Sebastian went through Y Combinator and put his own product on Whole Foods shelves, so he knows what a launch has to do for the company behind it. He directs WERZ productions himself.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a launch video, and what does it cost?

A launch video is the film a company publishes on announcement day — for a product, a funding round, or a market entry — and it has to serve press, investors, customers, and recruiters at once. It is usually 45–90 seconds, delivered with social cutdowns and a press kit. WERZ produces launch films in the $5,000-25,000+ range, in 1-6 weeks from kickoff to delivery, scheduled backward from your date.

What kinds of launches do you produce?

Four, mostly: a product launch (first hardware or first GA release, where the film has to prove the thing exists and works), a funding announcement that runs alongside the round, a market or category entry that repositions an existing company, and Demo Day or accelerator launches scoped to the batch calendar.

How far in advance should we book a launch video?

Production runs 1-6 weeks depending on scope: a cut built from footage you already have sits at the short end, a multi-day shoot with a full press kit at the long end. Six to eight weeks before the announcement is comfortable. If you already have a date, tell us the date first — everything else gets scheduled backward from it.

Can you work under an embargo or NDA?

Yes. We sign NDAs before scoping, keep unreleased footage off public review links, and hold delivery until your announcement window. For hardware launches we also handle on-site restrictions — what can be shown, what stays out of frame, and which shots need approval before they leave the edit.

What do you deliver besides the main film?

A standard launch package is the hero cut, a 9:16 vertical, a silent-autoplay social version, a clean no-text master for press, selected stills from the shoot, and b-roll. Deck frames and a careers-page cut are common additions. The list is agreed before the shoot, not after.

Can you make a launch video from footage we already have?

Yes, if the existing footage proves the product clearly and meets the quality needed for the launch. WERZ can combine existing product footage, interviews, or screen captures with new motion design and editing, or identify a focused pickup shoot for the missing proof. The same source material can also produce vertical, silent-autoplay, press, deck, and website versions.

Do you produce launch videos for hardware and robotics companies?

That is most of this work. Hardware launches need crews who can shoot a machine doing a real job on a real site — jobsite safety, weather, aerial permissions, and the patience to wait for the shot that proves the thing works. We hold FAA Part 107 for site-scale aerial and have produced repeatedly in solar, robotics, and climate tech.

What happens if our launch date moves?

Dates slip; it is normal. Because the schedule is built backward from the announcement with named review rounds, a moved date usually shifts delivery rather than breaking the plan. We would rather re-plan once with you than discover the change in the final week.
