What is the typical timeline for a video project?
4
A standard professional video project typically takes 2 to 3 months from the initial strategy session to the final delivery. However, we can accommodate urgent "ASAP" timelines (less than 1 month) or support long-term planning phases for large-scale campaigns.
Can you help with the strategy and distribution of the video?
5
Yes. With over 15.5 million views across our clients’ projects, we don't just "hit record." We specialize in high-impact video marketing and organic digital reach, helping you ensure your story reaches the right audience on social media, websites, and email campaigns.
Do you provide photography as well as video?
6
Absolutely. We offer integrated video and photo packages. Our lead photographer, Julia Mullins, specializes in documentary photography and "authentic moments," ensuring your organization has a cohesive visual library for both print and digital use.
We have our own footage. Can you edit it for us?
7
Yes! We offer professional post-production services for organizations that have existing high-quality footage but need a professional editor and motion graphics artist to translate that content into a high-impact story. These services are available on a project-by-project basis as well as through a retained relationship.
Why is "story-centric" video better for nonprofits?
8
Traditional marketing often focuses on facts and figures to the detriment of creating a genuine audience buy-in. Story-centric filmmaking focuses on the human element and the "why" behind your mission. By creating an immersive story, we create an emotional connection that is more effective at driving donor action and community support.
How much does a professional video project cost?
9
Project costs vary based on the scope, location, and post-production needs. Most of our full-service projects range from $7,000 to $45,000. We offer custom quotes to ensure our production plan aligns perfectly with your organization's goals and budget. For regular collaborators we offer discounts of up to 20% via retainers that range in length from 6 months to a year.
