Studio Lumen Reviews & Testimonials
Chris Charlton's Review Sourced from Google
Used Studio Lumen for a series of headshots. They set up in our office and did a great job. Their team was interacting with staff at a variety of levels including executives. They were able to keep things moving efficiently and I genuinely think the team had fun going through the process. The photos themselves are excellent and captured a fresh look. I find the corporate headshot look can get stale and a bit cliche. Appreciate their creativity and quality of work. From a personal perspective I highly recommend.
Zoe Erickson's Review Sourced from Google
We have worked with Studio Lumen numerous times over the past few years, and they have consistently delivered high-quality, well-produced videos for us. The entire team is a pleasure to work with, even after long hours—accommodating, professional, and flexible when it comes to making changes on the fly. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and we are always happy with the final product. Highly recommend!
Olivia McMurray's Review Sourced from Google
I had an excellent experience getting headshots done in-studio! The email communication every step of the way was clear and helpful, and the proof selection site was super easy to use. On the shoot day Jean-Marc was very personable and engaging which made it easy to get good natural expressions. He was also very efficient as I had 4 different shirt/uniform variations I wanted to try, and he also tried a different lighting setup at the end which resulted in one of my favorite photos from the day. Easy 5-star rating!

Chantale Benoit's Review Sourced from Google
Sergey was fantastic to work with. He was efficient and professional when setting his equipment in our office. For myself being a novice in front of the camera, Sergey was able to guide me and provide helpful tips to make the experience smooth and as natural as possible. The task to create a good video was overwhelming for me, but no longer, I now know who to call for future projects! Thank you for your assistance with this.
Adrian Ward's Review Sourced from Google
We approached New West Video for a short turnaround job at the G7 Canada Brain Economy Summit in Calgary and were delighted with the results.Sergey linked in with my colleague who was presenting at the event, along with other members of his panel, and was able to create two great content pieces for our social channels; one reviewing our presentation as a news package with b-roll, and the other looking at the event from the 'day in the life' perspective of my colleague, with some great creativity and thought going into the shots he selected.Despite us each working to an eight-hour time difference on completely different continents, communication with Sergey was swift and efficient and we'd be delighted to work with New West Video again next time we have a major event in the region.
Barbara Grant's Review Sourced from Google
Sergey was an absolute pleasure to work with on a video I recently produced.The subject is personal and quite stressful and he made me feel at ease throughout the shoot. I highly recommend him and his company New West Video.

I had an outstanding experience with Fisheye. Their prompt work and professionalism truly exceeded my expectations. Krishna, the head of the company, was exceptional in his approach. His attention to detail and dedication to delivering high-quality results were evident throughout the entire process. The team was incredibly responsive, and the final video was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend Fisheye for anyone seeking top-notch video production services in India. Keep up the fantastic work!
Arya Soman's Review Sourced from Google
A filmmaker owns and heads this corporate video production company, which struck a positive chord with me instantly. Krishna’s vast experience working with some of the top companies is a significant value addition for this firm. My experience in choosing this team was thorough: I checked their website, viewed some of their videos, spoke with Krishna, understood their capabilities, found their clientele impressive, and considered their costs reasonable. Apart from their in-depth knowledge in filmmaking, Fish Eye Creations are well-disciplined, focused, and passionate. Thank you.
Veena Sarangadharan's Review Sourced from Google
I must say that it was a pleasure working with Fish Eye Creations in Chennai on a corporate video production project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience and the final product. RS Krishna certainly knows the art of making corporate videos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of filmmaking.One of the standout qualities is their ability to grasp the core objectives of the project. Equally impressive is their technical proficiency.Communication with them was smooth and efficient throughout the process. They were responsive to our feedback and made adjustments promptly, ensuring that the final product met our expectations. Their professionalism and dedication made the entire collaboration enjoyable and stress-free.Overall, I highly recommend Fish Eye Creations for any corporate video production needs. They have a unique ability to combine technical skills with creativity, resulting in a video that not only looks fantastic but also effectively communicates the intended message. It was a pleasure working with them, and I look forward to future collaborations.

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.
