In a world full of negative news, noisy advertising, and obnoxious interruptions of our daily life, Provid Films was founded with one commercial video production goal. That goal was to empower organizations and business leaders in telling their story. Stories about organizations like Depart Smart. The athletic, vibrant, role model student Tyler Hill (barely 16 years old at the time) researched and chose to take of on a People to People Student Ambassador trip to Japan.After his researching and preparing for the trip - he and his loving parents hugged and kissed before flying off on his journey.
Our qualified, friendly, and competent video production crews help you overcome challenging situations easily. Brand film, product films, social media content, tradeshow or branded environment content, television spots, and web pre-roll spots. Minneapolis based equipment rental, location scouting, casting, and on-location or studio production.
Whether you're looking for a camera crew, a green screen studio to record a talking head corporate training video, or an on-site event livestreamed. Listen to what a few of the people we've filmed have said about working with Provid Films. The video below here includes interviews of corporate executives which Provid Films recorded at CH Robinson corporate headquaters.
Many on-site projects where talent is speaking directly into the camera will use a camera prompter where the camera shoots "through the lens". A large benefit is the mobility of this setup where you can have the camera easily follow a subject panning side to side or tilting up and down on a tripod (or crane, slider, dolly, etc).

I went to Provid Films to record a speech to an Australian client, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Travis Johansen and his colleagues were complete professionals, worked efficiently, and most importantly ensured that the final product was a great one that very much pleased the client. Thanks!

Provid Films and Travis and Ashley were wonderful and professional with the talent. The company I work for is in St. Louis, so everything was in Travis and Ashley's hands. The footage looks great! Will definitely work with again and recommend for others in the Minneapolis area! THANK YOU!

Travis has done amazing work for me in the past. Now he has produced a video for my website that is fantastic and that says everything I could possible want it to say. I am extremely pleased with all facets of the video. I give Travis and Pro Vid films the highest possible rating.

Working with Travis was wonderful. He never lost sight of my vision for the project, and yet he contributed his own creativity, which ended up far better than I had envisioned. Travis is good natured and maybe even laidback, which made it fun to work with him. I highly recommend Travis.

After interviewing half a dozen videographers that were recommended to me by trusted colleagues, I chose Provid to create a promotional video. Travis was a total professional onsite, Tatum was very helpful, and the finished product was delivered much sooner than promised. The final product was amazing, highly exceeding my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Provid again, and I've already given out their name to two other people. A+

Travis & Provid Films are rock solid in my opinion. It was really helpful to bounce our marketing thoughts off him and have a second opinion on how we tell our story. Passion for video mixed with savvy marketing - top notch!

Provid Films did a tremendous job producing our Western Region video. The impactful, high-quality production received rave reviews from The Main Street Group's independent insurance agents across our region's 13 property/casualty states and helped us generate new business, which was our ultimate goal. I highly recommend Provid Films to all other organizations looking for an effective marketing approach to target their customers. We will definitely be working Travis again on our next video!

I've worked with Travis on three different videos now. Each experience has been better than the one before. Generally, I contact Travis with a short time window, and every time, he delivers. Our three videos have been collectively viewed by nearly 1 million people now. A large part is due to the strong video capturing and editing sense that Travis affords himself.

I've worked with a number of video people over the years, and I have been very happy with my experience with Travis. I'm looking forward to work with him in the months and years to come.
