My Own Productions
Transforming Videos into Storytelling Masterpieces

Just as moths drawn to the flickering glow of flames, masses yield to the captivating magnetism of an expertly spun tale. Good stories are not mere tales made to entertain; they are acts of persuasion crafted to captivate audiences, evoke emotions, and create enduring memories.

As Michael Galgano, creative director at My Own Productions says, “Storytelling has undergone a significant change in the modern world. Meaningful storytelling, when dovetailed with quality visual content, creates the right blend for brands to connect with the target audience—an ideal tool to elevate their appeal in today’s age of digital marketing.”

This is, however, not devoid of potential challenges; businesses’ limited to no knowledge about the art of storytelling often puts them in a tough spot. From storyboards to screens, they require expert guidance that can bring their powerful stories to life—in every frame. This is where My Own Productions adds value to clients.

An industry leader in top-tier video productions, My Own Productions is proficient in producing cutting-edge video content that is engaging, original, and dynamic while maintaining an eye for quality. This full-service production company regards content quality as paramount and consistently avoids rushing projects.

“Whether big-ticket films or thirty-second commercials, production quality is pivotal in creating video content that captivates the masses and inspires imaginations for generations to come. However, the lack of well-defined plans and strict adherence to schedules can lead to a rushed production process, hampering the final products’ quality and impact. This can compromise the video content’s cohesiveness and storytelling potential,” says Galgano.

Established and led by a veteran, My Own Productions embodies the principles of military-style time management, adaptability, and precision. This empowers it to craft compelling stories that consistently exceed client needs and expectations. Coupled with the versatility across a diverse range of genres and formats—from commercials to feature-length independent films—the firm stands tall for its service excellence, serving a broad clientele spanning multiple industries.

My Own Productions’ exceptional flexibility and quick responsiveness were exhibited during a major tech showcase event. Upon receiving a producer’s request for specific B-roll footage from two booths, its team promptly secured the required shot and integrated them into the ongoing coverage. The company has also assisted another client during the same event by shooting over 15 videos for their marketing endeavors, totaling 25 videos in a single day. This illustrates the company’s agility in delivering comprehensive services for clients at high volumes.

Strategic Planning is the Game Plan

Team My Own Productions follows a collaborative approach to making every project successful. From the initial client interactions, the company discerns the actual purpose behind creating or post-producing the video. It emphasizes involvement from the initial pre-production phase, laying a clear roadmap for all necessary processes. This insight into the client’s ultimate goals, coupled with a project execution map, gives My Own Productions the natural edge in delivering projects on time.

The meticulous planning to manage production processes exemplifies the company’s motto— no crunch, no rush, only results.

Illustrating the company’s commitment to planning and scheduling is an instance that occurred during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Amidst widespread shutdown, My Own Productions undertook a project to produce some videos for a leading school. After thorough discussion and planning, Galgano personally orchestrated the shooting, editing, and thumbnail creation for 100 videos—all within a 30-day timeframe. What empowered the My Own Productions team to bag this success is its ability to follow a tight, pre-determined schedule.

At the onset of each week, typically on Mondays, its team convenes to discuss and plan the task for the forthcoming days. Adhering rigorously to these schedules, My Own Productions ensures seamless task execution. The following days, from Tuesdays to Thursdays, are solely dedicated to editing processes, where the raw footage is transformed into polished, engaging videos. This meticulous strategy enables its team to maintain focus on refining the quality and coherence of their work. Fridays are earmarked for finalizing the videos. Here, it performs the comprehensive review and approval process to ensure the content aligns well with the highest standard within the industry. Upon approval, these videos are swiftly uploaded and strategically scheduled for distribution, ensuring timely delivery to clients and audiences. My Own Productions’ proven approach highlights its dedication to delivering exceptional content while effectively managing production workflow.

“Our hands-on involvement in the production process effectively minimizes stress levels during the post-production phase,” says Galgano.

In a recent client engagement, My Own Production’s involvement in the pre-production phases yielded exceptional outcomes for an interview project, exceeding all their expectations. This proactive approach facilitated the seamless integration of a more authentic sky setting into the backgrounds, elevating the visual impacts of the final frames. The team’s foresight in capturing footage at an appropriate elevation during pre-production allowed for a smooth implementation of this change during post-production. Its dedication to achieving lifelike results, where its work seamlessly merges into the overall production, underscores My Own Production’s excellence in post-production. The recognition garnered for the VFX work validates the firm’s approach and emphasizes the significance of its contributions to the final products.

My Own Production’s Way of Excellence

My Own Productions’ commitment to production quality is best complemented by its collection of state-of-the-art equipment and high-caliber tools. These include top-of-the-line cameras with camera-to-cloud capabilities, eliminating the need for external services such as Frame.io and simplifying the editing process. The upgrade empowers My Own Productions to swiftly transfer video footage or files to a cloud-based storage system, making them shareable in real time to accommodate any additional client requests while improving overall efficiency.

“Quality is at the core of everything we do. We never create for the sake of creation; we uphold a commitment to excellence in every endeavor, regardless of its scale or scope,” says Galgano.

A dedicated team of videographers, editors, and pre and post-production experts drives the My Own Productions engine and its service excellence. Drawing from their combined expertise in producing video content for local and global brands, the company stands as a one-stop-shop for clients across the broad.

Distinguishing itself further, My Own Productions addresses a gap in the industry by educating small businesses on setting aside the right budget for marketing through promotional videos. It provides guidance on the optimal methods to allocate and maximize the marketing budgets and make informed decisions about video production expenditures. This helps them to strategically leverage and distribute the videos, ultimately enhancing the overall impact of its content.

Expansion is the Next Mile Stone

Continuing its pursuit of service excellence, My Own Productions is actively exploring innovative avenues to enhance and expand its video production services across diverse media channels. Its strategic roadmap entails securing a dedicated space for the full virtual production studio. This forward-looking initiative aims to give the company the flexibility to conduct shoots seamlessly, transcending geographical constraints. The objective is to break the cost barrier for independent filmmakers and enable them to elevate their creative capacities.

All of these investments serve as a testament to the company’s commitment for immortalizing brand stories through its high-quality video production. After all, a compelling narrative spreads effortlessly and no force can stop it. My Own Production stands as a true ally for all businesses willing to wield the power of visual storytelling to gain a competitive edge in reaching target audience.
