LA’s Ballantine Media Arts has years of experience capturing school productions, events and editing promotional vignettes. Founder Steve Ballantine offers an education-focused, professional media capture experience for school administrators.

“The overall purpose of Ballantine Media Arts is to contribute to the greater good.” says owner Steve Ballantine.

While that doesn’t mean that Steve’s company is free, they are inexpensive because they focus on the education market, have low overhead and love what they do. Especially considering the professional quality sound, multiple cameras, editing and production elements that the company brings to educators, including having finished DVDs available for the school to sell or promote as they see fit.

INTERNET
In this changing environment for Charter Schools, Magnet Schools and School Choice reforms, it may pay to have a professional video presence on the internet; including YouTube or other easy-to-find sites showing the unique character of your school or department. A little bit of search engine presence can help potential student families find the uniqueness you offer, not to mention motivated investors or foundations.

ARTS PROGRAMS
It is difficult to capture live productions, especially when those moments of magic happen. For arts schools, it seems critical to promote the combined talents of the students, faculty in a media-savvy way. Having a dedicated professional on the job can help.
