Video Production Services

Brand Films and Campaign Video,
Directed for Marketing Teams

I direct, film and edit brand films, testimonials, recruiting pieces and executive interviews, from corporate video production in St. Louis to on-site shoots at offices across the US. Scripting, shot planning, lighting, audio, edit and color grading are all mine, and larger productions can add a producer, assistant or licensed drone pilot working under my direction.

WashU Medicine, brand film. Directed, filmed, and edited by Henry David.

Production libraries for Washington University School of Medicine, the Zipfel Lab, Belden and the MOCM Festival.

Two Libraries, One Day

Selected film frames can extend your image library

Selected frames from 4K footage can support web and social use. Movement, shutter speed, focus and the intended output determine which frames work. We agree the frame selections and delivery scope in the proposal, and plan separately photographed stills when you need higher resolution or a different look.

The images below are frames lifted straight out of a dermatology practice's B-roll. Nobody booked a separate photo session to get them.

Latest film

Belden, filmed on the same day as the stills

Forty seconds of Belden's Customer Innovation Gateway in St. Louis, shot in the same production day as its photography library. The frames under the film come straight from the footage.

Why Video

Audiences want to feel why your work matters as well as know what you do

Video carries what a still cannot: the tone of voice, the pause before an answer, the moment the founder stops reciting and starts telling the story.

I build every production around that principle, so the result is a piece of video your audience will trust because it feels like the person on the other side of the camera, and not a corporate sizzle reel that looks like every other one.

How a Project Runs

01

Scope the assignment

What the piece has to do, and for whom.

02

Decide what moves it

A site relaunch, a campaign that has to work across several channels, a rebrand library: we pick the one that does the most for your objective.

03

Plan it with you

Script, shot plan, locations, schedule, in your calendar.

04

Make and deliver it

Filming, audio, lighting, edit, color, delivery.

What you're paying for

The fee covers scoping the assignment, planning the day, directing it, editing it, and delivering it on the timeline we agreed. One person is accountable for all of it and cares whether it worked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our video production services.

What types of corporate video do you produce?▼
We produce brand films, testimonial videos, recruiting and culture videos, executive interviews, thought leadership content, and social media video. Henry directs, films, and edits every project personally, from scripting to final delivery.
How long does a typical video project take?▼
The schedule is built backward from your launch or campaign date and written into the proposal, covering planning, the shoot day, editing, revisions, and final file delivery. Edits turn around fast, and rush timelines are available when the date is fixed.
Do you handle scripting and creative direction?▼
Yes. We guide the creative process from start to finish, including messaging strategy, scripting, interview question development, shot planning, and art direction on set. You stay involved at every decision point without having to manage production details.
Can you shoot at our office?▼
Absolutely. We produce video on-site at your office, facility, or any location nationwide. We bring all equipment, including cameras, lighting, audio, and backdrops, and handle the logistics so your team can focus on their day.
What is the typical investment for corporate video?▼
Video projects vary based on scope, number of shoot days, and deliverables. We provide detailed proposals after a discovery call so you know exactly what to expect. Monthly retainer packages are also available for organizations with ongoing content needs.
What about people on camera who are not comfortable?▼
Most people are not. Part of our job is directing and coaching so the person on camera ends up sounding like themselves on their best day. We do trial takes, ask warm-up questions, and edit out the false starts. By the end, most interviewees say it was easier than they expected.
Do you offer combined photography and video packages?▼
Yes, and it's one of our biggest advantages. Combining photography and video in a single visit means consistent visual quality across all your content, simpler logistics for your team, and better overall value than hiring separate vendors.
