FAQ
-
“How much is this going to cost?”
Video budgets aren’t one size fits all. The price changes depending on pre-production time, crew size, locations, gear, talent, and post-production.
We lock a line item estimate, allowing you to see the cost long before cameras roll so there are never any surprises.
It is important that we ensure every dollar put into the production is justified and necessary.
-
“How long will it take from start to finish?”
Time range varies, this is all dependent on the development time, pre-production, production, and post-production.
For a simple project with quick social turnarounds can take 1 to 7 days to complete. An elaberate project could take 2 weeks to a full year.
If you are on a tight launch date, we build a rush schedule and staff up to make the deadline. At the end of the day, its based on your vision, time, and budget. Great things take time.

“What does the production process look like?”
1) Discovery - (goals, audience, creative direction)
2) Pre-production - (script, storyboards, schedule)
3) Production - (on-set filming)
4) Post - (editing, color, sound, graphics)
5) Delivery & revisions - Each phase has clear checkpoints so you always know where we are.
6) Distribution - This is an extra cost and process to have larger production be distributed to major streaming platforms, or a strategic marketing plan for YouTube and social channels.

“Do I need to bring the creative idea, or can you handle that?”
We work with either process. Come with a fully baked concept or just a marketing goal, we can develop scripts, shot lists, and visuals from scratch, collaborate on your outline, or plug into an in house creative team.
-
“What formats/deliverables will I get?”
Each project will have different deliverables. Long form, short form reels, website content, and photos are all project dependent. This may not be the answer you are looking for, but we make sure everything is customized to each client, so you don’t have the same cookie cutter outcome that these other production companies sell.

“How do we know the video was successful?”
We set success metrics at kickoff (views, watch-time, conversions, lead value). After launch we track performance, share analytics dashboards, and—if you want—iterate new edits or A/B versions to keep boosting ROI.
We offer a paid guarantee of 9 million views distribution option for every project. This is something no other companies offer.
