Who sends us footage

Most builders already have the footage. A project manager films the framing on a phone, someone flies a drone over the lot on handover day, and a time-lapse camera has been clicking away on a fence post for six months. The clips end up on a drive and never become anything, because nobody in the office has the hours to sit with an editing timeline.

That gap is what we fill. Design-build firms send finished-project footage for their portfolio pages. Remodelers send before and after clips for social posts. General contractors send time-lapse frames to show a client or a lender what happened on site. Owners who are hiring send crew interviews for a careers page.

The craft underneath is the same each time: pick the strongest shots, put them in an order that makes sense to someone who wasn't there, clean up the sound, add captions and your branding, and export a version for every place the video will run.

What to send

A short brief saves a round of questions. A useful one covers:

  • A link to the footage: phone clips, drone files, time-lapse camera exports or a mix
  • The project in a sentence: what was built or remodeled, and roughly how long it took
  • Where the video will run: your website, YouTube, Instagram, a sales meeting, a recruiting page
  • Your logo, colors and any intro or outro you already use
  • Names and roles for anyone on camera, spelled the way they want them shown
  • The date you need it, and who approves the cut

Missing some of that? Send the footage link and a line about the goal. The quote will list anything we still need.

Where we work

Editing is remote, so the footage can come from any job site. We focus on builders and remodelers in Nashville, New Orleans and Pittsburgh and book calls in your local time.

Common questions

How much does a construction video cost?

It depends on how much footage there is, the finished length, how much sound cleanup, captioning and graphics the video needs, and how many revision rounds you want. We quote each job in writing after seeing the brief, so you know the cost before work starts.

Can you work with phone footage?

Yes. Most job-site footage is shot on phones. We stabilize shaky clips where we can, match color between cameras, and tell you up front if a shot is too dark or blurry to use.

Do you shoot the footage too?

No. We edit what you or your crew record. If you are planning a shoot, we can send a short shot list so the footage covers what the edit will need.

Are the images on this site real projects?

No. The sample images are AI-generated and the time-lapse drawings are illustrations made for this site. We don't publish client work without permission.
