Videocafe

Videocafe is a video production house based in Attard whose focus is summed up in three words: video for brands. It creates video content for companies, using current technology to make the process smoother and the turnaround quicker than a traditional production.

For a UK business with customers, partners or staff in Malta, a local team can handle filming on the island while you manage the project from home. Videocafe is listed in our video production directory, and this page explains how it works and how to start.

How Videocafe works

The team uses remote collaboration tools and cloud-based post-production platforms to streamline each stage of a video, from planning to finished edit. In practice, that means clients can review cuts online and give feedback without travelling to the office, which suits international clients, marketing teams working across time zones and anyone with a tight schedule.

Technology is a central part of the pitch, and the aim is a seamless process with faster delivery. When you enquire, ask how many review rounds are included, how feedback is collected, which file formats you receive and how the finished video is delivered.

The company also invites clients to sit down in person. You are welcome to talk through your brand over a coffee at the Attard offices, or you can leave a message about the project and receive a reply within a few hours.

What kind of video suits a brand

Brand video can mean a short social film, a product demonstration, a corporate introduction or a campaign for several channels. Before you contact any production house, decide what the video must achieve, who will watch it and where it will appear, because those answers set the length, style and budget.

The sample frame shown on this page comes from a film that places a classic car beside a moored yacht, a good example of how a still can convey a lifestyle brand. Our guides to things to do in Malta and the best beaches in Malta show the settings available for tourism and lifestyle shoots.

Businesses setting up in Malta may also want an introductory film. Our Malta relocation guide and the overview of the financial services sector in Malta explain the setting your brand is entering.

Planning a shoot in Malta

If you are travelling for a shoot, the island's seasons affect light and comfort. Our Malta weather guide lists conditions month by month, and flights to Malta and where to stay in Malta help with logistics. The island is small, so locations in the capital, Valletta and elsewhere can often be combined in a single day.

Mention in your enquiry how many people will be on screen, whether you need interviews, drone views or voice-over, and what deadline you are working to.

Questions to ask before you commission

Whichever production house you choose, a few questions save trouble later. Who will direct and edit your video, and will you see a rough cut before the final version? Are music licences, subtitles and versions for different social channels included? Can the video be cut into shorter clips for later campaigns?

It is also sensible to ask how footage is stored after the project and whether you can have the original files. A team that works in the cloud should be able to explain this clearly, and it is a useful way to compare one production house with another.

Getting in touch

Videocafe provides quotes on request instead of publishing prices, so describe your brief as fully as you can. A few lines on the purpose, audience, desired length, locations and deadline will let the team respond with a useful quote.
