The View South is a unique video production company dedicated to the production of videos for the travel industry. Based in both Buenos Aires, Argentina and Brighton, England.
The View South was founded by Richard Szkiler in April, 2011. Prior to establishing the business in Buenos Aires, Richard filmed and directed for various charities, companies and philanthropic organisations in Sierra Leone and England. Following this, Richard moved to Argentina where he worked at one of Latin America’s largest web media companies, producing videos for fortune 500 companies with the former designer of Apple's Final Cut Pro and OSX interfaces. It was here Richard realised there was a huge lack of high quality video content within the travel sector on the web. With the rise of HD Video DSLR cameras, professional filmmaking had become affordable for all businesses. Thus The View South was born or as some others call it TVS.
The View South is a concept with its origins in the realisation that the majority of travel operators lacked video on their websites. Research indicated that the only reason for the absence of promotional video was perceived production cost. Most travel businesses see the potential of video to enhance their business if the cost is affordable.
So how do we manage to keep our costs so low in comparison to other production companies?
What many companies don't realise is that since the launch of the Canon 5D camera in 2008. The DSLR HD video wave has democratised filmmaking by making large chip cameras affordable prior to this video production was much more costly due to the high prices of large chip cameras. Thanks to the DSLR this is no longer the case. We also outsource some of our talented crew members.
"Text and photographs cannot adequately convey the sights and sounds of Latin America in promoting travel. Streaming video is an essential tool for travel companies and it's the best medium to show your product"
