      I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

      I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

      In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

      Voiceover Review from Patrick Hoy

      I have been a professional TV Presenter for over a decade, but was now looking at expanding the work I do to include Voiceover work. As such, I needed a highly professional & compelling set of Voiceover showreels produced for me to use as a calling card to find Agent representation in this area...as well as to share with Production companies who could potentially hire me for voiceover work. I worked with Synima to lay down 10 tracks at one of their studios. Upon completion of the actual recording, I then immediately met with the assigned team to discuss the additional audio enhancements I wanted them to include in the finished product. While I definitely had specific ideas and instructions for what enhancements I believed I wanted in the deliverables, I felt confident that the team I was working with fully understood my vision...AND that they themselves were extremely creative, and that they would definitely be able to add additional value to the vision I had. My instinct was absolutely correct about this, and the final two showreels that they delivered to me exceeded my expectations! I have shared the work they did for me with many others, and they too have been as impressed with the work. I was very satisfied with the entire process from start to finish - and I honestly look forward to working with Synima again in the future.

      Digital Marketing Review from Piers Henriques PhD

      We worked with Synima on a celebrity-led feature series exploring the issues of alcohol and the family. Our national charity was looking for a partner for our ambassador to film nine documentary quality one-minute films, each telling a personal story and ending on a call to action. From the outset and on first meeting, Synima were incredible partners for the project. They understood the brief as a direct appeal, and ran with the strength of initial pitch. The creative team then had the skills and expertise to hugely enhance the original vision and carry the process with calm and enthusiastic professionalism . The final product was of an outstanding quality, delivered on time and any wrinkles quickly ironed out. The campaign is still ongoing but has generated well over one and a half million *organic* views. Fantastic conversions in terms of service awareness and CTA sign ups. Our celebrity influencer was delighted with the material as overall content and is keen to come back for more. Which we definitely will in the new year.

They bring equal parts expertise and heart — the kind of team you genuinely want in your corner again and again.

      Very solid service. They did need 1 extra week to complete everything on time, but the result was worth it. They have been very patient and supportive when I got a bit too nervous and personal. In the end, without them, we would have never reached our goal. I recognize your support and time. Thank you for staying with me.

      We worked with Mateo and the team at Takt (formerly Massive) on a very special project—our 75th anniversary—and couldn’t have asked for a better partner. The team invested real time and care in understanding our story, our people, and the complexity of our brand. The result was a stunning anniversary logo and a thoughtful, engaging video that brought our past and future together in a meaningful way. As they launch Takt, it’s great to see that the same passionate, curious, and creative team is still there—working hard behind the scenes to help organizations understand who they are and how best to tell their stories.

      We worked with Takt Studios on two shoots early in our brand launch to create both photo and video content for our website and marketing campaigns, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.From an organizational standpoint, the shoots were seamless and highly professional. The team came prepared, kept everything on schedule, and made the entire process feel efficient and well thought out. Recording video content was surprisingly easy thanks to the clear prompts and guidance provided, which made a big difference and helped us feel confident on camera.The final content was visually beautiful and, most importantly, completely aligned with the look, feel, and tone we were hoping to establish for our brand. The results exceeded our expectations and gave us a strong foundation for our marketing right out of the gate.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Takt Studios to any brand looking for high-quality, strategic photo and video content.

Frequently Asked Questions About Video Production Companies in New York

What are the red flags when evaluating video production companies in New York?

The clearest red flag is a reel full of impressive work that has nothing to do with your project type, budget, or distribution channel.  

Video production companies in New York range from boutique studios with one specialty to full-service shops that'll take any brief, and the ones who overpromise are rarely the ones who overdeliver. 

Watch for these specifically: 

  • No case studies with measurable outcomes, only aesthetic work 
  • Vague answers about who on the team will be on your project 
  • No questions asked about your distribution channel, target audience, or brief before pitching 
  • Pressure to sign before seeing a detailed production timeline 
  • Portfolio full of one format (e.g., brand films) when you need another (e.g., product demos) 

If they can't tell you what went wrong on a past project and how they handled it, that's a red flag too. 

What do New York video production companies charge that most buyers don't expect?

The highest hidden costs are revisions, music licensing, talent fees, and location permits, none of which are typically included in a quoted rate.

