PROCESS
The way you tell your story online makes all the difference.
Quality requires time and cost. We start with your audience and work backwards to ensure your story is emotionally relevant.
We start by understanding your audience deeply. This grounds our work. Thoughtful video content forges authentic connections.
Let's collaborate on creating quality films that truly speak to your viewers and advance your goals.
When producing a video, there are 2 approaches:
🏆 Results-Focused
This prioritizes the idea first, cost second. We collaborate to develop the best creative concept possible for a nominal fee. Then we determine the budget needed to produce that top-notch idea.
💰 Budget-Focused
Here, we must work within a fixed budget you provide upfront. So we focus on identifying the strongest idea achievable within those constraints.
It's important to know which path you prefer before we begin. Our goal is always to create the best quality video for you, on time and on budget.
Our Recommendation
We highly recommend investing significant time upfront in branding, ideation, scripting, and storyboarding. This approach has three key benefits:
Ensures a superior final product
Enables smooth, efficient production
Focuses on substance over style
By dedicating effort to nail down the core idea and creative direction early on, we can deliver a video that truly resonates with your audience and achieves your goals. Let's connect to discuss the ideal approach for your project and brand.

How much does it cost?
Over the course of twenty years, and hundreds of videos for dozens of clients, I’ve built a trusted track record of delivering amazing work. So, millions of dollars. Nah, just kidding, but it costs real money. Typically, 8K USD is a good starting point, though we also work with a lot more. Upwards of 50K to 200K. If you’re a startup with an idea we would love to support, we can talk about equity and other arrangements.
Do you work with outside agencies?
Certainly! We’ve had great experiences working with other agencies. However, we also bring our own creativity to the table, while also enjoying working with other creatives at the top of their game.
Do you do animated spots?
Absolutely. We mostly work in live-action or live-action + animation, but if the story we want to tell is best told with animation and it’s something you’re looking for, and if there’s an opportunity to try something new that translates into an amazing showcase for your brand, we will jump at the chance.
