real people delivering your message in their own words.

• What is a documentary video?

  At DGD, almost any video project can be created as a documentary. You define the communication objectives and tell us whom to interview (e.g., management team, employees, students, customers). We outline, interview, shoot, script, edit, and deliver the final video (with approvals along the way, of course).
  
  At DGD, a documentary video is…

  • Credible, creative, and authentic
  • Carefully planned and managed
  • Full of valuable surprises

• How long is a documentary video?

  It’s about style, not about length. We can create a 30-second TV spot, a series of 3-minute webisodes, a 30-minute customer education piece, or a feature-length film.

• Why should you consider a documentary video?

  
  Because it works remarkably well – especially when compared to the traditional approach. When your message is delivered by real people in their own words, you connect with your audience’s minds and hearts. They are touched by personal stories so they remember more and are moved to take action.

  It’s also a great way to save time and money. In many cases, one documentary video can serve several purposes. For example, one education client uses the same video for fundraising mailings, an annual banquet presentation, and student recruitment. It works for business and nonprofit clients, too.
