VIDEO PRODUCTION FAQs
How much does it cost to produce a corporate or business video?
There's no set price, because each project is different, and for each project there are many different approaches that can affect the cost. Professionally produced videos can be just a few thousand dollars, while more complex projects will run higher. We budget each project individually, and will discuss alternate approaches with you.

What do I need in order to produce a video for my company?
You just need to call us. We'll ask you what you want to accomplish with your video, who your audience is, where and when you need to show it, and what you want to say in it. From that, we'll develop a concept and detailed proposal for your review.
How long should my video be?
There's no set length that's right for all situations. Consider your audience, how they'll view your video, the topic, and their level of interest. We can tell a good story in two minutes, but we've also produced 30 minute corporate documentaries. Five to seven minutes is a common length. Shorter is better for the Web; however, an information-packed Webcast delivered to a targeted audience can run longer and still hold attention.
Should it be scripted?
Scripted pieces are often useful, but not in every situation. We are experienced scriptwriters and will take care of you if the project calls for writing dialog for professional actors, voiceover, or an executive message to be read from a teleprompter. But, we're also highly experienced in producing interview-driven videos, where the story is told by you, your employees or customers.
How much time does it take to produce a corporate video?
That all depends. Shorter projects can be done in as little as a week or two from pre-production to delivery. More complex projects that involve scripting, casting, location arrangements, and extensive editing can take 8 weeks or longer.
Can you help me create a video for my Web site or for YouTube?
Online video is our specialty. We deliver encoded media files for use on public or internal Web sites, or for popular online video services such as YouTube. If you'd like to see your video go viral, we'll connect you with Karma Media Labs, who can build a complete social media marketing program around your video.
I need to show my video to a bilingual or multilingual audience. Can you help me?
You bet. We've produced projects for multilingual audiences. There are a number of approaches, including alternate voiceover tracks, subtitles, and alternate scenes. We'll help you determine the best approach.
I need more than just a production company. I need a partner who can manage our video communications initiatives. Can you help me?
You've come to the right place. We are more than a full service production company; we are a full service video agency. We'll manage your project from concept development to completion, but that's not all. With our corporate communications and marketing background, we understand that your real goal is not just producing a video, but communicating to your audience. We'll counsel you on the best way to accomplish that, provide whatever services you need to get it done, and make the process as easy as possible for you. And if you've never done this before, don't worry: we'll hold your hand all the way through.
