FAQ

How does WERZ compare to Lemonlight for video production?

WERZ is a California-based boutique studio offering custom video production alongside web development and branding. Lemonlight is a Chicago-based national company focused on high-volume, templated video content. WERZ is a better fit for brands that want original, on-location creative work with a single end-to-end partner.

Is WERZ or Lemonlight better for a California business?

For California-based businesses, WERZ offers on-location shoots without the complexity of coordinating a remote crew. We're based in the Central Valley and regularly shoot across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and the Bay Area.

What makes WERZ different from large video production agencies?

WERZ is intentionally small — senior creatives on every project, no handoffs to junior staff, and no templated production lines. We also extend beyond video into web and brand, so clients get one partner instead of three vendors.
