      Nicholas Barnes's Review Sourced from Google

      We used Six Degrees for our West Coast Windows corporate video, as well as creating some reels to be used for social media advertising. They came to our showroom and manufacturing plant to film the office, manufacturing and staff, as well as conduct interviews with 2 of the owners. They were very professional and easy to work with. Creating the videos and reels was more of a collaboration than just being handed a finished product, which helped us customize them to perfectly match our needs. Thanks again!

      John Corry's Review Sourced from Google

      lee and her team have consistently overdelivered on every one of the many video projects we have worked on together over the past few years. These have usually involved high-pressure, tight-turnaround situations with senior leaders involved. From the good questions asked during planning, to top-quality production quality, to the smart and creative editing, right through to final delivery, I have yet to have a problem that hasn't been readily solved by lee and her team. I used to be a video producer myself and have high expectations that are constantly being met and exceeded. You won't go wrong hiring Six Degrees.

      Heather Winger's Review Sourced from Google

      Despite presenting the Six Degrees team with a technical concept, they created an animated video that was fun to watch, informative, professional, and more than we had hoped for! Very prompt and courteous in all their communications, and with all timelines met with time to spare, I would absolutely recommend to any organization needing creative support. Thank you to the Six Degrees team!

      eCommerce Development Review from NADIA KOORTS

      Working with Simplr on Burquip's new website has been an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, their team showed exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. They took the time to understand our brand, our customers, and what we wanted to achieve and then elevated it far beyond our expectations. The new website is clean, modern, and user-friendly, with a smooth online ordering experience that our customers love. Simplr communicated clearly throughout the process, delivered on time, and made every step effortless for us. Were extremely happy with the final result and highly recommend Simplr to any business looking for a professional, reliable, and talented web design team. Thank you, Simplr, for taking Burquips online presence to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical video production services?

Video production services typically encompass the end-to-end video creation lifecycle, helping businesses move from concept to final, channel-ready assets. These services are divided into three key stages: 

  • Pre-production: Establishing objectives, audience, creative approach, scope, budget, and timeline. Deliverables include a script, storyboard, shot list, casting plan, location plan, and production schedule, along with a list of risks, permits, and approvals needed. 
  • Production: Filming the actual video, with the crew, cameras, lighting, audio, and direction of talent. This often includes capturing supporting footage (B-roll) and managing the set to stay on schedule. 
  • Post-production: Editing the footage, including color correction and grading, sound mixing, motion graphics, and visual effects (VFX), and adding captions or subtitles. It also involves creating multiple versions for different channels. 

Many corporate video production companies also cover the distribution and video marketing, including marketing strategy, platform publishing, search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, and social media. 

What type of video should your business invest in?

The type of video your business should invest in will depend on your goals and target audiences. A useful rule of thumb is to start with a hero video content and plan shorter cutdowns for target social channels. 

Here are the most common types of videos: 

  • Brand video or corporate video focuses on establishing brand positioning and trust. It may also help attract and convert candidates for employment. Examples include recruiting videos, team spotlights, and onboarding and training videos.   
  • Commercial video production aims to increase brand awareness, customer engagement, and conversion rates. These can come in the form of product demo videos, customer story or testimonials, TV commercials, and social media videos (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube). 
  • Product education and customer success videos help improve activation and retention. These include how-to videos, explainer videos, feature walkthroughs, onboarding series, and release announcements. 
  • Event videos extend the value of events and product launches through teasers, live streams, session recordings, and post-event recap videos for public relations (PR) and social media. 

Based on Wyzowl’s report, the most popular types of videos created by businesses are live action (51%), animated (23%), and screen record (19%). 

In terms of use cases, social media videos take the lead (69%), followed by explainer videos (68%), testimonial videos (57%), presentation videos (48%), and video ads (48%). 

How long should your video be?

The length of your video will depend on your target audience, goal, message, and distribution platforms. According to Wistia’s State of Video Report, these video lengths have the highest engagement: 

Goal Ideal Length Example
Brand awareness and social media engagement <1 minute  Promotional videos, product teasers, and brand videos
Educational videos  1-5 minutes Explainer videos and product demos
Training videos  30+ minutes Webinars and online courses 

Additionally, Wistia reports that 30-60-minute videos have the highest conversion rates at 17%, with the best placement for lead generation forms at the end of the video (60% conversion rate).  

For short-form videos (less than 1 minute), the best practice is to hook your viewers within the first 5-10 seconds.  

What is the difference between 4K and 1080p?

The primary difference between 4K and 1080p is the resolution (pixel dimension), which affects how much detail the video can display: 

  • 1080p (Full HD): 1920 x 1080 (2.1 million pixels)
  • 4K (UHD): 3840 x 2160 (8.3 million pixels) 

Here is a breakdown to guide your decision-making process: 

  1080p (Full HD) 4K (Ultra HD)
Advantages
  • Smaller file size, making it easier to share and store 
  • Almost all devices, platforms, and screen sizes support this format without sacrificing quality 
  • More affordable to produce 
  • Higher quality videos, especially for large displays 
  • Enables video cropping, stabilization, and reframing without affecting quality 
  • Future-proof technology, with 4K video becoming the increasing standard
Disadvantages
  • Less flexibility for cropping and zooming 
  • Less detail on large screens
  • Requires higher processing power, storage space, and internet bandwidth 
  • More expensive to produce as post-production can be more demanding
Best for 
  • Social media videos and web video ads 
  • Mobile and laptop screens
  • Shoots where you expect multiple cutdowns/crops
  • Product or brand videos meant for big screens (e.g., billboard displays) 
  • OTT and CTV ads and TV commercials 
  • Computer screens and smart TVs 

How can you measure the success of your video?

To measure the success of your video, consider your marketing goals, past performance, and industry benchmarks to identify its definitive business impact. Below are key video marketing benchmarks: 

Brand awareness and reach 

  • Impressions: 5,000-10,000 per video is a good baseline for organic social videos; however, paid campaigns will depend on your target market, industry competition, and type of ad. 
  • View count: 1,000-5,000 views per video for B2B and 10,000+ views for B2C and retail 
  • Play rate: 40%-60% for landing page videos 

Lead capture 

  • Average view duration: 50%-70% for 1-minute videos, and 40-60% for 5-minute videos 
  • Engagement rate: 4.4% for Instagram Reels, 3.8% for YouTube Shorts, and 1%-2% for LinkedIn videos 
  • Click-through rate: 2%-3% 
  • Video-driven conversion rates: 2%-5% for eCommerce, and 1%-3% for B2B
