Quick answer
How does a video agency produce inside a semiconductor fab or cleanroom?
Semiconductor video production requires gowning protocols, particle-aware crew, low-vibration camera support, NDA-first workflow, and IP-protected raw storage. WERZ produces fab-floor capture, cleanroom interviews, packaging walkthroughs, foundry-partner stories, and chip-design founder profiles — same hardware-literate approach used for Cosmic Robotics, tightened for semiconductor environment constraints.

Semiconductor video has a particular technical envelope. The product lives inside fabs, packaging facilities, and design labs — environments that do not tolerate the particle load, vibration, or lighting of a commercial film shoot. Most generic brand-film agencies cannot operate inside that envelope at all; the ones that try produce footage that the company cannot publish.
WERZ runs semiconductor production with gowning protocols, particle-aware crew selection, low-vibration camera support, NDA-first workflow, and IP-protected raw storage. We have produced hardware-literate work for Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction at field and factory scale — the same crew model, tightened for fab and cleanroom constraints, applies to robotics-adjacent semiconductor work, packaging, foundry partnerships, and chip-design founder narrative.
Deliverables ladder from a single founder profile through full launch campaigns: investor-deck brand films, capability films, customer/foundry stories, recruiting cuts, and trade-show loops for SEMICON West, Hot Chips, ISSCC, IEDM, and SPIE Photonics. Same multi-day shoot model used across our deep tech work, scoped to the fab environment.
Capabilities
Semiconductor video, across formats.
ii.
Investor-deck brand films
Cinematic 60-90 second founder + product films built for Series A/B/C/D semiconductor decks. The asset that anchors the pitch and survives partner-meeting scrutiny.
iii.
Foundry + partner stories
Foundry-partner narratives, packaging-partner stories, and customer-deployment films. The trust assets that move multi-million-dollar wafer commitments.
iv.
Recruiting + team films
Founder, principal engineer, and senior-architect films that convert PhD-level chip-design talent. Mission and day-to-day content that outperforms job-post outreach.
v.
Press + announcement video
Funding, capability, and tape-out announcements sized for press kits and industry distribution. Short-form video for trade press, IR pages, and PR newsroom assets.
vi.
Trade show + conference
Booth loops, hero reels, and on-stand video for SEMICON West, Hot Chips, ISSCC, IEDM, SPIE Photonics, and category-specific semiconductor industry events.

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.”
James Emerick
Founder & CEO, Cosmic Robotics
Process
Built for fab + cleanroom.
i.
Technical + environment discovery
Before booking, we lock the technical envelope (what the chip / process / system actually does) AND the environment envelope (gowning level, particle posture, vibration tolerance, escort requirements). The shoot is scoped against both, not either.
ii.
NDA + IP gate
Production-company and crew-level NDAs are standard. IP-protected raw storage. Pre-cleared edit workflows. Foundry, design, and packaging IP is treated as the constraint, not the exception.
iii.
Gowned production
Multi-day shoots across fabs, cleanrooms, packaging facilities, design floors, and founder interviews. Particle-aware crew, low-vibration camera support, and escort-coordinated capture.
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 package and all pre-cleared.
Use cases
Where semiconductor video earns its budget.
Series A/B/C/D semiconductor fundraising
Cinematic founder + product films built for the investor deck. The asset that replaces the 'demo here' slide and convinces partners who have already seen a hundred chip decks.
Foundry + packaging partner sales
Trust-building films for multi-million-dollar wafer commitments, packaging deals, and integration partnerships. Long enterprise sales cycles that turn on credibility.
Recruiting senior chip talent
Films that explain the work and the mission to PhD-level architecture, design, and physical implementation candidates — consistently outperforms job-post content.
Tape-out + product launch
Tape-out announcement video, product launch films, and capability reveals. Short-form video sized for press kits and industry distribution.
SEMICON, ISSCC, Hot Chips booth + on-stand
Booth loops, hero reels, on-stand video, and presentation-supporting films for semiconductor industry events.
Customer reference video
Customer-reference content from semiconductor customers (system integrators, end-product OEMs) inside the pre-cleared disclosure envelope.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can you shoot inside a semiconductor fab or cleanroom?
Yes. Cleanroom and fab shoots require gowning, particle-aware crew posture, low-vibration camera support, escort coordination, and pre-cleared raw-footage workflows. We lock all of those constraints before booking, not after. We have produced under the equivalent constraints for robotics, solar, and lab work; cleanroom is the natural extension.
What does semiconductor video production cost?
Semiconductor brand films typically run $30,000-$80,000 for a single shoot package (hero film + capability cuts + investor-deck loop). Multi-site campaigns with fab, packaging, foundry-partner, and customer stories scale to $80,000-$200,000+. Pricing reflects environment overhead (gowning, escort, vibration), NDA workflow, and pre-cleared edit cycles.
How do you handle foundry, design, and packaging IP?
Production-company NDAs and crew-level NDAs are standard. Raw footage lives in IP-protected storage with limited-access pipelines. Edits are pre-cleared with the client before delivery — not after. We treat foundry and packaging IP as the constraint, not the exception, from the discovery call forward.
What semiconductor sub-verticals do you cover?
Chip design (analog, digital, mixed-signal), advanced packaging, photonics, MEMS, power semiconductors, RF, sensors, and semiconductor capital equipment. We do not specialize in semiconductor EDA software pure-play (those are SaaS shoots) — for those, see our SaaS industry page.
Are you based in Silicon Valley?
WERZ is California-based with statewide production reach. Our crew base covers the SF Bay semiconductor corridor (San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Fremont), and we travel for fab and packaging shoots elsewhere in California and across the West Coast.
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.
