Third Dimension Studio Reviews & Testimonials
Startup Review from Igor Shcherbachenya
We contacted the Third-Dimension to perform WEB design for a new service, which includes a WEB application and a browser extension.The work was divided into several stages, which is very convenient and allows you to follow the order of work. At the first stage, the Third-Dimension collected information about the project and wishes regarding the design. At the second stage, the Third-Dimension assessed existing applications and provided references (sketches) of the design. After choosing a direction, the designer provided draft page designs and app designs for approval. Once agreed upon, the final design was implemented and several rounds of revisions were made.I would like to note the Third-Dimension ability not just to "do the job and forget", but to immerse itself in the area and problems that the project solves. In the process of work, in addition to the design, some functions that were proposed by the Third-Dimension team were also adjusted or added. All deadlines and wishes were respected.I definitely recommend the studio for cooperation and will work with the studio again. Very professional approach.

This place is amazing. We go there basically every Friday. We never go anywhere else for Thai food in the Valley. I visited Thailand many times and this place is just as good.My favorite dish Pad Thai is delicious. Best appetizer is Crab Rangoon. The Larb, Crab fried rice and the curries are amazing too. Big shout out to the waitress. She‘s so attentive and just a lovely human being. Great job to the whole team!

Dymic Digital Reviews & Testimonials
Trevor F.'s Review Sourced from Google
Jesse and Dymic are committed to creating a long-term partnership through open communication and listening to their customers. While some of the big boys make you commit a full year at a time, and then disappear, Dymic doesn't play those game, and relies on results and regular communication. They are experienced professionals who aren't afraid to try new things.
Matt Broughton's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with Dymic Digital to redesign and develop our school’s website, transitioning from a dated proprietary platform to a modern, open-source CMS. Their team was responsive, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. They managed the project well, offered helpful guidance aligned with our budget and timeline, and were flexible when we needed additional time. We appreciated their support and would happily recommend them.
K M's Review Sourced from Google
As a small business owner, I know how crucial it is to see a solid return on investment (ROI) when it comes to marketing. With so many companies out there promising results, it’s hard to know who to trust. After over a decade of running my family business, I've encountered countless marketing companies that make big claims but fail to deliver. However, Dymic Digital is a different story.I've been working with Dymic for almost two years, and their team has exceeded my expectations in every way. They don’t just talk the talk—they walk the walk. The phone isn’t just ringing, but the quality of leads I’m getting is exactly what I need to grow my business. Sean is nothing short of a wizard when it comes to SEO and strategy, and I’ve seen remarkable, steady growth since he took over. His professionalism and expertise truly shine in the results I can see every day.Aaron has been instrumental in ensuring my customer reviews and engagement are consistently high, and Cassandra’s behind the scenes work is equally invaluable. What I really appreciate about Dymic is that they treat my business like it matters, I'm not just another client or number to them. They're attentive, responsive, and never hard to reach when I need something.The results may not happen overnight, good marketing takes time. But trust me, Dymic delivers the kind of long-term, meaningful growth that every small business owner hopes for. I'm excited to see where our continued partnership takes us, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found a team that not only gets results but genuinely cares about my success. Jesse and his team with their combined efforts have been essential to my business. Thank you Dymic!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Right Video Production Company in the US
How do I choose the best video production company for my project?
Key factors to consider when choosing a company for a project in the United States include:
- Define clear goals: Know exactly what you want the video to achieve, whether that is brand awareness, product education, lead generation, or internal training. Clear objectives help agencies recommend the right format, length, messaging, and distribution approach, which reduces rework and improves results.
- Review portfolios: Assess overall video quality, storytelling, pacing, and production value. Look specifically for industry-relevant examples to ensure the agency understands complex offerings and long sales cycles.
- Check experience and expertise: Choose video production agencies with proven experience in your sector and with the specific video types you need, such as explainers, testimonials, or training content.
- Assess communication and collaboration: Strong communication ensures feedback is clearly understood and applied during each phase of production. Responsive agencies typically deliver smoother workflows, fewer revisions, and more predictable timelines.
- Budget transparency: Confirm costs for pre-production, production, and post-production. Transparent estimates help you compare vendors accurately and avoid unexpected expenses later.
- Ask for references: Client testimonials and references provide insight into reliability, professionalism, and delivery quality. Speaking with the video production company’s past clients can confirm whether the agency consistently meets expectations and deadlines.
What should I prepare before reaching out for project quotes?
Before contacting a video production company, prepare the following:
- Target audience and personas: Be specific about who the video is for, where it will be seen, and the problem it should address. B2B buyers often review 12 or more pieces of content before making a purchase, so messaging that speaks directly to their needs and pain points is critical.
- Budget range: Prepare a realistic budget range before reaching out to video production agencies. In the U.S., corporate video projects often cost $2,500 to $25,000 or more, depending on production complexity, animation, locations, and post-production needs.
- Timeline and deadlines: Share your desired launch date, campaign timing, or internal deadlines early in the conversation. Clear timelines allow agencies to plan resources effectively and avoid production bottlenecks.
- Reference examples: Collect examples of videos you like to communicate preferred style, pacing, tone, and level of polish.
- Brand assets and guidelines: Prepare logos, fonts, color palettes, messaging frameworks, and brand guidelines in advance.
What questions should businesses ask before hiring one of these companies?
Before hiring, businesses should ask targeted questions that clarify fit, process, and risk.
Relevant Background
- Have you worked with companies in our industry or with similar goals?
- Can you share recent client references from the US market?
Services and Processes
- What is your typical process from planning to delivery?
- How do you manage timelines and handle delays?
- How many revision rounds are included, and how is feedback handled?
Related to Your Project
- Who will be assigned to our project, and what are their roles?
- What is included in the quoted price, and what could cost extra?
How involved does my team need to be during the process?
Team involvement during video production is typically milestone-based rather than continuous:
- Pre-production requires the most input, including goal alignment and approvals.
- Production involvement is usually limited to interviews or on-site participation.
- Post-production focuses on reviewing edits and providing consolidated feedback.
Most B2B projects include 1 to 3 revision rounds.
Clear direction early in the process supports delivery within a typical 4 to 8 week timeline.
How do I measure whether a video production company delivered value?
To measure whether a company delivered value, evaluate performance against business goals rather than view counts alone.
Industry research shows that 74% of companies measure video ROI using engagement metrics, while 48% rely on conversion rates to assess success.
Key benchmarks include engagement and retention metrics such as average watch time, view-through rate, and completion rate.
You should also know that each platform counts views based on different criteria. For example, YouTube counts a view only if a user has spent at least 30 seconds watching a video.
On Instagram, a watcher should engage for at least 3 seconds, on Facebook just a second is enough, while LinkedIn needs 2 seconds. TikTok counts a video as watched if you’ve spent at least 1 second watching content that’s under 3 minutes long.
Conversion metrics like click-through rates, demo requests, and sign-ups indicate whether the video drove meaningful action.
Business outcomes should be measured by comparing lead quality, pipeline contribution, or revenue impact against total production cost.
Videos that can be reused across websites, paid ads, sales outreach, or internal training typically deliver higher long-term value.

