What is it?

A documentary-style video is a type of storytelling that presents a real-world narrative through interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and authentic experiences. Unlike scripted commercials or ads, documentary-style videos focus on truth, transparency, and genuine emotion. They often follow the lives of people involved with your company, showcase the impact of your product or service, or highlight the stories of customers, employees, or stakeholders. This approach builds credibility by showcasing raw, unscripted moments that resonate deeply with viewers.

What are the benefits?

Documentary-style videos give you the opportunity to showcase the human side of your brand, demonstrating your values, culture, and commitment in a way that feels real and unpolished, setting you apart from the competition.

Docu-style Video FAQ's

How do you come up with a concept?
We begin by understanding your brand, values, and goals. We collaborate with you to identify key stories—whether they’re from customers, employees, or the origin of your company—that align with your messaging. Then, we brainstorm creative ways to tell those stories authentically, ensuring that the concept resonates with your target audience while highlighting what makes your brand unique.
How do you measure success?
Success is typically measured by viewer engagement, such as watch time, shares, and comments. We also track conversions, like whether viewers take the desired action after watching the video (e.g., making a purchase, signing up, or inquiring about services). Using tools like Google Analytics or integrations with platforms like Salesforce, you can evaluate how the video impacts your business objectives.
How much does a docu-style video cost?
The cost of a documentary-style video can range from $25,000 to $100,000 (a broad range, we know). A lot of it depends on factors like the complexity of the concept, production location, talent required, and post-production needs. This typically includes pre-production planning, shooting, editing, and final delivery. However, utilizing our tailored packages to create a series of videos, the per-video cost will decrease as the number of videos in the production cycle increases.
How long does testimonial video production take?
On average, documentary-style videos take 6-12 weeks to complete. The timeline depends on the scope of the project, including scheduling interviews, gathering footage, and post-production editing. We work closely with you to ensure a smooth process, but it’s essential to account for time to coordinate interviews, gather feedback, and make revisions.
