Forge Apollo Reviews & Testimonials
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.
Video Production Review from Rachel Notowich
I have had the pleasure of working with Forge Apollo Studio on a variety of projects over the past five years, and they truly are the best. Their team consistently delivers exceptional content, communicates seamlessly throughout the process, and goes above and beyond expectations every time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier video production or creative content support.

Branded Video Review from Natassja Ebert
Anthony with Feel Right Inc. was the executive producer for our international branded commercial. He seamlessly guided the production team to film with 3 families across 3 states, while keeping the client in tight communication across 3 global time zones. All while, answering every question along the way with a smile on his face. He was the glue that kept professionalism for the client, and pushed our project to the finish line. In result, we have beautiful footage that everyone is proud of. If you need to take a film commercial from concept to reality, Feel Right Inc. is the team for you!
Video Production Review from Sean Dibsy
We worked with Feel Right Inc. to produce a commercial for our mortgage business, and the experience was great from beginning to end. Anthony and his team really understood our vision and helped us create a mortgage commercial that felt professional, modern, and authentic. They made the entire video production process easy, kept everything organized, and delivered a final commercial that we were genuinely excited to share. The video gave us a strong piece of marketing content that helped our mortgage company look more credible and stand out online. I'd highly recommend Feel Right Inc. to any mortgage lender, broker, real estate professional, or financial services company looking for high-quality commercial video production.

The sessions are always well organised, engaging and tailored to each colleague's area of expertise and business focus.Participants are equipped with a clear framework and practical tactics to handle both proactive media opportunities and potential crisis situations with confidence. The training includes realistic, well-thought-out scenarios and questions, making it highly relevant and actionable. As always, the trainers kept the energy high and the pace just right. Our teams not only gained valuable skills but genuinely enjoyed the experience.

Stuart L's Review Sourced from Google
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).
Hannah Juniper's Review Sourced from Google
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

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

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.
