      Social Media Videos Review from Carly Cooke

      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!

      Working with The Herman Mantis team was one of the best decisions I've ever made as a small business owner. They took the time to really understand our vision then used their rare combination of artistry, creativity, and sensitivity to produce a video that blew away all of my expectations. As an educational company, our entire business hinges on building trust with our potential clients. The Herman Mantis video perfectly captured our genuine passion for helping students, which is not easy to do. Thank you so much Sam and Will. We look forward to our next project!

      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.

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!

      We highly recommend Blue Tie Production! Jake and Clayton were both super friendly and very enthusiastic to capture our wedding. A unique aspect of our wedding video is an interview they did with us individually before the wedding. It provides a personal touch to our wedding video, capturing the love and anticipation we were both feeling the morning of the wedding. Jake went above and beyond our expectations and even came to our rehearsal in order to map out some potential shots. He also had our wedding video back to us in 2 weeks which is unheard of in the wedding industry. Thank you Jake!

      Roland expertly condensed a three hour masterclass into a 2.5 minutes video that not only captured the essence of the day, but delivered a compelling narrative that showcased the energy, insights, and key takeaways. His keen eye for detail, seamless editing, and ability to distill complex moments into a dynamic, engaging highlight reel made the final product both impactful and professional. Highly recommended.

      Carol diplomatically transitioned me from my previous website, which had great functionality circa ... 2005, to a new web presence that is beautiful, comprehensive, intuitive and pleasurable for the visitor, and spectacularly easy for me to tweak, revise, and update as time goes by. And crucially, the work of making sure it continues to display well across all devices in an atmosphere of continulously changing internet functionality and protocols? Carol does that part!

      I have had occasion to work with many different web developers. Carol is, without a doubt, the best. She is diligent, creative, communicates well, and takes the time to understand the assignment and clearly outline her recommended solution. On the other hand, she's so highly productive that she made *us* the project's bottleneck...but that's a nice problem to have. I would work with her again anytime.

      Lori Bernstein's Review Sourced from Google

      It was a pleasure (and a relief!) to have Carol re-do my very old website. She asked the right questions, to draw out what I needed and liked. She took my ideas into account, while giving me the benefit of her expertise with color, design, and the technical “under-the-hood” aspects that I thankfully do not need to understand. The process was efficient and enjoyable. I recommend Carol wholeheartedly!

      In modern times creatives struggle with deciding between investing in traditional large scale film production and quick, nimble shoots to bring their content goals to a reality.

Regardless how baked your idea is or what level of service you are looking for - this team of producers, directors and operators are guaranteed to elevate and execute your vision (and you're sure to make some great friends with the team along the way!)

      We engaged the Kiln to produce two videos for CFMWS and Soldier On. From the start, Sophie and Evan stand out, they bring enthusiasm, professionalism and a very good directorial and visual style to the table. The productions were well produced and organized. They are easy to communicate with as well as take and share ideas. This is a dream boutique production company, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

      I am thrilled with the results of recent product videos and stills produced by The Kiln. Sophie's ability to conceptualize project goals, despite the industry, are impressive and effective. Her detailed planning and follow through making working with The Kiln a breeze. Sophie's accountability and clear communication kept our project on track and within budget. As a bonus, Sophie is a delightful person which makes working together all the more fun.

Everything you need to know before you hire a documentary production company

How long does documentary production take?

Feature documentaries take a year or more to produce. Short-form documentaries, on the other hand, can be done within 2 to 3 months. Here's how much each phase entails for these smaller productions:

  • Pre-production: 4 to 6+ weeks
  • Production: 1 to 2 weeks
  • Post-production: 2 to 6+ weeks

How can these companies make my documentary accessible to broader audiences?

Globally, there is an increasing expectation that accessibility must be included in plans for all documentaries, not just projects relating to disability.

This means inclusion of items relating to accessibility for d/Deaf, hard-of-hearing (HOH), blind, and low-vision audiences.

To help make documentaries accessible to broader and diverse audiences, filming crews include the following post-production elements:

  • Transcripts: Cover all audible and visual elements that support the work around closed captions and audio descriptions.
  • Closed captions (CC): Similar to subtitles, these captions cover spoken dialogue, changes of speaker, descriptions of music, and key sound effects to make the film accessible without sound; mainly intended for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.
  • Audio descriptions (AD): Audio tracks for blind and low-vision audiences that feature the full soundtrack but add verbal commentary on what is happening visually on-screen, to set the scene and describe other details.

In contemporary standards, these deliverables are a prerequisite for many film festivals, awards bodies, television networks, and streaming platforms.

Do I need a script before I approach a documentary production company?

In most cases, you don't need a prepared script.

Some businesses prefer to have a fully written script before commencing the interview process, while others begin scouting with just a rough idea of what they wish to portray in the documentary.

In that regard, a documentary production agency can help you translate your idea into a workable script as they know how to structure a story visually.

That said, having a basic outline in mind will help you convey your vision much more easily.

How do these production crews handle revisions during post-production?

Most documentary production companies include two to three revision rounds as part of the service package.

After the first version is finalized, you will need to review it and suggest changes.

When doing revisions, aim for consolidated feedback, i.e., collecting the remarks of all people involved in the review and sending them to the documentary production company all at once.

Consolidated feedback will keep the process efficient and will prevent you from being charged extra for going beyond the agreed number of revisions.

What kind of portfolio should a documentary production agency have?

A documentary film company should have a portfolio that highlights its strengths in producing various genres, industries, and market niches. Typically, it should contain the following:

  • Client name and background
  • Equipment (optional)
  • Team composition and roles
  • Budget and timeline
  • Distribution platforms (e.g., social media, OOH)
  • Film approach and rationale
  • Scripts, screenplays, storyboards, or concept sketches
  • Video link
  • Business outcome

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.
