Stories are powerful and there are many ways to make them work for your business. Story-based films are a great way to build a brand (the long-term strategy) and also get new business (the short-term strategy) with targeted content that aligns with immediate business objectives.

For example, if we were promoting an antifoul service, we would create content featuring customers who had a great experience in the past, spoke of the benefits of how you made it easy for them, what they loved about the experience, the value they received, and what doing business with you enabled them to do, how you made their lives better. Then we’d get the b-roll that tied it all together and create multiple versions with a different call to action that got people to book with you through your targeted landing page.

There are lots of factors that go into creating a film, like strategy sessions, pre-production, shoot days, locations, specialised equipment, crew required, and post-production for the ideal deliverables. So, while there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, you can rest easy knowing you’ll understand all of the costs and inclusions up front without any surprises.

After we get to know more about what you’re trying to achieve, we’ll put together an accurate scope of work with a quote to achieve your goals.

If you were really sick, would you diagnose yourself and prescribe your own medication? Personally, I’d go to a doctor, explain my symptoms, and listen to what the expert had to say.

If I wanted the right answer quickly, I’d go straight to a highly recommended specialist.

Any marketing without a strategy (that includes just copying what your competitors are doing) is almost always a waste of everyone’s time and money.

If you’re investing in a film for your brand, strategy always comes first.

It depends on the project. As far as shoot days, smaller films could take a day, and more complex films could take many days or weeks to get what we need. Post-production time is usually a multiple of the shoot days, and it depends on the complexity of the final film(s).

Defining important dates is all part of our strategy and pre-production process.
