Our mission is simple: We want to help you.

Today, there are lots of video production companies to choose from.  Just like all industries, some do a good job and some don't. We are among those that do a great job (and we have the examples to prove it). So what sets us apart from the others who also do a great job?

Client Focused
We are a client-centered, problem-solving business that strives to provide a quality service at a reasonable cost, producing work that reflects positively on our industry and community. We treat all of our clients with the same level of attention, regardless of the scope and cost of their project.

That means that when you bring a project to us, we do our best to complete that project in the most professional way possible. If it's a project that requires problem solving, we make every attempt to solve it because we enjoy solving problems. We are not in business to fulfill our creative impulses - we want to fulfill your video and media production needs.

Standards
We aren't edgy, crazy, or cutting edge. We are a professional company and as such, we strive to produce work that we can be proud to show the community and our industry. We adhere to the "grandma test" - if we cannot show our work to our grandmothers, then we will not undertake the project. 

Longevity
Athens Video has been serving the Athens areas since 1983 when we began as a small company filming and editing weddings, converting 8 mm reel film to VHS tape, and making photo montages. Today, we work with national companies around the country, as well as local businesses, organizations, institutions, and people like you.

Forward Thinking
We are interested in emerging technologies and look for new ways to solve old problems. We enjoy helping solve our client's problems, regardless if we've seen the problems before. The way we learn and stay sharp is by having to solve new and difficult problems.
