Video Production
How much does video production cost?
Video production costs vary based on project scope, length, and complexity. Launch and investor films typically run $15,000-45,000, brand films start around $8,000, and commercial productions typically range from $5,000-25,000+. Simple social media videos start around $1,500-3,000. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific needs during a free consultation.
What's the typical timeline for a video project?
Most films take 1-2 weeks from the first call to the finished film. Larger productions, such as multi-location brand films or campaigns with actors, take 3-6 weeks. This includes pre-production planning (2-3 days), filming (1-2 days), and post-production editing (5-7 days). Rush projects are available for an additional fee.
Do you provide scriptwriting and creative direction?
Yes! We offer full-service video production including concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, and creative direction. Our team works closely with you to understand your brand voice and goals, then crafts a compelling narrative that resonates with your target audience.
What equipment do you use for filming?
We use professional cinema-grade equipment including RED and Blackmagic cameras, professional lighting kits, wireless audio systems, and stabilization gear like gimbals and sliders. Our equipment selection is tailored to each project's needs to ensure the highest quality output.
How many revisions are included?
Our standard packages include 2-3 rounds of revisions. We provide a rough cut for initial feedback, then refine based on your input. Additional revision rounds can be added if needed. We find that clear communication during pre-production minimizes the need for extensive revisions.
Can you film on location anywhere in California?
Yes, we serve all of California including Fresno, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and many other cities. We handle all travel logistics and can film at your location, our studio, or scout and secure external locations that fit your vision.

How much does a website cost?
Website costs depend on complexity and features. A professional business website typically ranges from $3,000-10,000, e-commerce sites from $8,000-25,000+, and custom web applications from $15,000+. We offer transparent pricing and provide detailed proposals after understanding your requirements.
How long does it take to build a website?
A standard business website takes 4-8 weeks, while e-commerce sites and custom applications may take 8-16 weeks. This includes discovery and planning (1-2 weeks), design (2-3 weeks), development (2-6 weeks), and testing/launch (1-2 weeks). We provide detailed timelines in our proposals.
What technologies do you use?
