Quick answer
What does aerospace video production look like for a hardware-first space company?
Aerospace and space tech video production captures test stands, integration sites, factory floors, and founder narrative — all under NDA, ITAR-aware crewing, and pre-cleared edit workflows. WERZ produces launch-vehicle, satellite, propulsion, and eVTOL brand video with FAA Part 107 aerial for non-launch facility work. Hardware-literate crew built around Cosmic Robotics; same approach extends across aerospace.

Aerospace video has a particular gravity. The product is physical, expensive, and slow to iterate. Test campaigns happen on a schedule; integration windows are short; launch operations are airspace-constrained. Generic brand-film agencies cannot operate inside that envelope without dropping deliverables.
WERZ runs hardware-literate aerospace production with NDA-first workflow, ITAR-aware crew selection for defense-adjacent space work, and FAA Part 107 aerial for non-launch facility shoots — integration buildings, propulsion test stands, vehicle factories, and aircraft hangars. We coordinate around test campaigns and integration windows rather than fighting them, and we pre-clear edits before delivery.
Deliverables ladder from a single founder profile through full launch campaigns: investor-deck brand films, test-stand documentation, integration-site shoots, customer/partner stories, recruiting films for senior aerospace engineers, and trade-show loops for AIAA, SmallSat, Space Symposium, and Vertical Flight Society events. Same multi-day shoot model used across our deep tech work, scoped to the aerospace operating envelope.
Capabilities
Aerospace video, across formats.
ii.
Integration + factory shoots
Integration building shoots, satellite assembly, vehicle production, and engine build floors. Hardware-literate crew with appropriate cleanliness posture and IP-protected raw workflows.
iii.
Investor-deck brand films
Cinematic 60-90 second founder + product films for Series A/B/C aerospace decks. Built around what is shippable today, scoped to the public disclosure envelope.
iv.
FAA Part 107 aerial (off-launch facility)
Site-scale aerial for aerospace factories, integration buildings, eVTOL test sites, and hangars. We coordinate Part 107 with site security and local TFRs — launch-pad aerial is FAA-restricted, captured by the operator.
v.
Recruiting senior aerospace engineers
Founder, chief engineer, and senior-architect films built to convert senior aerospace candidates. Mission, day-to-day, and engineering specificity that job posts cannot deliver.
vi.
Customer + partner stories
Satellite operator narratives, launch-services customer stories, eVTOL fleet-operator stories, and DoD-adjacent partner films. All inside the disclosure envelope, all pre-cleared.
Hardware reference work
Closest reference: field-scale hardware build.
Client voice
What hardware teams say.
“From pre-production logistics to on-site shoots, editing, and delivery — he's consistently organized, prepared, and ready to execute. Reliable, talented, and low-drama. A combination that's hard to find and extremely valuable.”

Process
Built around the test schedule.
i.
Test + integration schedule first
Aerospace operations do not move for the production. We scope the shoot around the actual test campaign, integration window, or vehicle build calendar — not the other way around.
ii.
NDA + ITAR posture
Production-company NDAs and crew-level NDAs standard. ITAR-aware crew selection for defense-adjacent aerospace. IP-protected raw storage and pre-cleared edit workflows.
iii.
Multi-day field production
Multi-day shoots across test stands, integration buildings, factories, hangars, and founder interviews. Ground + Part 107 aerial paired where the facility envelope permits.
iv.
Pre-cleared delivery
Hero film, capability reel, social cutdowns, deck-embed loops, customer-story versions, and recruiting cuts — all from the same shoot, all pre-cleared.
Use cases
Where aerospace video earns its budget.
Series A/B/C aerospace fundraising
Cinematic founder + product brand films built for the investor deck. The asset that anchors the pitch and survives a partner meeting full of aerospace skeptics.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can you shoot at aerospace test stands and integration sites?
Yes. Test-stand and integration shoots require NDA-first crewing, ITAR-aware crew selection for defense-adjacent work, coordination around the actual test or integration schedule, and pre-cleared raw-footage workflows. We confirm the security envelope and the operating schedule before booking, not after.
Do you fly drones at launch facilities?
Not at active launch pads — those are FAA-restricted and captured by the launch provider or licensed operator. We are FAA Part 107 certified for non-launch-facility aerospace aerial: factories, integration buildings, propulsion test sites, eVTOL test ranges, hangars, and the off-pad portion of launch campaigns. We coordinate Part 107 with site security and local TFRs.
What does aerospace video production cost?
Aerospace brand films typically run $30,000-$100,000 for a single shoot package (hero film + capability cuts + investor-deck loop). Multi-site campaigns with test-stand documentation, integration shoots, founder + customer stories, and Part 107 aerial scale to $100,000-$250,000. Pricing reflects operating envelope, NDA workflow, and multi-day field shooting.
What aerospace sub-verticals do you cover?
Launch vehicles, satellites (smallsat, EO, comms), propulsion, eVTOL and advanced air mobility, orbital infrastructure, space-domain awareness, and aerospace components and structures. Defense-adjacent aerospace runs under ITAR-aware crew posture.
Are you based in the Los Angeles aerospace corridor?
WERZ is California-based with statewide production reach. The LA / Long Beach / Mojave aerospace corridor is the natural geography for this work, alongside Bay Area satellite and propulsion companies and San Diego defense-adjacent aerospace.
How does WERZ price video, web, or marketing work?
Pricing is scope-based, not template-based. We define deliverables, audience, locations, crew, and revisions before quoting — so the budget reflects actual production needs rather than a pre-set tier.
Can WERZ work from a fixed budget?
Yes. A fixed budget works best when deliverables, locations, revision rounds, and timeline are clear before production starts. We will tell you what is achievable inside the budget rather than promise more than the scope supports.
Are there ongoing retainers, or only project work?
Both. Most marketing and web programs run as monthly retainers (strategy, content, optimization). Video and brand projects are typically scoped per engagement, with optional content retainers for ongoing assets.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Discovery and strategy run 1–2 weeks; production and build run 3–8 weeks depending on scope; launch and iteration kicks off after delivery. Marketing programs are ongoing with measurable milestones at month one, month three, and month six.
Can you accommodate a tight deadline?
Yes, when the scope and approval lanes are tight. Rush projects work best when the team can lock decisions quickly and accept fewer revision rounds. We will tell you upfront if a deadline is unrealistic for the scope.
