Whether you're planning a summer campaign, launching a new product, recruiting talent, or building brand awareness, here are the biggest video trends we're seeing this season and how to make them work for your business.
Clients hiring a video production company today are usually less focused on just “getting a video made” and more focused on what the video will actually do for their business. Here are some of the biggest things clients care about right now.
In video production, we often talk about capturing authentic stories, and authenticity requires inclusion. Whether you’re working with on-screen talent, interview subjects, or crew members, creating an environment that supports people with varying disabilities isn’t just considerate, it makes your work stronger.
If you’ve ever heard a producer say, “Let’s capture some vérité,” you might have nodded along and thought… wait, what exactly does that mean?
In video production, vérité (short for cinéma vérité, French for “truthful cinema”) refers to capturing real moments as they unfold: unscripted, unstaged, and authentic. Instead of directing every action or relying solely on interviews and voiceover, vérité filmmaking observes life in motion.
Every great video project starts the same way: with an idea and the intention to actually make it happen. But intention alone doesn’t ship a finished project. We’ve worked with a lot of organizations over the years - brands, nonprofits, agencies. One thing is always true: the clients who get the most value from video are the ones who set clear goals, commit to a plan, and keep moving even when things get busy.
Q1 has a funny way of feeling both fresh and overwhelming. New goals, new priorities, new pressure to “hit the ground running.” And somewhere in the middle of all that, video lands on your plate.
The good news? Your Q1 video strategy doesn’t need to be big, flashy, or complicated to work. In fact, simple is usually better, especially early in the year.
If you thought video marketing was big in 2025, buckle up. 2026 is basically the year video takes over the universe. Okay, maybe not the whole universe…but definitely your marketing strategy.
We’ve been keeping our cameras, microphones, and collective creative brains tuned into what’s coming next. Here’s what we’re seeing (and yes, we’re already helping clients ride these waves).
As Giving Tuesday and the year-end giving season approach, nonprofit organizations are gearing up for one of the most critical fundraising periods of the year. With inboxes overflowing and social media feeds packed with appeals, video is your way to rise above the noise and move hearts to action.
As we enter Q4 of 2025, it's officially crunch time for businesses looking to hit their year-end goals. Whether you're trying to boost sales, wrap up annual campaigns, or set the tone for 2026, video is still one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal.
Great video isn't just seen - it’s felt. The most compelling video projects do more than deliver visuals and audio; they tap into the viewer’s full sensory memory, creating a multi-sensory illusion that lingers long after the screen goes dark. But how do you engage all five senses - sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell - through a medium that only directly delivers two? You do it by triggering associative memory. Video can't literally recreate flavor or texture, but it can make the audience remember them.
Whether you're capturing an executive’s insights, telling a customer success story, or producing a compelling documentary-style piece, interview-based videos are one of the most effective storytelling tools in a video production company’s toolkit. But how do we go from idea to final product?
The midpoint of the year is more than a milestone - it’s a wake-up call. As 2025 speeds by, it’s time to assess what’s working, drop what’s not, and set smart, forward-thinking goals to finish strong. If video marketing hasn’t been your top priority yet, now’s your chance to turn that around.
In the world of video production, everyone talks about the power of storytelling. It’s become a buzzword, and for good reason - stories captivate, connect, and convert. But here’s the thing: telling a “good” story isn’t enough anymore. If you want your video content to resonate, inspire action, and leave a lasting impression, you have to go beyond a “good” story and create an impact.
As temperatures rise, so does the competition for consumer attention. Summer is a peak season for brand engagement - from product launches to seasonal campaigns and social media surges. If you're a brand looking to stand out, this is the moment to refresh your video strategy.
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks and responsibilities we face. Whether you're balancing a demanding job, personal commitments, or side projects, it often feels like there’s not enough time to devote to the work that truly excites you. But what if you could prioritize work that aligns with your passions? What if the work you love could become not just a source of fulfillment but also a driver of success?
The film production industry has long been dominated by men, but women have played crucial roles throughout its history, shaping the medium both behind and in front of the camera. While often overlooked in historical accounts, their contributions have been vital in the development of cinema, from the early days of film to the modern era.
Video marketing has become an indispensable tool for brands looking to engage audiences and drive results. With video consumption rising across platforms, from YouTube to TikTok, it's no wonder that businesses are investing more in video content. However, as the demand for video content increases, so does the challenge of balancing quality and quantity.
In the world of video production, collaboration is key. The dynamic between clients and video production vendors can significantly influence the outcome of a project. To ensure that your video project runs smoothly and achieves the best possible results, it’s crucial for clients to adopt practices that foster a positive and productive partnership. Here are some strategies for the client-video production vendor relationship.
The end of the year is often a time of reflection, rest, and rejuvenation, but it can also be a challenge for marketers who need to keep their campaigns running, maintain engagement, and plan for the new year ahead. The pressure to balance the need for downtime with the constant demands of marketing can feel overwhelming. However, with some strategic planning and smart tools, it’s possible to unplug and recharge without dropping the ball on your marketing initiatives.
As we approach the end of another year, businesses across industries begin to reflect on the milestones they've achieved, the challenges they've overcome, and the plans they have for the future. For many brands, this time of year is an opportunity to connect with audiences in a meaningful way, and one of the most impactful ways to do this is through video content. Whether you're wrapping up the year's campaigns, celebrating your team's accomplishments, or sharing a vision for the future, end-of-year video projects can help you close the year with purpose and excitement.
