Perfect for our marketing agency needs

very good, the company is VERY responsive to questions and needs.

PROS

anyone with an iPhone can be a filmer very easily, no - little training required. the software mitigates shooting in the wrong format, and makes sure you know what shots should look like all within the app. Unlimited filmers means you can deploy 100's of people.

CONS

need more editing features and ability to move clips from project to project. Would like to be able to capture photos too.

Reason for choosing Cinebody

Needed to capture content from 1500 events throughout the year in various locations while keeping costs low.

Vendor Response

Hi Summer, Thanks so much for the kind words & feedback. We're glad the software is helping your agency! We've been considering editing workflow features, and have moving clips on the roadmap. We got a TON of feedback from users wanting Photo capture, so we recently built and released that feature for both iOS native and web capture/upload.

I've work on two project with the Cinebody team and have had amazing experiences with both Cinebody teams. Not only are they beyond accommodating, they also have the video creativity to suggest what will make for great videos. All finished videos of our projects have captured everything we would have hoped for and even more. It such a pleasure to work with Cinebody!

PROS

The software is easy to install on your phone which makes it easy for our users. Since it's app based, users have the ability to capture videos anytime since everyone always has their phones with them.

CONS

Although I hear it's in the new release, having the ability to capture photos will be an added bonus to the software.

Experienced User

Overall a useful tool. Served its purpose for us on multiple projects. Not too many hangups, reliable.

PROS

I like that it forces spec on the phone, so you're covered if someone forgets to optimize their camera settings for recording. I also like that it takes the guesswork out of offloading for less tech-savvy talent.

CONS

I dislike the browser UI. Even after using for a while I still find myself clicking around to find something instead of intuitively knowing how to get there, and batch functions are almost non-existent. Why can't we view anything in a list? Or organize into folders? The generated naming conventions for clips are also really weird. Uploads from mobile lag hard if the takes are not super short. When the heck is this thing gonna be available for android?? Also, I gotta say I HATE that it still forces camera orientation for the entire project. Almost every campaign we do has a horizontal AND vertical shot for the same project. Orientation should be PER SHOT like the other settings.

Reason for choosing Cinebody

see above

Vendor Response

Thanks for the great feedback, Richard. We have it on our roadmap for this year to release a list view for files to make it easier for viewing & downloading, and also have begun initial planning for an Android app. As for setting orientation per shot, we love that idea & my tech team is diving into it now to see how we can implement it. That's a great feature request!

Crowd based content capture

At first, I thought of Cinebody as a novelty and didn't have a use for it. But then I had a quick turn project come in with zero budget and required footage from across the USA. Cinebody was the perfect solution and was easy and cost effective to implement. Since then, I have used it countless times and during the pandemic, it has been my go to software for capturing authentic content from users.

PROS

The best part of this software is the ability to utilize the cameras on user's smartphones to capture user generated content anywhere in the world. The shot list makes it easy for average users to understand the direction for each shot and ensure they properly capture each shot.

CONS

The software is currently only for iOS, but there are work arounds for android users. I would also like a "download all footage" feature.

Vendor Response

Hi Lucas! Thanks for the kind words. Regarding a download all feature - we recently implemented a list view feature for admins to easier sort, filter, download, and send clips in bulk (including all clips in your project). Take it for a spin and let us know what you think!

Great app for video compilations

Cinebody was an excellent company to deal with. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team were hands on, making sure we knew how to deploy the software. They would always check in and let us know of updates, and encouraged us to reach out if we had any campaigns or exciting ideas we wanted to incorporate Cinebody into.

PROS

The best part of Cinebody is being able to create a project with video standards you define. Once a link is created you can email out the link with simple instructions to using the app and watch the videos roll in. It's great for making compilation videos across a global company like mine.

CONS

Downloading, reviewing, and accessing the clips can be cumbersome at times.

Vendor Response

Hi Sean! Glad to hear the team is attentive to our standards and that you enjoy the software! One significant update we've made recently that may help: admins are now able to view clips in a list/table view. This allows for bulk sorting, filtering, selecting, and downloading all of your clips in bulk. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think!

Cloud Based Production

Cinebody provides a unique opportunity to create content when traditional production isn't possible or necessary. I love the authentic story telling possibilities of working directly with creators to tell their real stories. Especially during the time of COVID-19, big production crews aren't always the best option for authentic story telling! Cinebody has allowed us to create content with people from all over the world!

PROS

As a producer, I love the catered, organized experience that Cinebody allows us to give to content creators. Not all content creators are professional filmers. Th Project description and shot list allow us to give more context so they are capturing everything we need for our final deliverable.

CONS

Currently, I can't wait for Cinebody to integrate the newest filming capabilities of the iPhone 13. I also think a chat feature would be great for easy communication with the content creators working on my projects.

Production in Your Pocket

In the pandemic world, you won't find a better tool to film than Cinebody.

