It’s Showtime!

You’re a CMO, head of brand, or internal marketer for a B2B company. Your CEO has an announcement, there’s a product launch, or maybe a brand refresh. Whatever the case, it’s time for a video to capture the moment and tell the world: we are trusted, we are innovative.

Many clients reach this stage and ask, “What’s next?” No worries—here are the most common questions about planning and executing a B2B video production.

What Does the Process Look Like?

Video production happens in three stages:

Pre-Production: A great story starts with a solid plan—scripting, location scouting, talent selection, and logistics.

Production: Lights, camera, action! This is where we bring your vision to life, capturing the content that tells your story.

Post-Production: Our editors shape the final piece—cutting, mixing, grading, and delivering a polished narrative fit for the silver screen.

What Happens on a Shoot Day?

A standard shoot day runs 10 hours from crew arrival to departure, including a lunch break. Crews typically need 1-2 hours to set up and 1.5 hours to pack out, leaving around 6-7 hours of filming time. The exact schedule depends on production complexity and setup changes.

How Long Does Planning Take?

In a pinch, we can mobilize in 48 hours, but 1-2 weeks is the norm. Complex productions—international shoots, actors, animals, specialized gear—may need more time. We’ll align with your deadlines to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What Can I Capture in a Day?

Output depends on goals and budget.

  • Scripted content moves slower, especially with actors or intricate scenes.
  • Interviews? We can film 5-8 in a day, assuming minimal location changes.
  • Piggybacking: Combine video with photography for more content with marginal extra cost.

How Does Crew Size Impact My Video?

Crew size is a balance of budget and production quality:

  • Larger crews = Faster pace, more specialized roles, higher production polish.
  • Smaller crews = More flexibility, but roles overlap, slowing production slightly.

We tailor your production plan to maximize value based on your needs.

What Do I Need to Provide?

We handle logistics, but we’ll need your help with:

  • Talent info: Names, titles, scheduling constraints.
  • Location details: Access, security, parking, lighting control.
  • Onsite contact: Someone to assist on the production day.

Relax, We’ve Got This!

Productions are complex, but our team makes the process smooth, strategic, and—yes—fun.
