We professionally in-house edit your video, designed to engage... then help you decide where to post on all your social media
We specialize in creating compelling video stories that preserve legacies and inspire audiences. Our services include:
Personal Stories: Celebrate your unique journey with a video that captures your life’s defining moments.
Family History and Legacy: Videos capturing generational stories, memories, and traditions.
Business and Founder Stories: Inspirational narratives highlighting a company’s journey or a founder’s vision.
First Responder Stories: Dynamic tributes to firefighters, paramedics, and police officers, showcasing their impact.
Military Stories: Emotional accounts of veterans’ or active-duty service members’ experiences, often incorporating archival footage or reenactments.
Our standard package includes:
One long-form YouTube video: (10-20 minutes), ideal for in-depth storytelling.
3-5 short-form promotional videos: (15-60 seconds each), optimized for platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok to promote the main video.
The package covers pre-production: (scripting, storyboarding), production (filming, interviews), and post-production (editing, sound design, basic motion graphics).
Additional services: voiceovers or custom animations can be added for a fee.
Costs vary based on production complexity, location, and customization:
Low-End: $1,500–$3,500 for basic production (e.g., single-camera interviews, simple editing).
Average: $3,000–$7,000 for professional-quality videos with moderate complexity.
For a detailed quote, contact us to discuss your project’s needs.
Production typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the project:
Pre-production: 1-2 days for scripting, research, and planning.
Production: 1-2 days for filming, depending on locations and interviews.
Post-production: 1-2 weeks for editing, revisions, and creating short-form promos.
Complex projects (e.g., military stories with reenactments) may take longer. We’ll provide a timeline during the consultation.
Our video storytelling services are ideal if you:
Want to preserve a meaningful story: Whether it’s your personal journey, a family legacy, a business milestone, or a tribute to military or first responder service, our videos capture moments that matter for future generations or wider audiences.

Value a hassle-free process: We guide you from concept to final video, making it easy to tell your story, even if you’re unsure where to start.
If you’re unsure, our free consultation helps clarify how we can bring your vision to life.
We’ll work with you to gather:
Key details about the story: (e.g., personal milestones, family history, business achievements, or military service highlights).
Any existing photos, videos, or documents: (e.g., old letters, medals, or company archives).
Access to interviewees or locations, if applicable.
We handle the rest: from scripting to final edits, but encourage your input to ensure the video reflects your vision.
No problem! Our team can guide you through a discovery process to identify the most compelling aspects of your personal journey, family history, business journey, or service story. We’ll suggest formats and themes to make your video impactful and memorable.

Our long-form videos are 10-20 minutes, optimized for YouTube engagement. This length allows for rich storytelling while keeping viewers hooked. For example, personal, family, and military stories may lean toward 15-20 minutes for emotional depth, while business stories might be 10-15 minutes for concise impact. We tailor the length based on your story and audience.
We create 3-5 short videos (15-60 seconds each) to promote your long-form video across platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, or Facebook. These include teasers, highlight clips, and calls-to-action to drive viewers to the full story. They’re designed to grab attention in busy social media feeds and boost engagement.
Ideal length for these shorts: 15-30 seconds for maximum engagement on promotional platforms. This is snappy enough to capture attention in feeds, with quick hooks and CTAs linking to your long-form video.
For YouTube Shorts specifically, you can extend to 60 seconds (or up to 3 minutes for more context), but shorter performs better for promos.
On Instagram Reels or TikTok, stick to 15-26 seconds to align with platform norms.
Yes! We provide the short-form videos in formats optimized for your preferred platforms (e.g., vertical for TikTok/Reels). You can post them yourself, we can offer guidance on scheduling and captions to maximize reach. If you’d like us to manage posting, ask about our social media add-on services.
Yes, our standard package includes 1-2 rounds of revisions for the long-form video and promos to ensure satisfaction. Additional revisions may incur a small fee. We’ll share drafts at key stages to keep the project aligned with your goals.
Yes, we can create videos in multiple languages, including subtitles, voiceovers, or fully translated scripts. Additional costs may apply for translation or multilingual talent. Let us know your needs during the consultation.
