Video
It's our bread & butter.
Actually, want to give it a go solo?
Video can be expensive and time consuming.
Here are our client processes if you want to go for it!
Prefer to work alongside a thought partner + producer?
Totally get it.
That's why we're here.
Your options are ...
1
Strategy Development
We begin at the end with what you're really after. To know where to publish, how often, how long videos should last, what you're going to say and how you're going to say it, we need to establish where you're headed.
​
Video inserts more 'human' into the written work you're known for. It moves audiences from the head (knowledge) to the heart (feeling), and that's what builds trust.
This often looks like excavating your story and studying your audience with a fine-tooth comb. By the time that blinking red light turns on (regardless of whether or not we're behind the camera), you'll be ready.

Strategy + Remote Production
After we strategize (see above), two choices: script or interview?
Each have their strengths. If we script, we'll synthesize ideas you've relayed in books, articles, etc. into a powerful story in a voice that appeals to your audience while emphasizing your lane of genius. If we interview, we'll develop a sequence of thought-provoking questions to cover key points from multiple angles.
​
Next, DIY camera + lighting kits are shipped to you so you can put your best foot forward. Recording live through Riverside, we'll coach you on delivery every step of the way.
When we wrap, simply upload the footage to the cloud, then sit back and relax while we work our editing magic to craft your ideas into compelling narratives with simple motion graphics and stock video.

Strategy + On-location Production
Same process as remote production (including strategy), only in person with fancier gear and in-person interviews with beautiful, soft light. All you've got to do is show up!
To get to that next-level intimacy, we'll also film you interacting with sights and sounds on your home turf. This way, we can show - not just talk about - your ideas in action.
​
Then, we pack up and invest h.o.u.r.s. editing footage into a nuanced narrative with a look and feel that stays true to who you are - and resonates with your unique audience.
