Tampa video production
Brand films for businesses run by the people who own them, built from a written brand strategy and an interview with you.
What we make
A brand film is a short documentary about your business, told by the person who runs it. One sit-down interview is the spine. The work, the tools and the place are filmed around it.
Brand documentaries
A Brand Documentary is the longer form: three to five minutes, with you, your staff and the customers who keep coming back, plus a 60 second version for your homepage and ads. It adds a half day of filming with your staff and customers.
Built on a strategy
Every film starts from a Brand Foundation: a session with you, short interviews with your customers, and a written brand platform you approve. The interview questions come from it, and the cut is checked against it.
Before the shoot you approve a treatment and a shot list in writing.
What you get
- A master film for your website
