A Minnesota crew that already works where you work.
Twin Cities companies hire us for the same reason companies in Rochester, Mankato and Owatonna do. They want one team that figures out the story, films it, and makes sure it gets used, not a camera crew that hands over a file.
Planning happens on Zoom or at your office. The shoot happens at your place, on your floor, with your people. Our crew of three drives up the morning of the shoot and is set up before your first interview. There is no travel charge anywhere in the metro, and nothing about the process changes because of where you are.

Win the bid before the meeting
Buyers in the metro have a dozen options within twenty minutes. A company story lets them see your people, your shop and your work before they ever call.
Hire in a tight market
Candidates compare you with every other employer in the Cities. Show them the floor, the crew and the people they would work beside.
One story, used everywhere
Website, proposals, trade shows, job posts, the lobby screen. We hand you the plan for where it goes and walk your team through it.
“I got to your website and I just stared at the video and realized you're the company I'm supposed to call.”
What they needed, and what we made.
Three steps. We do the work.
Ninety-five percent of it is ours, from the first call to the day it goes live.

Video production in the Twin Cities, answered.
Do you work with companies in Minneapolis and St. Paul?
Yes. The films on this page were made for companies in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding metro, from Plymouth and Eden Prairie to Woodbury and Forest Lake. We are in the Twin Cities for shoots, planning meetings and launch sessions as a normal part of the work.
Where is Media Core based, and is there a travel charge?
Our studio is in Rochester, about 90 minutes down Highway 52. There is no travel charge for anything within roughly three hours of Rochester, which covers the whole Twin Cities metro. The crew drives up the morning of the shoot.
How much does video production cost in the Twin Cities?
Local quotes run from a few thousand dollars for a freelancer with a camera to $50,000 or more for an agency production. 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.
Who shows up on the shoot day?
Our own in-house crew of three, with our equipment. The same people who planned the film with you run the day and edit it afterward.
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.
What kinds of video do you make?
Company story films first. From there, recruiting videos, customer testimonials, commercials and ads, project highlight films, sales videos, and safety and training videos.
What is the difference between a videographer and a video production company?
A videographer shows up and films what you point at. A production company plans the story, runs the interviews, films it, edits it and, in our case, hands you a written plan for where the film goes and walks your team through using it.
How do revisions work?
One major round and one minor round of revisions are included. Because you approve the written Blueprint before we film, the first cut is rarely a surprise, and if it misses the Blueprint, fixing it is on us and does not count as a revision.
Do we own the finished video?
Yes. The finished film is yours to use anywhere, for as long as you like, with no licensing fees. Raw footage can be purchased separately for a flat fee we quote up front.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Most first calls are 30 minutes on Zoom because it is faster for you. Discovery and launch sessions can happen at your office.
