“I recommend StoryMo to everyone I know who is looking for a way to set their business apart and get their brand across loud and clear to consumers. The price is very reasonable for the quality of work put into it and for the amount of business we have procured because of it. The turn-around time was quick, the cost was appealing, and the resulting video is the best thing we have done for our business.”

Word of mouth is a powerful sales tool and we’d like to reward our friends and fans of StoryMo with a 10% commission when you encourage someone to purchase a StoryMo video. All you need to do is fill out the form below and send it in when you know someone is going to take your advice and purchase a StoryMo package. But don’t delay, you must file for your commission before the video is finished and posted on the Internet. We will not process any commission requests if the referenced video has already been finished and made public.

Commission payments are paid via PayPal.

Commission Form

Talented director producers, skilled at cinematic story telling are welcome to partner with StoryMo to create a unique building block for their media company. The StoryMo template approach to creating an unscripted, quality custom video is a sales tool that allows you to market your production services to clients who have previously never thought about using a video to promote their product or service. Many production companies find themselves waiting for clients to call with a job. In the mean time, you can market the StoryMo package to a virtually endless supply of new customers. And when one of these customers wants something that takes the job outside of the StoryMo template, collect their parameters and offer to solve their communication problem under your company name.

How it works:

• First we need to get acquainted. Please fill out the form below.
• We will review your resume and online work samples. We’ll talk with you about the StoryMo opportunity.
• If approved, we’ll encourage you to bring in a StoryMo customer, they must pay for the package using the PayPal link on this site.
• We will create a StoryMo branded business card that you can purchase online along with other marketing tools.
• We will supply you with appropriate logo art for the StoryMo tag used at the end of all StoryMo videos.
• You will shoot, edit and submit this first StoryMo video to us for review.
• Upon approval, you will supply the finished video to the customer and we will release payment to you less 20%. If you secured the video through an Associate, StoryMo will pay 5% of the 10% commission.
• We will post the finished video in the StoryMo gallery.
• If you successfully complete two StoryMo videos, we will issue a press release in your region, announcing your partnership with StoryMo. You will be authorized to update your LinkedIn profile with StoryMo information and invited to become an admin on the StoryMo FaceBook page so you can upload videos to the page and write on the wall.

StoryMo is the brainchild of Matthew Billings and Phil McCoy. Two highly experienced creative professionals with backgrounds in commercials, corporate television, industrial films and entertainment.

We are Seattle-based, with a growing affiliate network of video directors and producers who believe in the power of engaging video storytelling to connect with and influence audiences. Over the last twenty years, we’ve created countless videos for advertising, corporate and broadcast clients who typically have sizable budgets. We realized there was a need to bring quality cinematic and enterprise-level storytelling to the masses – at an affordable price point. This is our goal with StoryMo.

We encourage you to view our work and then purchase your own StoryMo video.

StoryMo services are currently available in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Seattle Metropolitan area and vicinity (Bellingham to Olympia). We will happily bring our service to locations around the world (add travel fees) or arrange for local associates to work with you.

Do You Have a Question?

Most of the questions we receive are about modifications to our service. Can we add locations? Can we make the video longer? The answer is of course, yes! Just keep in mind that if we need to modify our service, our price will change, too. Please read the FAQ to see if your question has already been answered, before using the form below. Thanks!

We arrive and setup at the location where your story will be told. We interview you for twenty minutes. Then we’ll spend up to three hours shooting video of your work environment, something we call b-roll. We will film you working and interacting with customers and using the tools of your trade.

Then we take these materials back to our offices and spend up to six hours editing them with appropriate music into a very professional video that tells your story. Your finished video will be posted on the internet in a format that you can embed on your website. We’ll also give you a disk with a copy of your video.

Preparing for your StoryMo video is simple.

If you would like to explore the StoryMo package further, familiarize yourself with the information on this page and then take the next two steps.

1. Read the FAQ (frequently asked questions) to familiarize yourself with our standard operating practices.
2. Fill out our Discovery Information Form and send it to us for a free no obligation consultation. The form asks you to tell us what questions we can ask to reveal the content of your video and the scenarios we should videotape to enhance your message.

Consultation and Purchase

After we receive your discovery information, we will arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss our custom approach for your StoryMo video. If you like our proposal and want to go forward, we will be pleased to schedule the work for your StoryMo package when we have recieved notification of payment.

A Typical StoryMo Experience

We arrive and setup at the location where your story will be told. We interview you for twenty minutes. Then we’ll spend up to three hours shooting video of your work environment, something we call b-roll. We will film you working and interacting with customers in up to four different scenarios using the tools of your trade.

Then we take these materials back to our offices and spend up to six hours editing them with appropriate music into a very professional video that tells your story. Your finished video will be posted on the internet in a format that you can embed on your website. We’ll also give you a disk with a copy of your video.

How to Prepare for Your StoryMo Experience

This is a list of the basic items you must provide for the shoot. There may be additional items identified during the consultation.

1. For each of the four different scenarios (activities) identified in your discovery information and confirmed in your consultation, make all necessary arrangements so that these four situations are readily available during the scheduled hours of our video shoot.
2. You will need to provide a quiet, fifteen foot square space (minimum) for on-camera interviews. Audio only interviews can be conducted in a quiet office.
3. Clean up all areas where we will be filming.
4. Make arrangements with the people or customers that you’d like to include in the video. For instance, if you run a yoga studio, it would be great to have a few students on hand so we can film a class demonstration. Also, you are responsible for collecting a talent release from everyone who appears in your video. You are welcome to use our StoryMo release form for this purpose.
5. Please gather appropriate props and/or the tools of your trade.

These guidelines apply to everyone who will be videotaped.
