Goodsides provides a full spectrum of cinematic video production services tailored to your unique needs. We specialize in short-form content (social media stories, PSAs), impactful commercials, live action and animated explainer videos, promotional content, live event coverage, and even emerging formats like spatial video. Our team offers expertise in every stage of production, from concept development and scriptwriting to filming, editing, and sound design.
What if we don't know how to get started?
Chevron down
Don't worry, getting started with video production doesn't have to be overwhelming! Goodsides offers expert guidance every step of the way. We'll begin with a thorough consultation to understand your goals, target audience, and the message you want to convey. We can even schedule a location scout to assess your ideal filming environment. Based on this, we'll develop a custom treatment outlining your project, complete with a storyboard, production timeline, and transparent quote.
What can I expect from the video production process?
Chevron down
Understanding the video production process can seem daunting, but we'll guide you through it! The journey starts with pre-production, where we collaborate on script development, storyboarding, and overall concept creation. Next comes production, where we handle filming on location or in-studio, capturing high-quality footage with professional equipment. Finally, in post production, we meticulously edit your video, integrating elements like music, sound design, motion graphics, and even visual effects to polish the final product. While timelines vary based on project complexity, expect a standard 3-5 minute video to require around 116 hours to complete across all production stages.
What sets Goodsides apart from other video production companies?
Chevron down
Goodsides stands apart from other video production companies with our distinctive blend of hands-on leadership, cinematic quality, and budget-conscious approach. Unlike many agencies, our founders are actively involved in every project, ensuring your vision is realized. We prioritize high-resolution filming (5.8K and above) for stunning visuals, and our in-house equipment arsenal reduces production costs, passing those savings directly to you.
What if I’m not comfortable speaking on camera?
