Video production · Charlotte, NC

We make the video. Then we make it work.

We sit down with you, find the story worth telling, and film it right. Then we cut it into ads and put it in front of the people who should hire you. One shoot. A whole year of marketing.

How we work

Video with a job to do.

Plenty of companies can point a camera. We start earlier — with what the video is for, who it's aimed at, and how it'll be seen. Then we shoot it, and we can run the campaign behind it.

01

Strategy

We sit down with you and find where your story meets your goal. Every choice on set comes out of this.

02

Production

One high-end shoot, done right. Real people, in the places they actually work.

03

Many versions

We cut that one shoot into a hero video, reels and ads, in every size you need.

04

Distribution

We run the ads on Facebook and Instagram, put them in front of the people who should hire you, and report honestly on what happens.

No commitment needed

Just need one video?
That works too.

Not every project needs a full strategy engagement. Plenty of our work is a single video — one brand film, one testimonial, one commercial — and we treat a one-off with the same crew and the same standard as anything else. The strategy conversation is on offer, never a requirement.

  • One-off projects
  • No retainer
  • Same crew, same standard

Services

Full service.
Start to finish.

Everything starts with video. The last two exist to make that video work harder.

01

Brand stories

A story-driven film about your mission, your values, and the people behind the company. The piece you put at the top of your homepage.

06

Training & how-to videos

Complex information broken into content people will actually finish. Built for onboarding and internal growth.

07

Ads management

Great video is only half of it. We build, run, and optimize your Facebook and Instagram campaigns — creative, targeting, testing, and honest reporting.

08

Website & branding

Identity, design, and a site built to convert. The same story-first thinking applied to your logo, your look, and the page people land on.

Nationwide

Based in Charlotte.
And yes — we travel.

Most of our work starts close to home, but plenty of it doesn't. We shoot up and down the East Coast and out to the West, and we handle what comes with it — crew, gear, travel, and permits. You pick the location. We show up ready to roll.

Licensed aerial

Certified to fly.
Not just able to.

Aerial footage is only worth having if it was shot legally. We hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate — the credential required for any commercial drone flight in the US.

Questions

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Don't see yours? Email us and we'll answer it.

How much does a video cost?

It depends on how many shoot days it takes, how many videos you need and where they'll be used. A few short social videos cost far less than a multi-day brand film. We'll give you a real number on the first call, not a range that means nothing. For a detailed breakdown, read what video production actually costs in 2026.

How long does it take?

Short social videos are usually ready about a week after the shoot. A brand film or testimonial usually takes 3 to 6 weeks after filming, plus time for your feedback. You'll get the timeline in writing before we start.

Do you travel outside Charlotte?

Yes. We shoot across the Carolinas and travel nationwide. Travel to the locations we agree on up front is included in the price. It's only extra if a new location gets added later.

Do I need a script?

Not for real people. For interviews and testimonials, we send questions ahead of time and let people talk, because it sounds more believable. For ads and promos, we write the script with you.

Can you make just one video?

Yes. Plenty of our work is a single brand film, testimonial or commercial. Same crew, same standard, no long-term commitment.

What happens after I book a call?

We talk about what you're trying to accomplish and who needs to see it. Then we send a proposal with the plan, the timeline and the price. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