The most common surprises: 

  • Revisions: Many contracts include one round; additional cuts are billed separately 
  • Music licensing: Stock tracks are cheap, but cleared commercial music can add thousands 
  • Talent fees: Actors, voiceover artists, and on-screen talent are usually quoted separately 
  • Location permits: Shooting on NYC streets or in certain venues requires permits that cost real money and take time to secure 
  • Color grading and sound mix: Sometimes bundled, sometimes not 

Always ask for an itemized quote, not a package price, and clarify what revision rounds are included before signing. 

How do I know if a video production agency's reel actually applies to my project?

A reel only applies to your project if it was made at a comparable budget, for a similar distribution goal, and by the same people who would work on your account.  

Ask three things before you let a reel impress you: 

  1. What was the budget for that project? If their best work was done at 5x your budget, the comparison is meaningless. 
  2. What was the distribution goal? Brand films, TV commercials, and Instagram Reels are different crafts. 
  3. Who directed and edited it, and will those people work on your project? Senior talent builds the reel; junior talent often executes the actual work. 

If they can't answer all three clearly, the reel is marketing, not a reference point. 

What's a realistic timeline for a video production project, and what causes delays?

A standard commercial or brand video takes up to 8 weeks from brief to final delivery, and the most common cause of delays is slow client feedback, not the production company. That timeline covers pre-production, the shoot, and post-production: editing, color, sound, and revisions. 

What causes delays in video production

  • Client feedback cycles: Slow internal approvals kill timelines 
  • Location permits: NYC permitting can add 1 to 2 weeks if not started early 
  • Talent availability: Specific casting requests narrow your scheduling window fast 
  • Scope changes mid-production: Adding a second deliverable or changing the concept after the shoot is expensive and slow 

What does a bad video production engagement look like, and how do I avoid it?

A bad engagement ends with a video that looks fine but doesn't work because the brief was misaligned from the start, and revision rounds were used to fix strategic problems instead of creative ones.  

The pattern is consistent: no structured pre-production process, no agreement on success metrics before the shoot, and a final cut that arrives after the budget is spent, with no room to course-correct. 

To avoid it, get everything in writing before production starts: the audience, the goal, the call to action, the platform, and what approved looks like.  

If a video production agency isn't asking those questions in the briefing stage, they're optimizing for a good-looking video, not an effective one. 

How much of my time will a video production agency actually need once the project starts?

Expect to spend 4–6 hours in pre-production approvals, half a day to a full day on set, and 1–2 async revision rounds in post. The agencies that produce the best work ask the most questions. If you're expecting a “hand it off and receive a video” process, you'll be disappointed, and the video will reflect your unavailability. 

A rough breakdown: 

  • Pre-production: 2 to 4 hours of structured input (brief, script feedback, approvals) 
  • Shoot day: Half day to full day, depending on complexity 
  • Post-production: 1 or 2 revision rounds, usually async 

What should the first two weeks with a new video production company actually look like?

The first two weeks should be entirely pre-production: brief alignment, scripting, storyboarding, location scouting, and casting, with no cameras until that foundation is locked. If a NY video production company moves to shoot prep before the brief is fully agreed, slow them down. 

Week one should cover a detailed creative brief, audience and platform alignment, initial script or concept draft, and a production timeline with named milestones.  

Week two should move into storyboarding, location scouting if needed, and casting. You should come out of week two knowing exactly what will be filmed, where, with whom, and what the final deliverables look like. 

What does a fair contract with a video production company look like, and what terms should I push back on?

A fair contract specifies deliverables, caps the number of revision rounds, and clearly states who owns the raw footage after delivery. Just “a video” is not a deliverable; the agency should name format, length, aspect ratios, and platform. 

One term buyers often miss is the music licensing scope. A license for one platform doesn't cover all platforms; get that clarified before signing. 

Push back on: 

  • Unlimited usage fees: Some video production agencies charge extra for paid media use; clarify upfront 
  • IP retention clauses: Raw footage ownership matters if you want to repurpose it later 
  • Kill fees without caps: You should be able to cancel with a fair fee, not lose the full project cost 
  • Vague delivery timelines: "Approximately 6 weeks" is not a timeline 

How do I shortlist NY video production companies without watching 40 reels?

Filter by format match, industry experience, and budget range before you open a single reel. Then read case studies, check client names, and confirm who actually produced the work. If there are no case studies, skip them regardless of how good the reel looks. 

Once you've passed those gates: 

  • Look for client names in a category similar to yours 
  • Check whether the agency or an outside director produced the credited work 
  • Only then watch the reel, not for the most impressive video, but for evidence they've solved a problem like yours
