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!

Corporate Video Review from Jennifer Rosier
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!

They were such a fantastic team in every realm - communication, video quality, professionalism with our client, everything. I would absolutely hire them again. You can tell they really care about their work. Their team speaks English and Spanish, which was really helpful for my English-speaking team. I hope I have a chance to work with them in the future!

We recently partnered with Motion Source to produce a new day-in-the-life and sizzle reel video for our agency, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were fantastic collaborators—taking the time to truly understand our culture, our vision, and what makes us unique. The team was incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful throughout the process, and the final videos exceeded all expectations. Michelle, in particular, was an absolute joy to work with. I can’t recommend Motion Source highly enough!

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.

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!

My company tapped BRING to help tell a human interest story for a national client. Not only do they get the importance of the emotional connection through branding with video production, they brought extra tools and a great attitude and some subtle ideas to help make the impact needed. All while meeting the deadline and staying within my budget. The subjects being interviewed in the feature were so impressed that that sent a box of swag, and personal hand written thank you notes about the sensitivity and professionalism of the crew. A great win for my company, we will use them again!

Jackie and his team bring the perfect blend of professionalism and creative prowess to every project. They shot a spec for my Twitch channel, and it was one of the most comfortable, efficient, and, most of all, fun experiences I've ever had. The final product stunned my audience! If you can work with Aoki Studios, do it.

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.

Read there yelp reviews. We had a very successful event here, but once a problem about contract terms arose this team caused an uproar and trying to hold our equipment hostage to enforce an uncharge for storage. Very Criminal like and illegal. They ended up letting the doors open after a long day. But they are a mature group of immature business people.

The Remedy crew is an absolute pleasure to work with. My team has worked with them across numerous projects, and they've easily become our go-to company for video production.
Most recently, their team did an outstanding job capturing a large live event for us, filming the Keynote and nearly 30 additional stages in just two days. They're creative, sharp, attentive and able to seamlessly adapt to fast-paced environments. Their professionalism and attention to detail is top notch, and the final products continually exceed our expectations.
Can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Remedy!

My agency contracted Remedy to create a promotional video for one of the programs we offer. The quality of work was phenomenal! We could not be more pleased with the outcome so; we contracted them a second time. The Remedy staff listened to our vision with great detail and delivered exactly what we asked for. They were very professional, friendly, and hands on throughout the entire process. We are all very pleased with the finished products, and we will definitely use their services again in the future. THANK YOU Remedy for all of your dedication, creativity, and for bringing our vision to life!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Muneer Majeeb for our company’s corporate video, and the results were beyond outstanding. The video he created was not just visually stunning but also a powerful representation of our brand and values.
At the ADIPEC Exhibition 2024, the corporate video stood out as the highlight of our presentation and was pivotal in upholding our reputation amidst fierce competition. The attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism Muneer brought to the project were unparalleled.
We are incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication, which translated into a masterpiece that resonated with our audience. If you’re looking for someone who delivers excellence and elevates your brand, Muneer Majeeb is the person to call.
Highly recommended and looking forward to working with him again in the future!

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?
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.
