How it works
Relationship first. Then the camera.
01
Get to know you
We start with a conversation about your business, your people and what you want video to do for you.
02
Plan the story
Together we shape the message, the people on camera and the plan for the shoot. Your booking payment locks in your filming date.
03
Film
On location at your business or event, or in our studio in Columbiana.
04
Edit and deliver
You see a first cut within 5 to 10 business days, get two rounds of changes, then your final files, ready to post.
Where we film: based at our studio in Columbiana, OH (44408), we film within about 40 miles, including Youngstown, Boardman, Canfield, Salem, Lisbon, East Liverpool, Warren and Alliance, across Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties, plus Beaver and Lawrence counties in Western PA (New Castle, Beaver Falls). Filming farther across Ohio is available on request.
No acting required
What to expect on shoot day.
Most people we film aren't actors. They're business owners, shop managers and community leaders. We keep filming relaxed, conversational and easy on your workday.
1 to 2 weeks out
1. Before we arrive
No scripts to memorize. Unless it's a tight TV spot, we send simple talking points and guide you through a natural conversation.
What to wear: what you'd wear to meet a great client. Solid, mid-tone colors or clean company workwear. Skip thin stripes, busy patterns, bright white and big logos. Bring a second outfit if you can.
Pick the spots. We'll help you choose 1 or 2 quiet areas for interviews and some busy areas for b-roll.
Send us your stuff: your logo, brand colors, must-say points, and any off-limits areas or safety-gear rules.
On site or in our studio
2. During the shoot
We handle setup. We usually arrive 45 to 60 minutes early to set up lights and sound. We'll plan the timing with you, since every project is different.
Guided interviews, usually 30 to 45 minutes per person. You talk to your producer, not a cold lens. If you stumble, just pause and start again. We'll edit out every “um.”
B-roll: we film your team at work, your machines or your customers, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Tip: turn off loud machines and music near the interview spot, or do interviews in our quiet studio.
5 to 10 business days
3. After we wrap
Review from your desk. You get a private Vimeo link to the first cut and can leave time-stamped notes right on the video.
Two rounds of changes, then your final files, ready to post.
Most projects take about 4 to 6 weeks, from our first conversation to the final video. Small, focused projects with quick approvals often take 2 to 4 weeks.
How much does a video cost?+
Interviews and testimonials start at $850, event filming at $1,250, commercials and ads at $1,500, brand films at $2,500, and monthly content at $1,200 a month. After our first conversation, we send a clear quote, so you know the price before we start.
Who owns the video, and what about raw footage?+
Once your project is paid in full, you own full commercial rights to your finished videos, forever. Post them on your website, run them as paid online ads or play them at events, with no ongoing fees. Music is licensed for web, social and online ads. For TV, radio or streaming TV, we add a broadcast music license to your quote. Raw camera footage stays with us, and we keep it on file for 12 months. You can buy the full raw footage for 20% of the project total, or we can put together a clean, color-corrected b-roll library for your team ($350 to $500). Unless you ask in writing for a confidential shoot, we may share the finished video and behind-the-scenes clips in our portfolio.
How do payments work?+
Projects under $1,000 are paid in full at booking. For larger projects, a 50% deposit locks in your filming date and starts planning. When you approve the final cut, we send the final invoice for the other 50%, due within 7 days, and send your download link once it's paid. Projects over $5,000 can be split 50% at booking, 25% after filming and 25% at delivery. Monthly content is billed at the start of each month.
Do we need a script?+
No. We help shape the message and send simple talking points, then guide you through a natural conversation.
Do you come to us?+
Yes. We film within about 40 miles of Columbiana, and we can also film in our studio. Travel past 40 miles is $1 a mile.
When will I see a first cut?+
Usually 5 to 10 business days after filming.
How many rounds of changes are included?+
Two rounds of changes are included. Changes after that are $80 an hour.
Can you go faster?+

Yes, once it's paid in full. Paid online ads are covered. For TV, radio or streaming TV, the music needs a broadcast license, which we add to your quote.
