Monarch Productions

Weddings

The biggest day of your life is also the busiest, most fun and fastest day of your life! That’s why Monarch Productions absolutely recommends that you look into wedding videography for that special day. With all the festivities, toasts, gifts, speeches, tears, dancing, eating (or lack thereof) the day will be a total blur. Having a wedding video will allow you to not only relive those great moments you remember during your wedding celebration, but also the moments you never had the opportunity to see! Even if you decide not to hire Monarch Productions to capture your special day we definitely encourage you to pursue a professional videographer to make sure you can forever cherish one of the best days of your life!

Commercials

Ever thought about reaching a more broad range of clients for your business or product? Why not make a commercial? Whether it be for radio, television or even internet-steaming from your website a commercial can give your target audience a visual, intellectual and emotional perspective on your company. From brainstorming and storyboarding to acting and post-production, you can be sure that Monarch Productions will do its best to capture the emotional attachment of potential clients everywhere.

Documentaries

Is this a championship year for your team? Are you getting ready to host the biggest event of your life? Do you plan on implementing a new strategy in your company? What better way to capture historic/epic moments, document periods of change, record progress, or present your strategies of improvement than with a DOCUMENTARY! Trace your every step: the good, the bad, the tears of joy and the tears of pain. A documentary with Monarch Productions will absorb the very process you need to preserve for future promotion, personal development, or just pure audience enjoyment.

Sports Highlights

Do you have aspirations of playing at the college level? Are you hoping that sports will provide a means for you to pay for a college education? In a world where college tuition is an ever-increasing inflation of costs one can only hope to find an avenue of financial aid! Why not use your God-given gifts as an outstanding athlete to pave your way through college? By no means will a highlight video of your achievements on the field automatically get you into school, but if you have the academics, the will and desire, then a sports highlight video from Monarch Productions will help you and your family catch the eyes of college coaches across the nation!

Short Films

Monarch Productions has a great passion for making films and surely enjoys in participating in a variety of film contests nationally and internationally. Our films are simply for entertainment and we would love to have your support in any contest that we pursue. Contact us to sign up for our Film Contest Alert so we can keep you updated on all the film contests Monarch Productions participates in throughout the year!

Instructional Videos

In today’s ever-growing technological society one of the most efficient methods of teaching your employee’s or students is through video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then just imagine what a moving picture with words is worth! Your intentions might be to teach employees about a new software program your company is using or possibly an orientation video for new employees. How about an exercise video that provides athletes with the newest and most intuitive methods of becoming bigger, stronger and faster. What about an interesting skit-oriented video that relates Algebra to everyday life? Whatever your objective is as a leader in your organization, community, or environment you can best believe that a video production is one of the best ways to deliver your message/content effectively and efficiently.

DVD Duplication

Need old VHS Tapes transferred to DVD or do you simply need multiple copies of your video production? Monarch Productions can provide you with a quick and simple duplication/archiving service that will match your needs.

At Monarch Productions we have fun taking our job seriously. We have the right tools and more importantly the right people to ensure you the most efficient and the most effective product possible.

A little history

In 2004 Kevin Heraldo and Randy West joined forces to create what is now known as Monarch Productions. Their love for filmmaking combined with their extensive history in video production lead them to start their own video production company.

The very first project that MP took on was the highlight video for the 2004 Meadowbrook Monarch Football team. This turned out to be no ordinary highlight video! With the Monarchs winning the State Championship and MP capturing the whole thing on video the public was waiting for a story to be told!

The video turned out to be a local hit receiving praise from local Comcast Executives all the way to the CCPS Superintendent, who stated, “This was better than Remember the Titans . . . !”

After the success of their highlight video, MP began growing, fast! While perfecting their craft by producing wedding videos, recruiting videos, anniversary/remembrance videos, and even a local restaurant commercial, MP was approached by the Colonial Heights School System to help promote their renown Transition Program.
Because of their creativity, personality and commitment to their work, MP was chosen by

CHPS for their video project over many other great video production companies in the midatlantic region.

From here MP opened eyes of clients not only from Central Virginia, but from all over the world. MP has since been fortunate to work for highly successful clients in New York, L.A., Miami, and London doing television shows, conference videos, seminar videos, and carpentry work for a film set! From commercials and short films to sports highlights and weddings, not matter what it may be you can be sure MP will provide first class service and a first class product!
