Before any production, we spend a session on what the technology actually does, what the product roadmap looks like, and what the buyer or investor needs to understand. Climate tech briefs that skip this produce generic 'innovation' content.
02
Access + review gate
The client identifies confidentiality, safety, access, storage, and approval requirements. WERZ confirms whether the requested workflow is supportable before booking, and does not represent Cosmic Robotics field work as lab, biotech, or regulated-site experience.
03
Field + lab production
Multi-day shoots across deployment sites, factory floors, R&D labs, and founder interviews. Ground + aerial paired, scoped to weather windows, install schedules, and lab access timing.
04
Investor-deck-ready delivery
Hero film, social cutdowns, deck-embed loops, customer-story versions, stills, and recruiting cuts — all from the same shoot package. Scoped before production so the day produces a year of usable assets.

How does a climate tech startup produce a brand film for fundraising?
Climate tech brand films work best when they show the real technology in its real environment. WERZ's public reference is Cosmic Robotics: the Cosmic-1 launch film (published by Y Combinator to 1.7M followers), plus field, founder, stills, and FAA Part 107 aerial coverage across three deployments in California and Southern Texas. Lab or regulated environments require a separate client-led feasibility review.
Overview
We've followed Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction across three deployments in California and Texas — the same approach for solar, storage, and energy infrastructure.
Climate tech and cleantech brand video is its own discipline. The buyers are technical, the products are physical, the deployments are remote, and the deck has to hold up to a Stanford-trained CTO and a Series B investor in the same meeting. Generic brand-video agencies make spec-style ads — climate tech needs brand films that show the real technology in the real environment.
WERZ has documented Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction across three deployments: prototype trials in Arvin, California (2024), a production site in Patterson, California (2025), and a multi-unit rollout in Southern Texas (2026) — plus the Cosmic-1 launch film that Y Combinator published to its 1.7M LinkedIn followers. That experience informs other solar, energy-storage, EV-infrastructure, and climate-hardware scopes, but it is not presented as proof of completed work in every sub-vertical.
Where climate tech video earns its budget.
Launch announcements
A 60-90 second film that carries the company's thesis and shows the hardware working. The Cosmic-1 launch film became the announcement Y Combinator published to 1.7M followers.
Series A/B/C fundraising decks
Founder + product brand films that anchor the investor pitch. Replaces the slide that says 'demo video here' with something that actually moves the meeting.
Customer + EPC partner stories
Deployment narratives built for utility customers, commercial-solar EPC partners, and sustainability buyers inside large organizations.
Recruiting for hard problems
Founder and team films can show the mission, technical work, and operating environment to PhDs, senior engineers, and operators evaluating the company.
Site documentation at scale
Solar fields, energy installs, factory deployments — the visual evidence climate tech buyers and investors need to believe the company can actually ship physical product.
Trade-show booth + conference
Loops, hero reels, and on-stand video for Intersolar, RE+, CES, Climate Week NYC, and category-specific climate tech conferences.
Ways to work together
A launch, or the work that comes after. Production across the US, with experience in Germany. We scope locations, crew, and post-production around the project.
Launch film + supporting assets
For a product debut, research demo, funding announcement, or first customer deployment. Start with the audience and one clear product story.
The scope
A main film with agreed cutdowns, captioned versions, press b-roll, stills, and presentation loops. Deliverables and revision rounds are written into the proposal.
The schedule
We work backward from your launch date through script approval, access, filming, editing, and final review. Location access and technical review set the critical dates.
The budget
Shoot days, locations, crew, talent, product capture, motion design, and version count determine the quote. Existing footage can reduce new capture.
For teams with footage to use and progress to share. Turn demonstrations, founder interviews, and field work into a consistent stream of finished content.
Start with your library
Send sample footage, transcripts if available, brand assets and examples of the edits you need. We check image and sound quality, product accuracy, usage permissions and gaps before recommending edits or a new shoot.
Agree on a cadence
Agree a monthly or campaign-based batch: number and length of edits, captions, aspect ratios, review rounds and delivery dates. A named reviewer consolidates feedback. Filming and substantial new animation are quoted separately.
Keep it current
A named client reviewer confirms technical claims before release. New deployments can add footage for future launch, sales, recruiting, and website uses.
We respond within one business day. No call required.
FAQ
Common questions.
How is climate tech video production different from SaaS or general tech video?
Many climate-tech products operate in physical environments such as solar fields, factories, rooftops, or labs. The production plan should reflect the real system, approved technical claims, site access, and safety constraints. Field documentation or installation footage can be more useful than generic office imagery when those environments are central to the story.
Can you handle NDAs, IP protection, and secured-site shoot requirements?
Potentially. The client must identify confidentiality, access, safety, storage, and review requirements. WERZ evaluates the exact workflow before accepting the scope. Our public reference covers robotics, solar construction, factory, and field work; it does not establish biotech, lab, or cleanroom experience.
What does climate tech video production cost?
WERZ prices climate-tech work after locations, site access, safety constraints, shoot days, crew, aerial needs, review requirements, and deliverables are known. A focused field film and a multi-site launch campaign are different scopes; this page does not present an unsupported market average.
Can you shoot at solar sites, factories, and labs outside California?
Yes. WERZ is based in California, is FAA Part 107 certified for commercial drone operations, and has documented Cosmic Robotics solar-construction work at field and factory locations in California and Southern Texas. Other factories or labs are evaluated individually against the site's access, safety, airspace, and review requirements.
Do you work with pre-Series A climate tech startups?
Yes, when scope and budget align. An early-stage team may need one founder profile or a focused product film rather than a full campaign. WERZ recommends the smallest scope that supports the team's stated launch, sales, recruiting, or fundraising use case.
More questions (1)
What climate tech sub-verticals do you cover?
Solar (PV, perovskite, robotic construction, residential, utility-scale), energy storage, EV charging and infrastructure, robotics for clean energy, sustainability infrastructure, climate-aware industrials, lab-based hardware, and climate-aligned biotech. We do not specialize in pure-software cleantech (those are SaaS shoots) — for those, see our SaaS industry page.