- Social and short-form video production: Repurposing long-form footage into clips for LinkedIn, YouTube, and paid ads as short-form video continues to grow in B2B marketing. Another claim supported by the Wyzowl report says that 71% of marketers believe videos between 30 seconds and 2 minutes are most effective in communicating the brand message.
- Post-production and optimization: Editing, motion graphics, captions, and multi-platform formatting to maximize reach, reuse, and performance.
How much does it typically cost to hire these services in the United States?
The cost of hiring a video production agency in the US varies widely based on project scope, production quality, and deliverables. Timelines, number of shooting days, location/travel cost, size of the crew, experience, and resources needed all influence the final cost of a video production project.
- Hourly/agency rates: Many video production agencies charge around $100-$400 per hour for professional video services in the US, though actual totals depend on project scope.
- Typical project ranges: Most US video production projects fall roughly in the $1,500-$7,000 range for standard corporate videos (~60 seconds), depending on complexity and deliverables.
- Entry-level work: Simple corporate content (e.g., talking heads, basic social videos) can start around $2,500-$5,000 for straightforward shoots and editing.
- Mid to higher end: More polished brand, commercial, or multi-scene projects typically run $5,000 to $25,000+, especially if they include multiple locations, advanced graphics, actors, or special effects.
What additional costs should businesses expect during a project?
Additional costs in a video production project often include:
- Pre-production planning: Scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, and location scouting add time and cost before filming begins.
- Talent and crew fees: Actors, presenters, directors, and camera crews increase costs based on experience and shoot length.
- Equipment and location costs: Camera, lighting, audio rentals, travel, and filming permits can significantly raise budgets.
- Post-production work: Editing, motion graphics, sound design, and color grading are separate phases that add substantial cost, representing 30-40% of total production costs.
- Music and stock assets: Licensed music, stock footage, and voiceovers are often charged per use.
How long does a typical project take to complete?
A typical video production project in the US takes about 4 to 8 weeks from planning to final delivery.
Most professional video projects include initial concept and strategy, scripting and storyboarding in the first week or two, a few days of shooting, and then post-production editing and revisions, leading to an overall timeline of around 4-8 weeks.
More complex animation or multi-scene productions can extend toward 10-12 weeks or more.
