Video Production Review from Rachel Notowich
I have had the pleasure of working with Forge Apollo Studio on a variety of projects over the past five years, and they truly are the best. Their team consistently delivers exceptional content, communicates seamlessly throughout the process, and goes above and beyond expectations every time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier video production or creative content support.

Forge Apollo has been an incredible partner from the very beginning of our brand journey. From our very first meeting with Wendy Marcelli, we knew this was the right agency for us. Wendy took the time to understand our vision, our goals, and our business, and her passion and expertise gave us complete confidence that we were in the right hands.
From brand development and website design to stunning video production, the entire Forge Apollo team brought creativity, strategy, and professionalism to every step of the process.
As hospitality marketing experts, they truly understand our industry and what it takes to stand out in a competitive market. They created a website that not only captures our brand perfectly but is also delivering exceptional results. Our direct website bookings are now outperforming the OTAs, which is a huge win for our business and exactly what we were hoping to achieve.
The quality of their work, attention to detail, and commitment to our success have exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with our decision to partner with Forge Apollo.
If you're looking for a marketing agency that truly understands hospitality and can elevate your brand while delivering measurable results, we highly recommend Forge Apollo.

Highly recommend!!!

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.

We've worked with Empica for many years to deliver media training for our senior leaders, and the experience has consistently been excellent. The sessions are always well organised, engaging and tailored to each colleague's area of expertise and business focus.
Participants are equipped with a clear framework and practical tactics to handle both proactive media opportunities and potential crisis situations with confidence. The training includes realistic, well-thought-out scenarios and questions, making it highly relevant and actionable. As always, the trainers kept the energy high and the pace just right. Our teams not only gained valuable skills but genuinely enjoyed the experience.

As managing director of various travel companies and other businesses I thoroughly recommend Martin Powell and his team at Empica and am very grateful for the enormous help they gave myself and my team with our public relations for many years.
They began handling PR for my company when it was very small and continued to do so as our annual turnover rose to nearly 100 hundred million pounds.
My team and I were always been delighted with their proactive approach; the manner in which they regularly liaised with the management team, planning our future PR activities, as well as handling the media on the rare occasions when we needed urgent out of hours help.

I couldn't be happier with the visual marketing services Kevin provided for my business! From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity.
Kevin took the time to truly understand my brand and crafted marketing materials that present my business in a fantastic light. What impressed me most was his flexibility throughout the project – he was always willing to adjust and refine until everything was perfect.
His tactical approach to visual marketing really shows his expertise in the field. He didn't just make things look good; he created materials that actually work to attract and engage customers.
If you're looking for someone who is professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in making your business shine, I highly recommend Kevin's services. He's a pleasure to work with!

Kevin's friendly and professional demeanor quickly put our team members being interviewed at ease. His knowledge about video equipment, audio, and design shone through every point of the process. Kevin was always quick to respond and open to our feedback on each draft of the video. The quality of the video absolutely blew us away. We can't wait to share it on as many platforms as possible.

Guillermina Gonzalez's Review Sourced from Google
From Uruguay, and after several days of trying, as communication wasn't fluid, we managed to reserve tickets approximately a month in advance. Three hours before the show began, we were notified it was canceled, and of course, we couldn't find tickets for another tablao. The lack of seriousness of the place is a shame, since beyond taking away the opportunity to enjoy the art of flamenco, which I respect so much, they also lost the opportunity to spread it, because the rest of the people who accompanied me haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this wonderful art form until now. A lack of respect in every sense. A complete disappointment for this place.

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.

Their attention to detail is outstanding, and we are always happy with the final product. Highly recommend!

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!

We would highly recommend them to any business looking for high-quality videography and photography services.

The Remedy crew is an absolute pleasure to work with. My team has worked with them across numerous projects, and they've easily become our go-to company for video production.
Most recently, their team did an outstanding job capturing a large live event for us, filming the Keynote and nearly 30 additional stages in just two days. They're creative, sharp, attentive and able to seamlessly adapt to fast-paced environments. Their professionalism and attention to detail is top notch, and the final products continually exceed our expectations.
Can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Remedy!

My agency contracted Remedy to create a promotional video for one of the programs we offer. The quality of work was phenomenal! We could not be more pleased with the outcome so; we contracted them a second time. The Remedy staff listened to our vision with great detail and delivered exactly what we asked for. They were very professional, friendly, and hands on throughout the entire process. We are all very pleased with the finished products, and we will definitely use their services again in the future. THANK YOU Remedy for all of your dedication, creativity, and for bringing our vision to life!

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.
