Frequently asked questions

Can I provide my own script or interview questions?

Yes. We include writing and planning as part of many base packages but offer reduced rates if you’d prefer to handle the planning. Most of our direct-to-camera packages assume the client will provide their own messaging and video outline.

How much do video projects cost?

Most video projects range between $3,000-$15,000. We offer a number of base packages that can be customized to the unique needs of your project.

What’s included in your service packages?

Our service packages aim to maximize value by bundling our core services together and are a combination of planning hours, gear and crew packages, and editing time. The exact services vary per package/quote. Budgets are typically broken down as follows:

  • Project management and strategy
  • Pre-production, writing, and creative  
  • Production (filming)
  • Post-production (editing or motion)
  • Expenses (music, actors, etc.)
How long do video projects take?

Most video projects take between 3-8 weeks depending on the type of project and considering creative planning, filming, editing, and approval throughout. We can work with you on an accelerated timeline when needed.

What if I only need filming?

If you are looking to edit the footage yourself, we offer an array of production-only packages. Our filming only packages range from $1,200-$2,700+ and we can usually schedule a shoot within 1-2 weeks. Our production team regularly works with other agencies, producers, or event companies, enabling them to create great results for their end clients.
