On-Site Production Retainer
We come to your space, operate your gear, direct the recording, and capture BTS so you focus on what you came to say. Built for thought leadership clients who want polished content without learning production.
How We Work
Six steps that make every shoot day predictable. You show up ready to record, we run the room.
A 30 minute call before each session to align on topics, guests, and goals. No wasted shoot time figuring out what you are recording that day.
A producer arrives ready to direct the recording. We keep pacing tight, prompt fresh takes, and protect the energy in the room.
A videographer operates your studio gear, frames every shot, and captures BTS photo and video for social and marketing use later.
Each session runs 4 hours of recording time on-site, plus prep and wrap. Most clients capture 3 to 6 episodes worth of content per block.
Raw footage, audio, and BTS handed off to you within 48 hours of the shoot. Ready for your editor or for an editing add-on with us.
Same producer, same videographer, same calendar slot. The team learns your brand and the cadence keeps content flowing without restart cost.