PROS

- Easy to develop prompts and weave story together - Initiative, point and shoot filming for participants - Smart technology ensures we get the best footage possible - Real-time support within the app is invaluable

CONS

- Compatability challenges with Android users - Would like to see an option for users to upload photos within the app - Sorting and cataloging footage on the back end can be burdensome with a high volume of clips

Don't bother with looking anywhere else. This is your partner!

I'm in the business of Customer service and can tell you that [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team blew me away. What we produced in the craziest time frame was mind blowing to me. When I though that we were about to launch and meet the deadline, something on our end came up and in my mind we would be thrown off by a couple days. Nope! [SENSITIVE CONTENT] kinda refused to accept that we were gonna miss the deadline. Neither a weekend nor time of day seemed to be a factor. Whelp, we met the deadline. Oh and by the way, we basically did this in less than 10 ten days, which is unheard of! From the stores all the way to the stake holders in the company, the response was phenomenal!

PROS

Ease of use, and can make anyone look like a pro.

CONS

In all complete and upfront honesty, I cannot think of anything I disliked.

Reason for choosing Cinebody

All honesty, cost wasn't what sold us. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] presentation and willingness to answer/address any questions/concerns as quickly and effectively ads he did, is why we chose Cinebody.

Reasons for switching to Cinebody

The cost differential was enormous. This avenue is also more personalized for all parties involved.

Thanks John! This is easily the most glowing review we've gotten!

An easy to control collaboration

Our overall experience has been great and our edits keep looking better every year with the constant improvements to our phones video quality.

PROS

I love how this app allows you to direct your team to get the shots you absolutely need, while also leaving room for creative freedom. It's great when you end up with additional unique clips you weren't expecting, it makes your final edit that much better!

CONS

There has been a couple of people on our teams that didn't use iPhones so they had to use their web browser to upload clips vs downloading the ios app. That being said, the web browser was still very close to the ios app experience and uploading was still a breeze.

Collaborate with ease. Produce results that stand out.

Cinebody as a software delivers results that matter, at scale and at pace. All supported by a team that is invested in your business goals and needs, and handle it with care, clarity, and consideration.

PROS

Remote capture, in real time, using local devices and OS's has revolutionized content capture, speed and delivery for our teams at dentsu. Being able to see in real time, anywhere in the world, what has and hasn't been shot, captured and edited makes production across numerous projects, with parallel delivery timelines seamless. Incredible software, supported by one of the best teams in the business.

CONS

No real limitations to this software. Once users understand and download, Cinebody becomes an ease to use.

If you're not doing using this in some form then you should.

When productions when dark during COVID we were able to bolster sales by producing videos with User Generated Content. When things opened up we found Cinebody to be useful to bolster our high-end content with more day-to-day videos.

PROS

Accessibility to generate content from multiple viewpoints and sources.

CONS

It would be really nice to have an android app. The price is a little steep for my clients, however it is really easy to show the value this app provides.

Cinebody brings our employees closer together

The team at Cinebody is knowledgeable, professional, and really enjoyable to work with. They're responsive to our needs and committed to seeing us succeed with Cinebody.

PROS

Cinebody has given us the ability to easily capture employee video all over the world, allowing people to contribute who might otherwise not have the chance. The platform is easy to learn, super flexible, and virtually foolproof because the app gets the format right every time and automatically uploads the footage.

CONS

Cinebody is in a class by itself. There's nothing else that compares to it, in our experience, so I have no cons to note.

We signed on for another year!

Our Cinebody Producer, Jake was very easy to work with. He guided us along the ins and outs of the program with many examples of how we could get started. He was available whenever we needed. We have had a great experience so far with our projects. Looking forward to using it more.

PROS

In rural Alberta, Canada, we have great difficulty bringing video crews to our different locations in the region we serve. The ability to create your crew with the participants who are on location was a great value. It saved in production costs and gave the filmers pride to be able to contribute to the project.

CONS

Not having an Android app option to work with. However, we do have a workaround for that.

Perfect Way to Capture Authenticity

Overall, I have enjoyed using Cinebody with my team and found it EXTREMELY beneficial during the pandemic to continue creating authentic content that resonated with our audiences.

PROS

The ability to write out what shot it is that you exactly want and are able to have it organized so you don't have to spend time sifting through 100 videos to find the one you want!

CONS

At times, it's not the most user friendly software for people who are not the most tech-savvy. There have been instances where I have to jump on a call to explain how it works, how to login to a project or use the camera/view the shots.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback, Carly. We are currently developing chat to launch in the app shortly, which will help with communication issues between you and your non-tech-savvy filmers if they have any issues.

Game changing option to have in our production quiver.

First and foremost they are great people. Amazing partners. And they created a product that fills a gap in our need for this type of production. They're on time. On budget. Every time.

PROS

I love when we have a project that is perfect for a Cinebody execution. The software, app, the team, the support and the final product are invaluable to us.

CONS

The only thing I can think of is that, at least in the past, it was a little clunky for those not on iPhone. But i know the team has put a lot of work toward addressing this - maybe even have solved it by now.
