Forge Apollo Reviews & Testimonials
Scott Lepkofker Chief Media Officer at Elite Media Group
5.0★
Video Marketing Review from Scott Lepkofker
We've been partners with Forge Apollo for nearly three years, and they have been an incredible extension of our team. From incredible creative and high-quality production to pitch development, thought leadership, and strategic introductions, they consistently bring a level of expertise, creativity, and commitment that is hard to find in a partner. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely operate like a partner rather than a vendor. They take the time to understand our business, our clients, and what were trying to accomplish, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to help us succeed. Their creative work is consistently impressive, and their production capabilities allow us to bring big ideas to life at a very high level. They also have some impressive proprietary technology that gives them a unique point of differentiation and adds another layer of value to what they bring to the table. Ryan Holloway, the CEO, deserves a special mention. He is extremely hands-on and engaged, and I never feel like Im being passed off to someone else once the relationship is established. Ryan is accessible, thoughtful, and personally invested in the success of our partnership. Over the past three years, Forge Apollo has helped us elevate our pitches, strengthen our thought leadership, expand our network, and ultimately present a stronger version of our business to the market. Theyre the type of partner that rolls up their sleeves, gets in the trenches with you, and genuinely cares about the outcome. I would highly recommend Forge Apollo to any organization looking for a creative partner that brings together great people, incredible creative, strong production, and innovative technology.

Video Marketing Review from Jessica Farren
I cannot say enough good things about this company. Had a great experience working with them on several projects for our company, ASD, this year. As a funeral home answering service, we needed to take our marketing to the next level in a way that not only showcased our company's innovation but also exemplified our client-centric approach to business. Forge Apollo not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a website that perfectly encapsulates our values. Their attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to understanding our unique needs made the entire process seamless. Additionally, Forge Apollo showcased their prowess in video marketing by creating captivating videos for ASD. These videos highlighted our company's comprehensive solutions and featured insightful interviews with current clients and heartfelt conversations with our staff. The team at Forge Apollo proved to be a pleasure to work with, demonstrating a perfect blend of professionalism and creativity. Their responsiveness to client needs and ability to execute on diverse goals make them an invaluable partner. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Forge Apollo to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented team for their web design and marketing needs.

SEO Review from Andrew Hardgrove
Our company worked with Harris & Ward for many years before we decided to explore being acquired by a national fire protection company. Harris & Ward played an important role in helping us maximize the value of our business by positioning us as the go-to provider for our services in the local market. Our financials reflected that growth, but so did our presence on Google. We were even outranking the company looking to acquire us in our own market, which really impressed them during the acquisition process. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Harris & Ward team. They truly understand their industry, and the results they helped us achieve had a real impact on the value and visibility of our business. I would highly recommend them.

Harris & Ward really helped to turn around our Orthodontic practice marketing. They not only rebuilt our website but actually came to our offices to shoot the videos and stills used for content. In addition, they successfully grew our organic search, managed our GBP and provided strategies for digital ad campaigns. Todd and his team are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this group to any business!

Right from the very beginning, Rich and his team member, Pete made me feel comfortable and confident. They were patient and accommodating while filming and doing photo shoots. Knowing that I am deaf, Rich learned a few signs before meeting me to help guide me in the film making process and the photo shoot. I was very impressed and felt this was helpful especially to communicate when to start during the filming and photo shoots. I had amazing results. I highly recommend Hawke Filmmaki

I had the pleasure of working with Richard Hawke and his team in the production of a video for one of our charitable events. As the Director of Marketing & Communications for a non-profit, our budget for videos is limited; however, we want to have the best quality product for the dollars we have. Working with Hawke Commercial Filmmaking was wonderful because they set expectations upfront about what could be achieved within our budget parameters, but the experience of working with the team and the end product surpassed those expectations. Richard and his team were great to work with, true partnership and collaborative environment, and the final video was a hit at our event! I would gladly work with Hawke again in the future and highly recommend to anyone.

Monika Jaszczak's Review Sourced from Google
I recommend Play Colors Media (Karolina Biernacka ART) as a trustworthy and fully professional partner in the implementation of film projects of strategic importance for the image of the institution.On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Auet Bank, we entrusted the Play Colors Media team with the comprehensive production of a film that was to tell the story of our history, values and the place we occupy in the Polish financial sector. The result of this cooperation was a 20-minute anniversary film and its shortened, dynamic version for the needs of social media.The project was implemented with the utmost care - both in terms of content and aesthetics. The Play Colors Media team was responsible for all stages of production - from creating the script, through organizing six days of shooting, to advanced post-production and developing materials for various communication channels. At every stage of cooperation, we could count on their expert advice, punctuality and flexible approach to our expectations.Another distinctive element of this implementation was storytelling – the story of our bank was presented in an engaging and modern way, which was very well received both within the organization and among our clients and partners. I recommend Play Colors Media to all institutions that are looking not only for a film producer, but above all for a strategic partner in building a brand image through high-quality film content.

