Your crews, your trucks, your job sites. Every clip on this page was shot by our team within three hours of Lexington. No stock footage, no actors, and the raw files are yours the day we hand them over.
15 minute call. We will tell you honestly if video is not what you need first.A year of work, cut together. Pick a client below to watch theirs.
Almost every owner we talk to is in one of these three, and none of them is a failure of effort. They are what happens when the work comes first and the camera comes last.
There is no version of this where a busy owner finds a free Tuesday to figure out lighting and a tripod. The work is not the problem and neither is the will. Nobody with a full schedule has ever solved this alone.
Vertical, wind on the mic, the sun behind you, and forty seconds of talking with no hook in the first three. The instinct was right. What is missing is a script, a second angle and somebody whose job is to watch the frame.
A stock clip of a roof in Arizona, a voiceover nobody on your team recorded, and a logo animation at the end. It was technically a video. It was not your company, and every competitor running the same library looks identical.
Somebody drives out, writes it before they shoot it, and hands you back cuts you own. That is the whole service. The rest of this page is what that actually looks like on a Tuesday at your job site.
A landscape film squeezed into a phone frame looks like a landscape film squeezed into a phone frame. We shoot these properly on the same day, so what lands in the feed was made for the feed.
Nobody tells you this part before you sign, so here it is up front. Six steps, and only four of them want anything from you at all.
We work out what the footage has to do before anybody picks a date. What sells your job, which crews and sites we can film, and what you already have that we should not shoot again.
You do not need answers to everything. Most of this comes out in conversation.Every spot gets written before a camera comes out of a bag. You get the scripts to read, and nothing gets filmed that you have not signed off on.
If a line does not sound like you, say so. That is what this step is for.A two person crew arrives with everything already loaded. You walk us around the site for a few minutes and then go back to work.
Nobody needs to stop working. We shoot around the job rather than staging it.Crews working, equipment moving, the site as it actually is. If you are on camera we shoot that in a block so it is over quickly, and we run enough takes that nobody has to be good on the first one.
Most owners are on camera for under an hour of the day.Colour, sound, captions, and a version for every place the footage has to work. You hear nothing from us during this part, which is deliberate.
Horizontal, vertical and square come off the same session.First cuts come back with one round of notes included. Once you sign off, every file is yours: the finished cuts, the raw footage, all of it.
You keep the raw files whether or not we ever work together again.That is the whole list. If something on it is a problem, tell us on the planning call and we will work around it.
“ We were not natural in front of a camera. What they put together in editing made us look way better than reality. ”
Christian Loftus Business owner, Lexington KYAnywhere on this list is a normal shoot day for us. No travel line on the invoice, no asking you to come to a studio. Pick a city and the map goes there.
Call anyway. Some drives are worth making and some are not, and we will tell you honestly which one yours is rather than quietly adding a travel charge.
Ask about your areaNot how long it takes or who owns the files, because those are answered further up this page. These are the ones that come out on the second call, and two of them we answer with a no.
We reschedule, at no charge, and we make that call the evening before rather than at seven the next morning. Rain is not a minor inconvenience on a job site shoot, it is the difference between footage that sells work and footage of people standing around under a tarp. The one exception is when the weather is the story: a roofing crew tarping a storm job in the rain is worth driving out for.
Then we missed something in the planning call, and that is on us. You get a round of notes on every piece as part of the work, and we would rather hear that a cut is wrong than have you post it politely and never call again. What we will not do is recut the same piece five times chasing a feeling nobody can describe. If two rounds have not landed it, the problem is the brief and we go back and fix that instead.
Yes, all of it. The finished cuts, the raw footage, the project files. They go on a drive and they are yours whether you leave after one month or five years, and nothing gets held back as leverage to keep you. Any agency that keeps your footage is telling you what they think of their own work.
On its own, no. A film sitting on a home page nobody visits does nothing, and we will tell you that on the first call rather than after you have paid. Video works when it is running somewhere: in an ad account, on a service page that ranks, in a feed you post to. If none of those exist yet, that is the thing to fix first, and we would rather build that than sell you a shoot you cannot use.
Often you should. If you need one clean video of a finished job, a good freelancer will do it for a fraction of what we charge and you will be happy. The difference is what happens after the shoot: whether the footage was planned around where it has to run, whether there are enough cuts to keep an ad account fed for a quarter, and whether somebody is watching what performs and asking for more of it. If none of that matters to you yet, hire the freelancer.
More than one and fewer than you fear. One brand film changes nothing on its own. A shoot day that produces a handful of ad cuts, a couple of explainers and a run of vertical clips gives you enough to test with, and testing is what finds the one that works. Plan on a shoot a quarter rather than a video a year, because the second one is always better than the first for reasons that have nothing to do with the camera.
