Quick answer
How does energy tech video production differ from climate tech video?
Energy tech is the industrial-energy sister to climate tech: grid hardware, fusion, nuclear, energy storage, EV charging, geothermal, and large-scale solar. The video work is the same field-grade, hardware-literate, NDA-first production — captured at substations, factories, test stands, and deployment sites. WERZ produces both; energy tech is the operating-infrastructure-led version of the climate tech approach.

Energy tech is hardware that lives at the grid scale. Substations, fusion test devices, nuclear modular reactors, storage installs, EV-charging build-outs, geothermal well pads, and utility-scale solar. The buyers are utilities, IPPs, large industrials, DoE programs, and Series B/C investors who have already seen a hundred ‘innovation’ decks. Generic brand-film agencies cannot capture this kind of physical infrastructure credibly.
WERZ runs hardware-literate energy production with field crews, FAA Part 107 site-scale aerial, NDA-first workflow, IP-protected raw, and pre-cleared edit gates. The approach was built around Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction across California — multi-year capture of factory, deployment, founder narrative, and aerial documentation — and the same playbook applies across the energy stack.
Where this overlaps with our climate tech work: same crew, same posture, same NDA workflow. The split is audience — climate tech leads with the sustainability story, energy tech leads with the engineering and operating story. Many companies need both. We produce the deliverable mix that fits both.

Process
Built for energy operators.
i.
Technical + operating discovery
Before booking, we lock the technical envelope (what the hardware actually does), the operating envelope (substation/site/factory access, safety, escort), and the audience (utility, IPP, DoE program, investor). The shoot is scoped against all three.
ii.
NDA + IP gate
Production-company and crew-level NDAs are standard. IP-protected raw storage. Pre-cleared edit workflows. Grid-customer disclosure handled like defense-adjacent work.
iii.
Field + factory production
Multi-day shoots across substations, solar fields, factory floors, R&D labs, and founder interviews. Ground + Part 107 aerial paired where the operating envelope permits.
iv.
Investor-deck-ready 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

FAQ
Common questions.
How is energy tech different from climate tech?
Energy tech is the industrial-energy version of the same work. Climate tech leads with the sustainability story (carbon impact, regenerative agriculture, climate-aligned product positioning); energy tech leads with the engineering and operating story (grid, fusion, nuclear, storage, EV, geothermal). Same field-grade, hardware-literate, NDA-first production approach; different audience framing in the final film.
Can you shoot at substations, grid sites, and energy facilities?
Yes. Substation, grid-edge, and energy-facility shoots require NDA-first crewing, coordination with utility/site security, and pre-cleared raw-footage workflows. We confirm the security and access envelope before booking, not after. We have produced under the equivalent constraints for solar construction at field scale; substation and grid work is the natural extension.
What does energy tech video production cost?
Energy tech brand films typically run $25,000-$80,000 for a single shoot package (hero film + capability cuts + investor-deck loop). Multi-site campaigns with factory, field, utility customer, and Part 107 aerial coverage scale to $80,000-$200,000+. Pricing reflects site complexity, NDA overhead, and multi-day field shooting.
What energy tech sub-verticals do you cover?
Grid hardware (power electronics, transformers, controls, distribution), fusion, advanced nuclear (SMR, microreactors), energy storage (lithium, flow, long-duration), EV charging hardware and infrastructure, geothermal, large-scale solar, and grid-edge software-hardware integrations. Climate-led versions of these run under our climate tech approach.
Do you work with utilities and IPPs directly?
Yes. Utility-customer and IPP-deployment films are core energy tech work — trust-building content for multi-year commitments and reference sales. We work either with the energy hardware company commissioning the film (most common) or directly with the utility on internal/external communications.
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.
