Featured Videos
Do They Actually Understand Marketing Strategy, or Just Show Up With Cameras?
Most video companies execute what you tell them. We operate as strategic partners—helping you figure out what to create, not just how to film it.
Our process: Pre-production strategy sessions clarify messaging and campaign objectives before filming begins. We develop scripting and storyboarding frameworks; you refine for brand voice. You approve concepts; we handle creative execution—no art-directing every camera angle.
Timeline for: 60:90 brand video:
- Week 1: Strategy, scripting, storyboard approval
- Week 2-3: Production
- Week 4: Editing, revisions, final delivery
Project management structure: Single point of contact manages your entire project. You review at three key milestones (concept, rough cut, final). Two revision rounds included; additional changes billed transparently upfront. Weekly updates—you never chase us for status.
What Proof Does This Work for Companies Like Yours?
Zeiss Vision Technology Solutions needed to communicate complex optometry equipment benefits to skeptical eye care professionals. Instead of generic product demos, we developed practitioner-focused narratives featuring real optometrists explaining patient outcome improvements. We handled scripting, multi-location filming, and post-production—delivering content Zeiss deployed across their 50+ person sales team and website.
Mechanism of Advantage: By centering practitioner experience over product features, the video built trust with the target audience, evaluating equipment investments. Strategic framing drove effectiveness, not just production quality.
What Would Prevent This From Working?
This approach works best when:
- You need strategic input, not just execution
- Timeline allows 2-4 week cycles (rush possible with adjusted scope)
- You value milestone approvals over constant involvement
May not fit if:
- You require frame-by-frame creative control
- Approval involves 5+ stakeholders with conflicting input
- You need 24-hour edit turnarounds
- Lowest-cost option is the priority regardless of strategic value
What’s the Real Competitive Advantage?
Most video companies position themselves as expensive creative agencies or cheap commodity vendors. Brave Dog operates between: strategic collaboration without agency overhead, reliable execution without sacrificing messaging quality.
Specific mechanisms:
- Dual expertise: Team includes former marketing professionals who understand campaign strategy, plus award-winning producers who execute efficiently
- Tech infrastructure: Adobe Creative Suite and Dropbox enable real-time collaboration and faster revision cycles
- Geographic flexibility: Eastern US coverage eliminates travel premiums
This combination works for marketing managers at mid-market companies needing professional video content without $50K agency retainers or generic commodity output.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you price video projects?
Pricing depends on project complexity—scripting requirements, shoot days, locations, and post-production intensity. A typical range for a project is $2K- $8K.
What’s included: Strategy consultation, scriptwriting, filming, editing, multiple revision rounds, multiple format deliverables (16:9 for web, 1:1 and 9:16 for social, 4K and 1080p options).
Not included: Travel outside service areas, complex animation, licensed stock content, rush fees, additional revisions beyond two rounds.
Detailed quotes provided after a 30-minute consultation. Payment is required after the project is completed and delivered.
Can you handle multiple videos or ongoing content needs?
Yes. Many clients start with single projects, then expand to retainer arrangements.
Common structures:
- Monthly retainer: $6K/month produces 3-4 short-form videos or 1-2 longer pieces
- Quarterly campaigns: $20K per quarter for 3-5 coordinated videos
- Recurring series: Monthly testimonials at $4K each or quarterly thought leadership at $8K per video
Benefits: Strategic continuity, 20-30% cost efficiency from shared production, priority scheduling, and predictable budgeting.
We start with 3-month pilots, then move to rolling monthly agreements or annual contracts with preferred pricing.
What if we need revisions beyond the two included rounds?
Two rounds typically suffice because our three-stage approval process (concept, rough cut, final) catches issues early. About 80% of projects need only one revision round.
What counts as one round: All feedback submitted together at rough cut or final stage.
Additional rounds: Billed at $150/hour with estimates provided upfront. Common when stakeholders change direction mid-project or scope expands.
Do you help with video distribution and optimization?
We deliver videos optimized for your platforms and provide strategic guidance, but we’re not a media buying agency.
We provide:
- Multiple format exports (16:9, 1:1, 9:16 in 4K and 1080p)
- Platform recommendations and publishing best practices
- Repurposing strategy for maximum content mileage
- Closed caption files for accessibility
We don’t handle: Paid social ads, organic posting, YouTube SEO, or analytics reporting. We can recommend specialist partners for hands-on distribution.
How quickly can you start a new project?
Typical timeline: 1-2 weeks from signed agreement to production kickoff.
Rush projects possible (1 week start) for simpler videos when our crew is available and you can provide rapid approvals. Rush work includes 20-30% premium.
Fastest path: Schedule consultation (2-3 days) → receive proposal (24-48 hours) → sign and deposit → immediate kickoff.
Pro tip: Book 4-6 weeks ahead for Q4/Q1 projects when our calendar fills fastest.
