Video Production in Columbus, IN
Columbus is the headquarters of Cummins Inc. and one of the most architecturally significant small cities in the country, with mid-century modernist buildings by Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei.
What we do in Columbus
Four formats, all documentary-style and built for B2B companies. Pick the one that fits the job to see Columbus pricing and local context.
Corporate Video Production in Columbus
Corporate video covers the everyday video assets a B2B company needs: company overviews, capability stories, executive messages, internal communications, and recruiting content. The format is functional, the audience is specific, and the goal is usually clarity rather than entertainment.
Timeline: 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to delivery
Budget: $8,000 to $25,000 for a single hero piece with derivatives
Brand Film Production in Columbus
Brand films are documentary-style short films (typically 2 to 4 minutes) that capture a company's identity, values, or origin story. They're built around interviews with the people who actually do the work, not actors or polished narration. The goal is to make a viewer remember a specific company, not a generic category.
Timeline: 6 to 10 weeks from kickoff to delivery
Budget: $15,000 to $35,000 for a hero brand film with derivatives
Event Videography in Columbus
Event videography covers corporate conferences, galas, product launches, and milestone celebrations. The deliverable is usually a 2 to 3 minute highlight video plus full session recordings, with optional same-day social cuts.
Timeline: 2 to 3 weeks from event date to highlight delivery
Budget: $4,500 to $9,000 for a one-day corporate event
Commercial Video Production in Columbus
Commercial video production covers paid-media spots, web ads, and brand-driven product films. Format is shorter and more directed than documentary brand work: 30 to 60 second hero spots, often with a scripted voiceover or actor performance, optimized for paid social or broadcast.
Timeline: 5 to 7 weeks from kickoff to delivery
Budget: $10,000 to $40,000 for a campaign with multiple cuts
