      Sean and his team are fantastic to work with. For us - it started with asking them to build our company a website. Months later, that site won an award for its design excellence. We then hired them to do video & photography for social media. Once we had great content, Sean & team helped us set up ongoing google ads & social marketing campaigns. They have executed our projects with the highest quality - on time & on budget. Highly recommend partnering with them in the future!

      Will and Sam created a video that conveyed the most intriguing parts of my craft in a way that was truly inspiring. They captured the small moments and details of what I do and flawlessly edited the footage into an intimate peek inside my studio and working life in a creative way. The video has been invaluable in showing my customers what happens behind the scenes, lifting the veil and letting my clients see how I work and what goes into creating my jewelry pieces. I can't recommend them highly enough!

      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.

      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.

      I worked with Play Colors on the production of advertising materials. Both technically and narratively, the materials were prepared in accordance with the guidelines. Thoughtful work with frame and light as well as dynamic, aesthetic editing ensured that the final effect fully met expectations. I also appreciate the good organization of the plan and efficient communication at every stage of implementation. I recommend!

      The decision to cooperate was a bull's-eye! As we expected, the photos are very natural. As a company operating in the resin flooring industry, we always set high standards for the quality of photographs that represent our brand and products. The photographer perfectly understood our business needs and provided us with photos that not only perfectly reflected our brand, but also stood out for their creativity and professionalism. Additionally, we appreciate communication skills, which facilitated our cooperation and made the entire process extremely smooth and effective. We are very pleased with the results of our cooperation and we are happy to recommend our services to all companies looking for high-quality business photography. Very good service in English. Thank you and we recommend it wholeheartedly!

      Brandon Johnson's Review Sourced from Google

      I've worked with many different programs and services to create and maintain web sites since my first HTML site in the late 90s. An everchanging thing, it was difficult to keep up with all the new technologies. Web sites became my least favorite aspect of marketing because everything became so tedious. Linking up with Ruby Shore was the best decision I could have made. When I explained to them my disdain for Wordpress, they happily introduced me to their new system, Waves. Whoa. Surf's up, internetters! Waves is where it's at. I finally was able to create a site exactly the way I imagined it. I didn't run into any of the problems that frustrated me in years past using other services, and it didn't take me long before I was humming along to realize my vision. I want a thing. I get the thing. It just works. I have yet to find any limitations holding me back. Everybody Glows lives online as dreamt because of the team at Ruby Shore. Thank y'all for your awesomeness! Brando

      The business world today has become much more demanding for those of us that want to contribute. For those of us willing to put forth the extra effort, TIME has become our major enemy. Ruby Shore has not only developed applications that save us a tremendous amount of time, they have the ability to understand our process with little explanation. This saves even more TIME!!! Not to mention the flawless operation of these applications and the ability to add more features as we begin to understand all of what Ruby Shore can do for our specialized construction business. We will continue to search for ways to improve our business through specialized applications and we will continue to use Ruby Shore for those application designs, development, and management.

      On behalf of Fitted for Work, I am incredibly grateful to Jasper Pictures for their generous pro bono support.

We would highly recommend Jasper Pictures to anyone looking for exceptional video production services and a really lovely team to work with.

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?

Documentary production companies create non-fiction films that inform, educate, and inspire. Common subjects they cover are nature, true crime, social justice, and corporate stories, presented in a range of formats, including long-form features, episodic series, short-form content, and branded content for streaming platforms and television.  

Common types of documentaries include:  

  • 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.
