Video Production Review from Tomas Meskauskas
BluBlue Studios was a pleasure to work with. They know what they are doing and the process of creating an explainer video for our application was a breeze. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for speedy, creative and quality video production.

Video Production Review from Alexandra Bacoyannis
I recommend BluBlu without any hesitation! We assigned them to work on a series of animated videos with educational stories and songs for children aged 3-5 y.o. but also on the main character artwork creation used on the series books, as copy artists and they delivered brilliantly in quality, quantity and cost, always on time. They are always available and happy to discuss and look for solutions on any issue that may occur. I am looking forward to our next project together,

Audio Production Review from Stanton Jacobs
I think I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff for, at least, 13 years. This work was in conjunction with Eaglevision’s coordination and production of some of the most extravagant and well orchestrated global conventions that Hilton Worldwide arranged for its hotel owners, operators and managers. Jeff and his team of professionals allowed us to create these memorable conventions providing the sound, lighting and staging. His expertise and creativity is the best I have ever encountered and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again on future projects.

Creativity is a powerful skill that builds a complete picture, message and delivery. Many design organizations can provide creative elements to address parts of the whole puzzle, but Jeff Eagle is one of a very few that is able to build the complete picture. From simple thematic requests, Jeff and his team can build a finished product that includes powerful and compelling elements and structure that deliver a powerful impact.

The times that we worked together were the most exciting and memorable times that I have spent on events and promotion in my entire career. Jeff and his team have the creative genius to come up with mind stopping and mind changing concepts, but they also deliver the ideas with the flawless execution. Along the way, it is exhilarating and just plain fun.

James and Synchronous Pictures are producing a documentary on Rise Up Industries, a San Diego nonprofit with a mission to minimize gang involvement. I've worked on Rise Up's development team for the past four years. After seeing the 5-minute trailer, I'm amazed at how James has captured the heart of our mission with such clarity and beauty.

The team at 522 productions and specifically Cara as she was my point person, were phenomenal in making the steps to filming seamless and given my baby was part of it, that was no easy task. They went above and beyond with clear instructions and set up a calm and relaxing environment that could otherwise be expected to feel overwhelming. I wish I could give the team more than 5 stars.

Thanks to the Pixelz team we carried out the impossible. A small, sharp but impactful project. Made all the better by Pat's ability to understand the essence of the project quickly and add his storytelling, logistics and technical talent and experience.
Whether it was filming our ad, producing live multi-camera events or live-casting online, Pat's network could do it, do it well, do it fast, and do it calmly with smiles on their faces.

I could not be anymore happier with the results given. The communication from the start sold me with making the process very easy and fast. From seeing the production on the website to getting our production back I am very pleased with the work.
Jon, who filmed the event for us was top notch. I coordinated the event from California while the sales reps in the area hosted the event. Jon and I took calls so he could make sure het got everything we needed for this event to be filmed and ensure to ask questions so nothing was missed. The sales reps said Jon made the process very seamless and how he made everyone feel comfortable.
From making the process easier being in another state, to making the event successful and capturing all moments, I definitely recommend.

We have just launched a fresh new version of our program website and could not be happier with the web design + development by the team at Massive. From start to finish, Lucy our project manager was there to link us to the work of the rest of her team. Our questions were addressed in a timely manner and the folks at Massive also extended internal deadlines to meet our needs. We really felt heard, and appreciated the time the team took to learn about us and our work, they made it very safe for us to “hand over the keys”. The whole design process was a great experience for our team and together we built a site that exceeded our expectations.

Merit Productions is truly top notch. I've used them for severl professional projects over the years as well as a personal photo shoot for my daughter with Scott.
Professionally, they deliver outstanding work and always on time. While I am likely not their biggest client based on their online portfolio (like whoa! They do some big name business.), they always make me feel like we are.
The studio sessions with Scott are also really amazing and he has always made my daughter feel very comfortable. He has done professional headshots for me as well which turned out better than expected.
All around, I would not every hesitate to use them for our future projects.

But the real magic of working with Merit happens during the development process. From initial idea to final deliverable, the Merit team brings a high level of creativity, detail-oriented problem solving, and professional talent to ensure you receive what you are looking for, often exceeding expectations. In addition to being delightfully fun to work with, they ask all the right questions to ensure casting is focused, wardrobes are spot on, and all of the tiny details are locked in. I've gone to the team with both loose ideas and rigid specifications, and they always knock it out of the park.

I've worked with Merit for over a decade and there's a reason for that. Hands down the best crew in the Austin area. They are professional, efficient, always fun to work with. The end result of what I'm looking for always exceeds my expectation. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend them!

Worst waste of money going .
These people are scamming businesses.
And they took over 2000 US dollars and nothing to clean up my web page in Google
Google should be monitoring these scammers better but their too busy double dipping to care about their customers

Frank is a master at his craft. He is a brilliant videographer, is an absolute joy to work with, has top equipment and is devoted to his art
He is super level headed, was able to walk through the story we needed to tell our customers. (We are in the performing arts business, so our customers are very savvy and are sophistocated consumers!) He went above and beyond in all aspects of the work. His contract is simple and straightforward and covers it all.
We've worked with a bunch of videographers over time and our team agrees that Frank is our go to guy from now on.
Do yourself a favor and reah out to him today.

I've worked with Nash Pictures twice now, while working for 2 different companies - one in biotech and the other in surety. They are easy to work with, always professional, and highly skilled. The communication is thorough. Both projects ended on time, on budget, and with a beautiful video that went beyond my expectations. I will work with them again when the opportunity comes again.

Nash Pictures is an incredible team and I would highly recommend hiring them for your next production. They have filmed multiple projects for us, from a large multi-speaker event and cocktail reception to a direct-to-camera interview and I have loved working with them. They are detail-oriented and go above and beyond to make sure the final video looks and sounds perfect. They are also creative problem-solvers and will help you resolve any issue in a quick, cost-effective way. I can't wait to work with them again!

We were in need of a professionally produced brand story video that would capture the real value we deliver to startup tech founders and executive leadership. We are an SMB and Nash Pictures was able to provide us with a fantastic solution that was within our budget. The quality was certainly top-tier and the video had a big impact in strengthening the position of our company in the market and driving highly qualified business critical to our growth. I will certainly use them again for my company and also refer to my clients. They are the best I've worked with and I have a 20-year career working with top agencies for television advertising production.

I approached McGill Productions on behalf of a client who needed a local video production company to create scroll-stopping, engaging videos to support their social media advertising.
The team were professional from start to finish and clearly knew exactly what was needed to produce high-quality content. The final videos were exactly what we were hoping for, and we were more than happy with the end result.
The videos have helped my client elevate their branding, look more professional, and create a stronger first impression online. I’d happily recommend McGill Productions to any business looking for polished, effective video content.

Jenny and the team at After Dark Animate are the pinnacle of animated projects. They spend the time, effort and energy to collaborate on animated projects. Their direction and input and insight throughout the process have proved invaluable to getting to a level of excellence I couldn't have achieved on my own. Also, their unique flair is expressed in every shot, every frame feels like a painting. Thanks Jenny et. al. and I'll see you on the next one.

I’m a huge fan of Panoptic Media. I worked with Jim on a video about the youth environmental movement that turned out so good that it became an MTV special. Jim co-produced, shot, and cut the video. He’s an awesome collaborator and his work is excellent. I highly recommend him and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

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.
