Andrew Hardgrove Marketing Director at Hardgrove Fire Protection
5.0★
SEO Review from Andrew Hardgrove
Our company worked with Harris & Ward for many years before we decided to explore being acquired by a national fire protection company. Harris & Ward played an important role in helping us maximize the value of our business by positioning us as the go-to provider for our services in the local market. Our financials reflected that growth, but so did our presence on Google. We were even outranking the company looking to acquire us in our own market, which really impressed them during the acquisition process. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Harris & Ward team. They truly understand their industry, and the results they helped us achieve had a real impact on the value and visibility of our business. I would highly recommend them.

Harris & Ward really helped to turn around our Orthodontic practice marketing. They not only rebuilt our website but actually came to our offices to shoot the videos and stills used for content. In addition, they successfully grew our organic search, managed our GBP and provided strategies for digital ad campaigns. Todd and his team are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this group to any business!

Had an awesome experience with Melty Cone Video. The whole team was super easy to work with and really knew what they were doing. The studio setup was clean, organized, and honestly way more professional than I expected. They listened to what we wanted, gave great direction, and still let us have creative input without making anything stressful.The final video came out super clean, great lighting, great editing, and exactly the vibe we were going for. You can tell they actually care about the outcome and not just getting the job done fast.If you need a video production team that’s talented, friendly, and actually fun to work with, this is the place. Would 100% work with them again.

Working with Morphiaas was a fantastic experience! He was highly responsive and addressed all my questions throughout the website update process.

We hired Morphiaas to redesign thier website, aiming to include more digital media. The team also worked on the client branding material, including their logo, packaging and bronchures. Morphiaas exceeded the client expectations. Their work was so good that other builders and development contacted the client to ask for their contract. The team managed the engagement well.

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.

We highly recommend Blue Tie Production! Jake and Clayton were both super friendly and very enthusiastic to capture our wedding. A unique aspect of our wedding video is an interview they did with us individually before the wedding. It provides a personal touch to our wedding video, capturing the love and anticipation we were both feeling the morning of the wedding. Jake went above and beyond our expectations and even came to our rehearsal in order to map out some potential shots. He also had our wedding video back to us in 2 weeks which is unheard of in the wedding industry. Thank you Jake!

Roland filmed a corporate event for Centre for Team Excellence in central London. He did a fabulous job, filming the main event, interviewing participants and producing a seamless show reel. Very impressive and we will work with him again.

Ewen Murchison's Review Sourced from Google
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.

Bryan Fikes's Review Sourced from Google
★★★★★I’ve been in digital marketing for more than 27 years and have worked with thousands of businesses across hundreds of industries. It’s rare to find someone who truly understands how to combine creative storytelling, video engagement, and modern digital marketing into a system that drives real results.Ben Whisenhunt and the team at Whisenhunt Media are doing exactly that.What stands out most is Ben’s ability to create highly engaging video content that captures attention while still staying focused on business objectives. In a world where attention is the most valuable currency, that’s a skill very few agencies truly master. His understanding of social media, video marketing, branding, and audience engagement makes him an incredible asset for businesses looking to grow their visibility and connect with customers.Beyond the technical expertise, Ben operates with integrity, professionalism, and a genuine desire to help his clients succeed. He cares about the outcome, not just the deliverable.If you’re looking for a marketing partner who understands the power of video and knows how to turn attention into business growth, I highly recommend Whisenhunt Media.— Bryan

Working with Niels was an absolute delight! We (from Beyond Products) created two technical product video's for one of our clients, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. Niels and his team really have a great eye for detail, and the communication was super clear from start to finish, with rapid responses throughout. Would 10/10 recommend working with Pro Motion Film!

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.
