      Working with Morphiaas was a fantastic experience! He was highly responsive and addressed all my questions throughout the website update process. Our original site was over a decade old and definitely needed a refresh. The team delivered exactly what we needed modern, streamlined, and fast. The first version they presented was right on target, and they launched it swiftly without disrupting our daily operations. I would absolutely recommend them 100%!

      We hired Morphiaas to redesign thier website, aiming to include more digital media. The team also worked on the client branding material, including their logo, packaging and bronchures. Morphiaas exceeded the client expectations. Their work was so good that other builders and development contacted the client to ask for their contract. The team managed the engagement well. Their services were cost effective and delivered on schedule. Their teammates were also truly amazing.

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!

      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!

      Recently (April 2024) got to experience an amazing feat of creativity and absolute professionalism during the making of of two video solutions by Karthik and his team @ OVM who not only has been an amazing listener to the Client needs but also an impactful storyteller through his renditions of the final videos. Extremely prompt and works always with a sense of urgency. Karthik has been always prompt in response and extremely systematic in his approach to projects with utmost care and adherence to timelines. Wishing OVM all the very best in future and Congratulating the entire team of OVM for a great work - Ravi Kumar

      The attention to detail that Karthikeyan (the owner) brings to the table is exceptional. A soft spoken creative person who has a lot to offer and takes each clients work as if it is for his own company. A truly rare attitude towards work.

      Ric Gazarian's Review Sourced from Google

      I just had my first video created by Vidpros. This is a legitimately great service. I am always a bit skeptical when it comes to working with an outsourced service. I am always fearful that I will spend more time explaining, training, overviewing what I am trying to accomplish than just doing it myself. This was not the case with Vidpros. I uploaded some of my collaterals to the Vidpro Dashboard, went to bed, and the next morning I had a highly produced video. The benefits- 1 this end product was much better then I could have created on my own 2 Jebie, my editor/producer, intuitively knew what i wanted without having to spend a ton of time coaching and directing him 3 the quality was excellent, I only had 3 edits 4 the quick turn around time was appreciated.

      We have been working with Vidpros now for almost six months. We love our editor and now that our process is fine-tuned, we are able to produce high-quality videos that have a chance to break through in the noise of YouTube. If you are considering Vidpros, I recommend reaching out to them a testing the service for a month to see if it works for you. For us it did! :)

      I can't even count the amount of hours I've saved since working with Vidpros! I absolutely love our editor, Carla! I'll send her an example of how we want the video to look and she'll model the example perfectly! She's super timely and will literally have a video done overnight-- they're not lying! If you want to operate in your zone of genius and delegate video editing, I 100% recommend Vidpros! (And yes, I looked at all their competitors before investing, lol)

      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.

      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

      A lot of people have adequate cameras and even skills, but what we valued with MontaVega is how much effort they put into listening and crafting content for our specific business needs. We had several project needs, and all of them were slightly different. MontaVega captured the essence of each project spot on! We always recommend MontaVega to other businesses looking for marketing content.

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.

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.
