We recently connected with Akshay Thomas and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Akshay thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea
When I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Film Production, I was looking for a video editing position at a local post-production house. I planned to work at a company for a while and get established before starting my own. After countless interviews, I soon realized that most workplaces I applied to weren’t willing to pay a reasonable wage. I decided I needed to shift my focus.
With my Wife’s blessing, she gave me the time to start up my own production company: Andromeda Films. The first few months were tough. As the year progressed, I heard from more and more local businesses to produce commercial and video content. Over a year later, I’ve developed many great relationships with incredible business owners across the state.
Akshay, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hi! My name is Akshay Thomas (Ock-shay).
I’m a videographer that specializes in commercial, music, and social video content. I established my production company last fall and have produced for all types of businesses. For example, I’ve done work for a coffee shop, jewelry brand, video game store, multiple hobby stores, an auto repair shop, and more.
I try to provide unique creative solutions to marketing videos for your business. Something I’m most proud of is how I capture a brand’s tone and feel. Everyone has their own identity and I work hard to make sure what I produce represents your business. I also come from the world of film, so I take a cinematic approach to my work.
If you have a need for video content, on any platform, I’d be happy to work with you.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
When I started showing more behind-the-scenes content on Instagram, I started to see growth. People like seeing authenticity on social media. Don’t be afraid to show the work behind your craft.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
I strive to offer the best results for their investment in what I do. I also work hard to treat my clients with mutual respect and be accessible to those that aren’t familiar with the process. And finally, I do my best to make sure that everything is clear before I shoot I single frame.
