Compare Gorilla to the competition? Okay, if we must.
We know there are other film production software choices out there. We know because we've tried them all - the old ones and the new ones. Some companies have actually tried to "copy" Gorilla, offering an even cheaper, yet much inferior solution.
The best advice we can give you is try them all and make a decision for yourself depending on the scope of your project and what each individual piece of software can bring to your project. But, if you insist on seeing one, we’ve taken a stab at a basic feature & price comparison chart for your reference.
Marry the girl, you marry the family.
Buying software is more than what you get in the box. The company behind the box, the software’s user community and the sales and technical support you get are just as important. Our software has been tried and tested since its initial release in July of 2002. We have a loyal customer base and reputable resellers all over the world. Our technical support is unparalleled either by phone, by e-mail or in-person. That's right. If you have a problem with Gorilla come by our office and we'll help you through it. We constantly conduct free seminars in places all across the USA (and coming soon, overseas). We offer personal training at our office and group training onsite at your location, film school or film community group. Our company has not been bought over and over again, we are the original owners... and most importantly, we are independent filmmakers, just like you.
