All about security company video production
The world of security
Many countries have been investing huge amounts of money in the military and homeland security (HLS) market for many years. Terrorist organizations, conflicts between countries, disputed and threatened borders – all of these have made the field of security a permanent and weighty component of government budgets all over the world.
Security projects are long-term, and extremely complex. They often depend on multi-year budgets approved at the highest levels in governments and armies – senior command, defense ministers, chiefs of staff, etc. Security companies and corporations around the world compete for large tenders to provide defense, weapons and control systems for armies, police and intelligence organizations in various countries. The competition has expanded and with it the need to find new marketing methods that will allow a substantial advantage against the growing competition.
High Demands
Marketing videos for the security market are highly complex, and often combine live action footage, animation and graphics to illustrate complex and classified processes which are complicated to present.
Security company videos aimed for the target audience of decision makers in the defense system are required to present a concept or system in a very clear, timely manner. Due to the fact that it is sometimes a one-time presentation to the most senior command levels in defense companies, the IDF or foreign armies – there is no second chance to make a first impression. Air defense systems, missiles, satellites and planes – complicated and advanced systems whose operation requires the videos to be simplified and summarized. All of this places a particularly high standard of demands on the field of defense marketing in general with an emphasis on security marketing videos. Another field of expertise are security systems instructional videos, used for training on complex and sometimes dangerous scenarios.
Video production – Sensitivity and Clearance
The production process of marketing videos in the field of defense is fundamentally different from the production of marketing videos for other fields. First of all, these are often classified and sensitive subjects. And it’s not just about security sensitivity – business clearance is also of immense importance. It is enough for a competitor to receive sensitive information about a groundbreaking product in order to thwart a huge deal or copy a patent worth millions of dollars.
In order to produce the videos and be exposed to the content, the production company must employ professionals with a suitable security clearance whose credibility with the customer is not in doubt. Security customers are known to be very suspicious of new suppliers – and keep working with the same suppliers they trust for many years.
The field of security clearance requires lengthy processes of inspections and approvals by competent bodies on behalf of the government. The higher the level of clearance, the longer and more complex the process. From background checks, through in-person interviews to rigorous lie detector tests. After receiving the clearance, the professionals are required to work in different conditions than in regular projects. Many entities possess special video equipment that has passed appropriate approvals for classified work. Editing and animation work is often required to be carried out in special areas such as at bases or secured facilities due to the fact that certain materials cannot be taken out for editing elsewhere.
