Hybrid meetings and conferences
Recorded sessions, edited for on-demand

A humanity-first approach to AI.

When you work with us, you can trust two things:

AI makes us faster. We use it to run a more effective operation and to streamline production.
A person does the work. Everything you get from us has been reviewed, produced, edited and checked by a human.

Questions

What people ask before we start.

How much does a project cost?

We price each project on its own, based on what you need, the timeline and the crew it takes. Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll send a clear, flat estimate before any work starts.

Where do you work?

We’re based in the Richmond, Virginia, area and work with organizations throughout the state. We also travel for shoots, events and projects beyond Virginia when the work calls for it.

How long does a video take?

It depends on the project, but a straightforward video typically takes a few weeks from start to finish. Working against a tight deadline? We’ve turned projects around in as little as a day or two when the scope allows.

Do you bring the crew and equipment?

Yes. We bring the cameras, lighting, audio gear and production expertise needed to get the job done, along with professional editing and post-production. We tailor the crew and equipment to your project, so you don’t have to coordinate the pieces yourself.

Can you fly a drone at our site?

Yes. Our multimedia producer holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate. Before each flight, we check airspace restrictions and other applicable requirements to determine whether the flight can be conducted safely and legally.

Do we own the final files?

Yes. You’ll receive the finished video, photographs and other deliverables specified in your project agreement, in the agreed-upon formats. Need raw footage or working files? We can discuss availability and delivery as part of the project.
