Process & Timeline
How long does a project take?
Timelines vary by scope, scheduling, review cycles, and deliverables. We confirm a working schedule before production begins, and expedited delivery is available for a fee.

Every project follows three phases: Discovery (strategy and brief), Production (filming and direction), and Delivery (editing, color grading, and final cut). You’ll receive regular updates and reviews throughout.

We include two rounds of revisions in every project. Additional revisions are available at an hourly rate. In our experience, most projects are completed within two rounds when the brief is thorough.

We deliver final files via a secure download link in all required formats — broadcast-ready, social media optimized, and web-compressed versions are all included in your delivery package.

Pricing & Budget
Video production starts at $2,850. Each proposal is then tailored to the crew, locations, production requirements, and deliverables in the approved scope.

Yes — we offer monthly video retainer packages for brands that need consistent content. Retainers include dedicated shoot days, priority scheduling, and discounted rates. Great for healthcare, B2B, and home services clients.

Yes. For most projects we conduct a location scout (in person or virtually) prior to the shoot day to confirm lighting, sound conditions, logistics, and creative opportunities.

Creative & Script

Yes — scripting and concept development are core parts of our service. We collaborate with you to build the narrative before any filming begins. A strong brief produces a stronger video.

No problem at all. We work with clients across the spectrum — from those with detailed briefs to those starting from scratch. If you have a script, we’ll review it, offer creative feedback, and build the production plan around it.

We can incorporate motion graphics, lower thirds, title cards, and light animation into your video during post-production. For full explainer or animation-heavy projects, we partner with trusted motion designers.

Standard deliverables are provided in 4K. Alternate formats and aspect ratios, captions, and burned-in subtitles are available on request at no additional charge.
