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!

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!

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.

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.

Scott and the team at Merit Productions are top notch. I've worked on numerous video and photography projects with them, and every single time have received an excellent final product. 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.

As the Marketing Manager at BZEN Bikes, I have the pleasure of working closely with this media agency on a variety of international campaigns, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the partnership.
Their strategic approach across multiple channels—including social media, content marketing, paid media, and PR—has significantly contributed to the growth and visibility of BZEN Bikes in key European markets. What stands out most is their seamless project management, attention to detail, and ability to adapt quickly in a fast-moving, international environment.
Their team consistently brings creative ideas to the table while staying focused on performance and results. The team is proactive, collaborative, and always ready with creative, data-driven solutions. Thanks to their support, we’ve not only expanded our reach but also strengthened our brand positioning across borders.

Jacob was a such a good choice for our family photos. We have a 1.5 year old and, well that isn’t always the easiest to work with! Jacob was patient and just all around fantastic throughout the whole hour; not one did he make us feel rushed and he even “meowed” along with us as we tried to get our toddler to look at the camera. 😆 the pictures came a couple weeks later and we were not disappointed, getting so many shots in both color and black and white. We will certainly be using him again!

We were looking for a company to do a promo video for our band, and after looking at five or six different options, we choose 47 Filmworks. We decided to go with them based on their glowing reviews, but it became clear quite soon that we had made the right choice.
Jacob was extremely easy to work with, and it felt as though he really understood exactly what we wanted, and shared the same passion that we did for the type of video we needed. It was easy running different ideas off him, and to hear any suggestions that he may have had. For the actual editing, we had decided to be completely hands off, and just let him and his team use their creativity and see what they came up with, and we were certainly not disappointed! This company is incredibly good because your vision becomes their vision, and they make sure that everything is covered, and you are happy at the end. Thanks again Jacob, Adam, & the 47 Filmworks clan for making us a great promo video!

Jorge carlos Tun Quen's Review Sourced from Google
We had several challenges at our clinic in Mexico City. We approached Merkategia because we needed help with a customized digital strategy. From the beginning, they understood what we were looking for and offered us concrete ideas. We've noticed clear improvements and are now better at managing more areas of the business that we previously didn't communicate about. Working with them has been practical and helpful.

When we started as a startup in Chihuahua, we needed to move forward without disrupting our sales and marketing operations. We found in Merkategia precise advice, focused on what was feasible to implement. They offered no false expectations, only effective solutions and lasting success.

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

Excellent service and great disposition. Alonso is an excellent, helpful, and attentive person. I really like his work because he knows how to be very professional. We've been working with him for a couple of years now, both for that reason and because he's very good at what he does. His drone shots are excellent, plus they are very clean, subtle, and elegant, which denotes the good eye for detail in his work. Highly recommending it, you won't regret it! Thank you so much, Alonso, for all your support :D

Incredible cinematography, perfect pacing, a sense of humor and an eye for the small details that stick in a viewers mind well after the fact. I'm now an official fan of CB43Media!

I met Chris over 6 years ago while on tour with a major artist & I needed a second shooter. He absolutely crushed it, there’s not many creative individuals who are as relentless and trustworthy like Chris. Since then he’s helped us out with countless projects & continues to blow us away every single time. He has our co-sign tenfold 🙏

Ive worked with Chris before for a brand photoshoot and he’s honestly a blast to work with. He knows what he's doing and is great at keeping the energy alive with those he’s photographing.
If you’re looking for top notch quality and an unmatched atmosphere for your shoots be it video or picture then CB is the guy for you. Our pictures turned out amazing and we got them very quickly as well.

Giulietta Consentino (Juliet)'s Review Sourced from Google
Alchemist Production isn’t just a name, it’s exactly what they do. They take an idea, a half-formed vision, and turn it into something refined, something cinematic. They’re based in Bangkok but have experience everywhere, and what makes them stand out is how naturally they move between worlds. They understand the industry at every level, big and small, local and global. More importantly, they understand people.
Their attention to detail is razor-sharp, but never in a way that slows things down. They don’t just follow a brief, they get it. They ask the right questions, make the right calls, and somehow make the impossible feel effortless. It’s rare to find that level of expertise without ego, that level of precision without losing the human touch.
And then there’s K. Fon. She’s not just a producer, she’s the person who makes things happen. The one you want in the room when things get complicated. She sees angles no one else does, smooths out the chaos, and makes it all look easy. I have nothing but admiration for the way she works.
You won’t regret choosing Alchemist Production. If anything, you’ll wish you had found them sooner.

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.
