Right from the very beginning, Rich and his team member, Pete made me feel comfortable and confident. They were patient and accommodating while filming and doing photo shoots. Knowing that I am deaf, Rich learned a few signs before meeting me to help guide me in the film making process and the photo shoot. I was very impressed and felt this was helpful especially to communicate when to start during the filming and photo shoots. I had amazing results. I highly recommend Hawke Filmmaki

Karen Glass's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of working with Richard Hawke and his team in the production of a video for one of our charitable events. As the Director of Marketing & Communications for a non-profit, our budget for videos is limited; however, we want to have the best quality product for the dollars we have. Working with Hawke Commercial Filmmaking was wonderful because they set expectations upfront about what could be achieved within our budget parameters, but the experience of working with the team and the end product surpassed those expectations. Richard and his team were great to work with, true partnership and collaborative environment, and the final video was a hit at our event! I would gladly work with Hawke again in the future and highly recommend to anyone.

Despite this, Bridges Film Company went above and beyond by delivering the lens directly to the fashion show venue, saving me valuable time and ensuring that I had the equipment I needed for the event.The entire rental process was streamlined, from the initial inquiry to the delivery of the lens. The lens itself was in excellent condition and performed flawlessly, allowing me to capture stunning shots at the fashion show.I am incredibly grateful for Bridges Film Company's outstanding customer service and professionalism. Thanks to their flexibility and dedication, my experience was hassle-free and successful. I will definitely be renting from them again in the future. Highly recommended!

tl;dr - professional + personal = praiseworthyOur parish is part of the Diocese of Joliet restructuring plan. We were hosting a listening session where a diocesan representative would come to share information about the plan for our feedback. We wanted to livestream the session for those who couldn't attend as well as archive it to our website, so we looked for a company experienced in video productionSearching around, I found Brad at BP Video. I chose him because he was local as well as having experience producing video at a local Christian church. We had our initial meeting to walk-through and explain what we hoped to achieve, especially as this was a 1st time event for both of us. He has many ideas as though would be a challenging shoot - the speaker would be nearly fifty feet away and we'd have to shoot while remaining out of the view of the participants. Brad and his team was able to accomplish this for a very reasonable costI can't recommend Brad and his team at BP Video highly enough - in addition to their skills, they are faith-filled men. To me, this adds immeasurable value to the work they do

I have never known a more hardworking bunch of people. When working with the project manager all questions were cheerfully answered. They burned the midnight oil to get me what I wanted. The producers know their stuff. Bring your creative. They will make it happen.

Sagar Kalra's Review Sourced from Google
We had taken their services for the COP28. For the first time ever, we were planning on doing a news broadcast. It was seamless. As the project co-ordinator, I just had to ensure that each news segment reporter was ready with their script and available at the time of recording. Chris took the rest out of my plate. He worked with our photographers/Videographers to get them on the same page and then trained a few too actually. Then when it came to editing and stitching it together. I never looked into it and the next time I see is our episodes are going live daily on LinkedIn. It was a breeze working with them. There are on top of everything and have a certain standard so didn't have an issue with the output either. He coached me through how to execute it - the manpower needed, equipment, procedure. Really glad he was in my corner

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.

Rudy Calasin's Review Sourced from Google
Jim from Blue Ocean Productions recently helped my church with livestream issues that we've been having over the past year. The problem involved the video lagging significantly behind the audio with the lag getting progressively worse throughout the duration of the stream. Jim was brought in to diagnose the issue, and after sending him some information about our set-up, computer specs, etc., he was able to spend a couple of hours with me and another church elder testing various settings in the streaming software, OBS, as well as other settings for the computer, mixer and wireless microphone.Ultimately, we determined that we'll need a more powerful PC, but Jim was able to help us adjust certain settings so that we can have a stable video stream with synced audio. The ultimate test will be this Sunday when we stream our church service for 60+ minutes, but we're optimistic that the help Jim provided will lead to success. Jim was knowledgeable, kind and patient throughout this process, and I would recommend his company to anyone looking for some tech support.

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.
