Commercial / Corporate Video Production and Photo Services In Northern & Top Virginia

Every project is unique, but the production process can be divided into three stages:

Pre-production: This is when we collaborate with you to learn everything we can about your company and define what you need from video. Some of the questions we might consider are: Who is your target audience? What platforms do you want to publish on? What are the key messages you want to convey?

We'll then create a video outline and/or detailed script, confirm budgets, and schedule any filming dates with you.

Production: AKA 'filming'. This is what most people think of when they talk about making videos. Our crew will record all necessary footage, such as interviews, event footage, and product demonstrations. We may film.

Production: AKA 'filming'. When most people think of making videos, they think of this. Our team will record all necessary footage, such as interviews, event footage, and product demonstrations. We may film at your location, our studio, or other locations relevant to the video messages.

Post-production: Once we've captured all of the footage, we'll begin working on the edit, shaping the footage into a cohesive narrative and adding graphics, titles, and music as needed. Before everything is finalized, you will have the opportunity to review one or more drafts and provide feedback.

Some video placements require a specific length. Such as commercials and platforms such as TikTok. Videos on sites like YouTube can be much longer, but it's important to keep your audience in mind. Most web videos should be no more than a few minutes long. This is a general rule, and we'd be happy to discuss your specific situation.

A corporate video typically takes six to eight weeks to complete. Social videos typically require much faster turnaround. We can move as fast as you can. We've discovered that the most time-consuming aspect of creating a commercial or video is the client approval process. If you give us the go-ahead, we can complete your project in record time, unless you're remaking a Jurassic Park.

Because you're paying, we'll gladly use whatever you want. We have some of the most advanced production equipment available, including cameras capable of shooting in 5k resolution, which is more than 6 times the quality of standard 720 HD broadcast. This means we can provide the highest quality lighting, sound, and image capture at the lowest possible cost. However, if you have another interest, we can provide an estimate for that as well.

Once a project is completed, we usually offer one rounds of revisions. That's one more chance to make notes on everything you want changed so you're satisfied with the final product.

We cannot speak for every company or freelancer, but you should expect 1-3 revisions per project. There are obvious exceptions to this rule, but it gives you a general idea of how many changes you can make.

This should all be agreed upon at the start of the project.
