It Comes Down To Telling An Honest Story You Will Define As Part of Our Process
Following our proprietary pre-production planning process, you identify the focus of the story, the headline and key messages. You tell us who we will interview, when and where. It is a turnkey simple process that ensures you own your own narrative and get the story you want.
Then the storyteller takes over the process shepherding your story through from interview to final video. It is as though you have your own reporter working for you because that is exactly what it is.
Our most popular service, is the production of a broadcast television quality premium video story by a multimedia journalist.
- Our reporters serve as a one person band, handling the entire production shoot, editing and preparation of your story.
- The reporter will conduct up to four short on-camera interviews at a single location of your choosing.
- The reporter will shoot b-roll on location following the interviews.
- We expect most shoots to last no longer than two hours.

The polished broadcast quality story will include music, professional motion graphics, and interview clips with professionally shot b-roll to tell your story. It may also include reporter voice over narration if you choose.
How Long Will Your Story Be?
The typical story is around three minutes. We sell it as 2 ½ to 5 minutes. It will be the best length to tell your story and hold your audience’s interest.
You Will Own Our Work Product
You will own the copyright on the story, which is one of the other differentiating factors in our approach versus other production companies. We have a license to the story, while you own the copyright. We also offer you the chance to purchase the raw footage (the stuff that ends up on the “virtual” editing room floor) as you can use that in your social media and other ongoing communications.
