We don't just show up and shoot.
Most businesses come to us with a vague idea. "We need a video for our website." "Our sales team keeps asking for something to send prospects." That is a fine place to start.
By the time we are done with the strategy conversation, you will have a clear picture of exactly what type of video will solve your problem, how long it should be, where it should live, and what results you can reasonably expect from it. Not sure where you stand? Take the Trust Audit: five questions, two minutes.

Questions we get asked.
How do we know which video we need?
That is the strategy conversation. We start with what the video needs to do for the business, and the answer decides what we make, how long it is and where it lives.
What does one shoot day produce?
A main film plus twelve to fifteen shorter cuts for LinkedIn, Instagram, email and sales. When fresh photos would help too, like a website that still shows people who left years ago, we shoot stills that same day.
How long does a project take?
Four to six weeks from first call to finished video for most projects. Event highlight reels come within a week of the event.
What does it cost?
It depends on what the video has to do, how many locations it covers, and how much you plan to reuse it, so we do not publish a rate. On a short first call we will tell you what it takes.
Plain answers, before you call.
