Video Services

These services include aerial drone coverage and ground-based video.

As an industrial photographer and event photographer, I’m sometimes asked to provide professional videographer services alongside my still photography services.

Our video coverage includes capturing activities like industrial environments, trade shows, conferences, parties, customer testimonials, product demonstrations, and executive interviews. The videos we produce will improve your customer engagement, interest, and excitement.

Recently worked with Rob on a client project here in Texas and he is the consummate professional. Easy to work with and made communications easy. — George Nguyen

I label this work videography, but you might prefer terms like cinematography, filmmaking, or moviemaking. Ignoring these sometimes pretentious labels, we deliver exciting and dynamic moving images alongside our still photography offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are answers to questions frequently asked by individuals, business customers, industrial manufacturers, website developers, social media managers, and advertising agencies.

Video is a good idea if you’re looking for ways to grab attention and tell your brand story. Besides photography, it’s another way to showcase your products, services, locations, and staff.

It’s also smart to include video in your marketing plan if you use social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok that prioritize video content.

If you have a complicated product or service, videos help viewers understand its complexities more easily than photography or text alone.

However, you should know that good videos are as expensive as good photography. If you can’t set aside monies for a competitive budget, eschewing all video might be preferable so you can avoid low-quality video that might hurt more than help.

As Yoda said, “Do or do not. There is no try.”

They’re synonymous with the same meaning in the commercial videography space. Folks who use the word filmmaker might do so because they think the word elevates their brand.

In some cases, “Filmmaker” is the more appropriate title, especially when the creator produces narrative films and documentaries or manages scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, and post-production.

Your needs will vary widely depending on your final desired deliverables and your product, service, or event. We require a 4-hour minimum for videography, but you can hire us for extended overtime hours over multiple days.

We’re usually hired for either 4-hour or 8-hour video projects.

$1,000,000. Not really.

But it feels that way, right? With that in mind, we’ve developed a competitive and affordable pricing model that won’t break the bank.

We charge what we charge based on our skills, equipment, market forces, and which way the wind blows on a Tuesday afternoon.

If you pay less than you might with us, and you receive a less-than-good final product, will you be happy because you saved money?

Or if you hire a videographer or advertising agency and you spend five figures on your video, will you be sad when you discover that we can offer you the same product, service, and quality at a fraction of those costs?

We provide both in-studio and on-location commercial video services.

We work both collaboratively and separately depending on what we’re covering, the subject matter needs, and your project goals.

I’ll oversee your video coverage because my name is on the final product, and I only deliver excellence. Although I won’t stand over my videographer’s shoulder, I’ll periodically review footage in real-time and make sure your project goals are met.

Absolutely! When you choose your music, we’ll send you to SoundStripe and MotionArray so you can select licensed music. Licenses must be provided for the music we include in our deliverables.

We can include voiceovers for your video as an additional option. Provide us with your voiceover audio, or we’ll direct you to talented voiceover artists who can help.

Here’s one of our favorites along with typical pricing details for basic services:

Scott Allen

Scott Allen is a non-union, SAG-eligible voice actor and audiobook producer based in Los Angeles, California.

voiceover
website/social
up to 1 minute $200
up to 2 minutes $275
up to 3 minutes $350
non-broadcast, no paid placement

Includes

  • up to 2 editing rounds after the initial draft delivery
  • fully mastered final file (.mp3 format)
  • 1-day to 3-day delivery timeframe
  • unlimited mispronunciation edits (if any)

We use a single videographer with a single camera setup for most of our commercial, industrial, and event videos.

However, if your project demands multiple cameras or additional camera operators, we have the staff and equipment you’ll want to see when we capture your project visuals. Just let us know what you need!

B-roll footage refers to supplemental footage that supports the main footage (sometimes called A-roll).

For example, if we’re covering a trade show, A-roll footage might include interviews with booth visitors, while B-roll footage might show people walking through the convention center.

Our video teams have the top-tier professional lighting gear you expect on a high-end commercial or industrial product. However, most of our video projects use available light only, which provides a natural look that’s popular in today’s advertising.

At a high level, color grading is a process by which consistency is improved as color imbalances are addressed and color correction is performed.

On a more granular level, color grading can adjust brightness, contrast, hues, saturation, and shadows to create a unique tone or atmosphere.

Unless otherwise requested, all video production is delivered in h.264 MOV format at 4K resolution.

Anywhere.

Every video project where editing is selected includes up to two revisions after the first draft delivery.

Certainly. I’ll probably never tell you “no,” but I’ll sometimes tell you how much.

We’ll include your logo, graphics, and brand colors wherever possible. Sometimes, that might consist of intros, outros, and watermarks before, during, and after the video.

We’ll also include brand sounds when you have them and pick music complementary to your brand. We’ll also use your own locations like offices, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or industrial spaces.

This is one of those “it depends” answers. The ideal length will depend on the video’s purpose, audience, and the platform where it’s shared.

Most clients choose a 30-second or one-minute edited video, but we can provide you with any length you desire. I prefer 30-second videos given most viewer’s limited attention spans.

RAW video is typically delivered within 1-7 days, while edited videos are delivered within 7-28 days. Rush services are also available for an additional fee.

Our equipment is top-tier and we use the latest innovative video and audio capture technologies, including AI.

Our drone equipment can take 20MB still photographs and up to 5.1K video resolution when performing aerial coverage.

Ground footage is provided by equipment capable of 6K resolution.
