How we work here

Made here, for companies like the ones we grew up around.

Most of our clients are Minnesota manufacturers, contractors, ag companies, community banks and health systems. They do excellent work that nobody outside the building has ever seen. Our job is to put that on film and make sure sales, hiring and marketing all use it.

We are a Minnesota company with one in-house crew. The people who plan your film are the people who show up to shoot it and the people who edit it. Anywhere within about three hours of Rochester there is no travel charge, which covers most of the state.

What the film does

One story. Three jobs.

01

Sell what you actually do

Customers usually know half of what you make. A company story shows the whole operation in three minutes.

02

Recruit against bigger names

Show candidates the people and the place. Towns full of employers are won by the company that looks like somewhere worth working.

03

Carry it for years

A good company story stays accurate for three to five years. We give your team a plan for every place it should be working.

“The first time I watched the video, it literally brought tears to my eyes. They made it very, very easy for us, with an outstanding product.”

Chastity Christensen, HR Manager, Wenger Corporation, Owatonna

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

Video production in Minnesota, answered.

Where in Minnesota do you film?

Statewide. The catalog on this site includes films made in more than 50 Minnesota towns, including Rochester, the Twin Cities, Mankato, Owatonna, Austin, Red Wing, Winona and St. Cloud area companies.

Is there a travel charge?

Not within about three hours of Rochester, which covers the Twin Cities, southern and central Minnesota. Past that, travel is billed at cost with nothing added.

How much does a company video cost in Minnesota?

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.

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.

Do you work outside Minnesota?

Yes. We have filmed in Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and beyond. Minnesota is home and where most of the work is.

What industries do you know?

Construction and the trades, manufacturing, agriculture, banking and financial services, and healthcare make up most of the catalog. Each has its own page with films from that industry.

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