Films by Farallon was excellent to work with from start to finish.Their communication was clear and timely throughout the pre-production process, and they executed exactly to spec on shoot day. We filmed a one-person, direct-to-camera interview on a chroma blue screen, with both boom and lav audio, and they also captured a variety of beautiful b-roll shots around the office.Everything was delivered as unedited 4K ProRes 422HQ footage, perfectly organized and ready for post. They were flexible and collaborative in thinking through solutions for large file delivery and made the process easy on our end.The team was professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. We'd happily work with them again!

They delivered top-quality work on time, exceeding our expectations. It was truly a pleasure working with them, and we look forward to future projects together!

Working with Niels was an absolute delight! We (from Beyond Products) created two technical product video's for one of our clients, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. Niels and his team really have a great eye for detail, and the communication was super clear from start to finish, with rapid responses throughout. Would 10/10 recommend working with Pro Motion Film!

Hi - I worked with Ideal Insights for a sustainability video we needed for an accreditation. From the very start we felt we were in safe hands. Nick Twigg made the entire process so user-friendly, it was a pleasure to work with people who "just get it" ! The storyboarding, creative inputs and suggestions on direction were first-class. They did everything, from auditioning actors, to writing the script and on-the-day filming. All of this was done with minimal disruption to our business. A fair and realistic fee that gave us the quality and the outcome we desired. I would definitely use again, and highly recommend their services.Stuart Leckie - Marketing Director - St Ermin's Hotel (London).

We'd never worked with the guys at Ideal Insight before so, while their portfolio was very impressive, we weren't really sure what to expect. Not only are the people really great to work with, but their team are helpful, professional and eager to make suggestions to either improve our vision or enhance it. We filmed for a day and ended up with better content than we could've hoped for, and we're looking forward to working with them on more content in the future!

Laurena McKenna's Review Sourced from Google
Nick Twig and his team had a two-week brief to put together a compelling, visually-pleasing 4-minute corporate video for a last-minute conference we were attending. We interviewed three other video production companies for the job, but Ideal Insight was way ahead of the rest, with regards innovative and workable creative concepts that fulfilled the brief perfectly. In a nutshell, they just got us and our business straight away. We knew a two-week deadline was a big ask - but Ideal Insight worked night and day to meet the deadline - and even coped with some changes we wanted to make at the last minute.I’ve dealt with a number of video production companies before, but none have come anywhere close to offering such an astounding service, fast turnaround and true understanding of your business as Ideal Insight. I couldn’t recommend more highly.Laurena McKenna, Head of PR, Dark Intelligence

We had an amazing experience working with Jerry especially on such short notice. We didn’t know if we wanted to have videography until about 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Jerry swooped in and did an amazing job. Instant film was completed and sent over the night of the wedding. Ceremony film was done within the week. Amazing turnaround speed and fantastic quality. I don’t know how he does it!

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Documentary Production Companies
What does a documentary production company do?
Documentary video production companies provide filming and editing services for streaming platforms, NGOs, and broadcasters. They specialize in capturing authentic human and nature experiences that are thought-provoking and inspire action. The core idea behind this cinematic format is to understand the people behind the story, their philosophy and drive, and bring the topic closer to the audience.
The main services of documentary production companies can be segmented into three tiers:
Pre-production services: Conceptualization, research, scheduling, location scouting, and budgeting
Production services: Filming, directing, interviews with subjects, audio recording, and cinematography
Post-production services: Editing, archival footage insertion, adding subtitles, voiceover, sound design, and color grading
Some agencies also produce historical, social impact, educational, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) documentaries, and assist with festival submissions and distribution.
What kind of documentaries do these companies make?
Social impact and advocacy: Aimed at prompting public debate or activism for social justice and environmental issues
Investigative and crime: In-depth research into true stories, profiled crimes, historical events, or unsolved mysteries
Biographical and historical: Detailed explorations of influential individuals or historical events
Nature and science: Wildlife films and environmental documentaries
Branded documentaries: Create documentaries about a brand’s mission, impact, milestones, or corporate journey
Observational: Capturing real-life events as they unfold with minimal intervention from the filmmakers
Docuseries: Serialized stories that cover lifestyle, sports, food, or travel topics
How much do documentary video production companies charge for their services?
Documentary movies can cost between $10,000 and $1 million per production. The final price is determined based on the type of documentary, location, production quality, the size of the crew, the equipment needed, and the post-production process. In general, documentaries fall within the following brackets:
Low-budget documentaries: $10,000 to $50,000
Mid-range documentaries: $50,000 to $200,000
High-end documentaries: $200,000 to $1 million or more
On the lower end, many documentaries done by emerging filmmakers have budgets that are even lower than the industry threshold. These crews raise only enough to cover basic hard costs, relying on volunteer labor and in-kind contributions of goods and services.
On the higher end, documentary budgets can go far above $3 million and are usually allocated to high-profile projects supported by studios, broadcasting networks, and global streaming platforms.
In addition to production costs, what else needs to be accounted for in the final budget?
Besides filming costs, the final budget should also consider the following expenses:
Location permits and insurance
Crew salaries
Rental expenses for lighting, shooting, and sound equipment
Travel and accommodation for the crew
Do I own the final footage?
Typically, the contract determines ownership, but it is standard for the production company to own the raw files until final payment, after which the client receives the finished, edited content.
