      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 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.

      Dhruv Chadha's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with Anthony (Tony) and the team at Feel Right Inc. was an incredible experience. As a startup, this was our first time building a video of this kind to support our upcoming marketing campaign, and Tony took the time to guide us and helped us understand all the production stages so we felt confident throughout the entire process. We are building Ahmi, a brand-new category of hardware product, and Anthony really took the time to understand our brand, what the product does, and our specific use cases for toddlers and infants. Because we were still in the MVP stage with our prototype, he was incredibly collaborative in figuring out how to effectively film the product. Through smart execution and creative direction, he ensured we could provide customers with an authentic, compelling view of exactly how the product functions in a real home environment. Finally, Tony was extremely open to iterating on the script and made smart adjustments to ensure the final video aligned perfectly with our startup's goals. If you're a startup looking for a dedicated video production partner who truly invests in your vision, I highly recommend Feel Right Inc.

      ​We've worked with Empica for many years to deliver media training for our senior leaders, and the experience has consistently been excellent. 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.

      As managing director of various travel companies and other businesses I thoroughly recommend Martin Powell and his team at Empica and am very grateful for the enormous help they gave myself and my team with our public relations for many years. They began handling PR for my company when it was very small and continued to do so as our annual turnover rose to nearly 100 hundred million pounds. My team and I were always been delighted with their proactive approach; the manner in which they regularly liaised with the management team, planning our future PR activities, as well as handling the media on the rare occasions when we needed urgent out of hours help.

      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

      Appsalon redesigned my Homepage and it's so good!! Took less than a week and it's so much better than my plain old template. I can't wait to see the rest of my website once it's updated to match the new design.

      I wasn't sure who to use for SEO services. I had another agency build my website a couple of years ago and it suddenly stopped ranking on Google. Talked to Gareth and got a few good pointers. Since then, they've optimised some shop pages and we've gotten top 3 rankings for some terms. Game changer!

      I had a great experience working with AppSalon on my website. I'm a marketer but I hate programming, so I really appreciated how they updated my website, including the CSS and code. They understand the marketing side too and had some good suggestions for the content on my main landing page.

      We’ve been working with Rob for over two years on an artist series for David Gill Gallery in London, and throughout that time he has consistently delivered exceptional, high-quality content. His professionalism, creativity, and reliability have made him an absolute pleasure to work with, and we’ve never felt the need to look elsewhere.

      We've worked with Rob for a good couple of years now and the work he produces for us is fantastic. From social content to mini documentaries; once you brief Rob on your brand, your objective and your tone, his interpretation is spot on. His ability to capture the essence of your message and translate sometimes quite complex briefs, into engaging films, is second to none. Highly recommended.

      Rob's an absolute dream to work with. He always brings my vision to life, but more importantly, elevates it with his own creative eye and thoughtful suggestions. Super reliable, collaborative, and just genuinely great to work with from start to finish.

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.
