Films from the field.

Farm, vineyard, winery, and ag-energy video from a studio headquartered in the Central Valley — shot around harvests, water, and weather windows, not agency calendars.

Agriculture doesn't shoot like other industries. The subject is seasonal, the light is brutal at midday, the work happens at 5 a.m., and the location is a working operation that will not stop for a camera crew. WERZ is based in Fresno — the middle of the most productive farmland in the country — and builds brand films around harvest calendars, irrigation schedules, and weather windows.

The public work spans the category: vineyard agrivoltaics for Sunzaun (including the Somerset Farm deployment and the Agrivoltaics Conference), five winery and vineyard films across Moravia, Ramos Torres, Engelmann Cellars, and Maréchal Vineyards, and Fresno County's wine-journey tourism campaign. On the sourcing side, WERZ shot its own 1971 Hook brand on Hudson Valley pepper farms — farm-to-shelf content from first-hand experience.

For ag robotics and automation — harvest robots, autonomous tractors, ag drones — the same field discipline applies with an engineering layer on top; see the robotics page and the Cosmic Robotics work for how WERZ documents machines operating on real land.

Capabilities

Agriculture video, across the season.

Farm & vineyard brand films
i.

Farm & vineyard brand films

Grower stories, vineyard films, and operation profiles shot across a season — bud break to harvest — so the film shows the work, not a single staged afternoon.

Winery, harvest & production lines
ii.

Winery, harvest & production lines

Crush, bottling, barrel rooms, and tasting rooms. Documented for Moravia, Ramos Torres, Engelmann Cellars, and Maréchal Vineyards — from cellar floor to table.

Agrivoltaics & ag-energy
iii.

Agrivoltaics & ag-energy

Solar on working farmland — vertical agrivoltaics, tracker rows, and dual-use deployments. Built for Sunzaun; the same crew documents utility-scale solar across the Valley.

Farm-to-shelf CPG content

Sourcing stories, farm photography, and product content connecting the field to the package — first-hand experience from building WERZ's own 1971 Hook brand on Hudson Valley farms.

Client voice

What ag 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.

Use cases

Where ag video earns its budget.

Direct-to-consumer & wine club growth

Vineyard films, tasting-room content, and seasonal social clips that sell club memberships and tasting visits better than stock imagery ever will.

AgTech sales & fundraising

Field proof for agtech and ag-robotics companies — the machine working real rows, real soil, real weather. The evidence buyers and investors need.

Agritourism & county campaigns

Destination films like the Fresno County wine journey — regional campaigns that bring visitors into tasting rooms and farm stands.

Recruiting & workforce

Operations films that show what modern ag work actually looks like — for growers, packers, and processors competing for the same labor pool.

Buyer & retail sell-in

Sourcing and food-safety storytelling for grocery, food-service, and export conversations — the farm-to-shelf narrative, documented.

Ag-energy & land-use stories

Agrivoltaics, water, and conservation projects explained on the land where they run — for the companies building them and the landowners hosting them.

Quick answer

Why hire a Central Valley studio for agriculture video?

Farm and vineyard shoots run on harvest schedules, water, weather, and daylight — not on an agency calendar. WERZ is headquartered in Fresno, in California's ag heartland, with published work spanning vineyard agrivoltaics (Sunzaun), five winery films, Fresno County's wine-tourism campaign, and farm-sourced CPG content for its own 1971 Hook brand.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you plan shoots around harvest and growing seasons?

Yes — that is the core of the discipline. Bud break, veraison, harvest, crush, and bottling each happen once a year, so WERZ scopes ag projects against the operation's calendar first and builds the shot list around what each window makes possible.

Can you fly drones over farms and vineyards?

Yes. WERZ holds an FAA Part 107 commercial certificate and flies field, row, and site aerials where airspace and property permissions allow. Aerial is scoped alongside ground coverage, not sold as a separate product.

What agriculture work has WERZ actually published?

Sunzaun's vertical-agrivoltaics brand film and Somerset Farm deployment, the Agrivoltaics Conference, five winery and vineyard films (Moravia, Ramos Torres, Engelmann Cellars, Maréchal Vineyards, and Fresno County's wine-journey campaign), and the farm-sourced content behind WERZ's own 1971 Hook brand.

Do you work with agtech and ag-robotics companies?

Yes. Field-proof documentation for machines on real land is the same discipline WERZ built for Cosmic Robotics' solar-construction robots. Access, safety, and claim-approval requirements are defined by the client before booking.

What does agriculture video production cost?

WERZ prices ag work after confirming sites, seasonal windows, shoot days, crew, aerial needs, and deliverables. A single-visit vineyard film and a season-long documentation program are different scopes; this page does not present an unsupported market average.

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.
