About Us

It is where great ideas begin, how problems are solved and business transformed. The three year old who ties a blanket around his shoulders can easily imagine flying around and saving the world. But as we get older that imagery...that imagination, begins to fade.
At Redhot Media Productions we believe that the spark is still there in all of us, just waiting to be ignited. We'll help bring your project to life - we'll give you options and choices along the way so that in the end, you'll have a project you're proud of. So bring us your web sites, sales videos and postcard mailers and let's get our imaginations fired up!
------ Process ------
Imagination and creativity are all fine and good. But it also takes structured project management to make a project truly successful. We've developed project processes and tools that help communicate ideas, track progress and optimize time spent on task so that we can deliver high quality products in an efficient and cost effective manner.
One of the tools we use is Redhot Brainstorm. This tool allows clients to log in and view their prototypes, write notes, doodle on them and communicate their ideas back to the project team. This communication eliminates emails and attachments, phone calls and missed meetings and helps ensure that the project stays on track.If the scope of the project requires, we'll create a statement of work (SOW), a work breakdown structure (WBS) and PERT chart that enable us to fine tune the project, identify the critical path and make sure you get your project on time and on budget!
------ Service ------
So we're creative and organized. So what? The most important factor at the end of the day is SERVICE. Our ultimate goal at Redhot Media Productions is your satisfaction. It's more than just getting a great product at a great price...it's the little things too. It's courtesy and respect. It's the friendly phone call to update you on the status of a project. It's trying to find a way to make our product and service more valuable to you and your customers. It's making sure that you aren't spending more than you have to. It's about building a long lasting working relationship.
------ Background ------
Redhot Media Productions is owned and operated by Dan Knapp, a 20 year veteran of the video, multimedia and software development industries. People often ask where the name "Redhot" came from. Well, the name was conceived in the middle of summer in Redding California... it was around 112 degrees outside. Ok, so maybe THAT didn't take much imagination!
Redhot Media Productions is founded on several core principles:
1 - Integrity. We will treat clients, contractors and employees like people should be treated: with honesty and respect.
2 - Ownership. We take responsibility for what we do. If we make an error, we will go above and beyond what needs to be done to make it right.
3 - Wow'em. At the conclusion of a project, we want our clients to be blown away. We'll take that extra step and deliver more than what was expected.
4 - Quality. We care about what we do and we want it to show in the quality of the product we produce.
5 - Fun. Life is too dang short. Making someone laugh is on our to-do list every day. And we never, ever take ourselves too seriously. For heaven's sake, we aren't brain surgeons after all.
