Why it matters

A brochure lists the programs. A film shows the place.

Families and students choose a school on a feeling: do I belong here, and will it get me where I am going. A film answers that with real students, real teachers and real classrooms.

We have filmed a university, community and technical colleges, K-12 and elementary schools, early childhood centers and special education programs. We plan around the school calendar and handle releases for everyone on camera.

I had an urgent request for a video and they hopped on it. The video was high quality and exactly what we needed on the first draft. They took time to talk with me and walk me through exactly what my vision was.

They made our team, who isn't always used to having the camera in front of them, feel comfortable and proud of the work they do. Both videos exceeded our expectations in every way.

Questions

Education video, answered.

How do you handle filming students and minors?

Every student on camera has a signed release, from a parent or guardian for minors. We work from the list your school approves, keep anyone without a release out of frame, and you approve the final cut.

Can you work around the school calendar?

Yes. The shoot date is set during planning, around class schedules, testing and breaks. Interviews happen at fixed times so nobody misses more class than they need to.

What kinds of education videos do you make?

Enrollment and program films, school and district story films, teacher and staff recruiting videos, student and alumni stories, and anniversary films.

How much does a school or college video cost?

Your Company Story is $14,950: the written Blueprint, a three to four minute film from one shoot day, the Implementation Plan, Launch Week and three check-ins. It is $7,475 to start and $7,475 when you approve the film. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

How long does a project take?

About twelve weeks from signing to a finished film. You approve the written Blueprint first, we film in one day, and the first cut arrives three to four weeks after the shoot.

How much of our time does it take?

About five percent of the work. A 30-minute first call, an hour of discovery, thirty minutes to read and approve the Blueprint, and your people at set times on the shoot day. We plan it, run the day and edit it.

Pricing in full: one project, one number. Comparing companies? Questions to ask any video company.
