What is corporate video production?
Corporate video production is the strategy, planning, filming, editing and delivery of video made for business communication. It covers the videos a company uses to explain what it does, win customer trust, recruit and train staff, support the sales team, launch products and give executives a public voice.
There is no single corporate video. A homepage brand film, a customer testimonial, a recruitment film, a product demo and an executive podcast each need a different message, interview structure, crew and delivery plan. We start from the business goal, then choose the format, the shoot plan and the set of deliverables that gets you there.
- One team from the first call to final delivery
- Our own cinema camera, lighting and sound package
- Built around executive calendars, not ours
- Raw footage delivered graded, at no extra cost
- One shoot day planned to produce several assets
- Filming in hospitals, campuses, plants and secure offices
Most companies begin with a testimonial video or a brand video, then add recruitment and training content once the first one earns its keep. If you would rather see the working method first, read how we work.

Higher education
Admissions campaigns, alumni stories, department films and fundraising content across a campus.

How much does corporate video production cost?
Corporate video production with 7 Hills Productions runs from $6,000 for a single location interview or internal update to $14,000 to $50,000 for brand films, recruitment campaigns and multi location work. What moves the number is filming days, crew size, custom graphics and how many finished videos come out of the shoot. Filming several videos in one day is the cheapest way to add them.
| Corporate video type | Typical range | What it usually covers |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate or interview video | $6,000 to $15,000 | One location, one filming day, one main edit |
| Training or internal video | $6,000 to $25,000 | One or more presenters, repeatable setup, module edits |
| Customer testimonial | $3,500 to $15,000 | Interview, B roll, case study edit and social cutdowns |
| Recruitment or culture video | $9,000 to $35,000 | Several interviews, workplace B roll, department versions |
| Video podcast series | $9,000 to $25,000 | Multi camera set, recurring episodes, clip packages |
| Product video | $6,000 to $25,000 | Studio or on location, demo edit, feature cutdowns |
| Event and trade show | $9,000 to $35,000+ | Multi camera coverage, keynote capture, recap film |
| Brand story film | $9,000 to $35,000 | Cinematic B roll, one to two interviews, hero film plus cutdowns |
| Commercial or video ad | $9,000 to $50,000+ | Concept development, cast and crew, broadcast and paid social versions |
- DaysHow many filming days the schedule really needs, and how far the crew travels to them.
- Crew and kitA two person interview team or a full unit with a director, second camera and grip package.
- FinishCustom graphics, animation, licensed music, subtitles and color work all sit in the edit.
- DeliverablesEach finished video is priced on its own, so four edits cost more than one, and far less than four shoots.

What the corporate video production process looks like
Three stages, one team, and a schedule built around your executives rather than ours. Most corporate projects run two to four weeks from kickoff to delivery; brand films and multi location campaigns run six to eight.
-
PlanWe agree the business goal, the audience and the list of finished videos. Then we write the interview questions, build the shot list, book the locations and lock a schedule that works around the people who have to be on camera. -
FilmOur own cinema cameras, lighting and sound arrive with the crew. A single well planned day captures the interviews, the B roll and the vertical framing for social, so one shoot feeds several videos instead of one. -
Edit and deliverStory edit, color, graphics, music and mix, with revision rounds built in. You get the master, the cutdowns, the vertical versions and the raw footage, already graded, at no extra cost.
The full breakdown, including what your team has to prepare at each stage, is in the corporate video production process guide.
Corporate video production across Southern California and nationwide
We are headquartered in Irvine with home bases in Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego, which is where most corporate shoots happen. For companies with offices elsewhere we travel, or book local crew with our own producer and director running the day, so a multi city campaign still looks like it was made by one team.

What corporate clients say about working with us
Corporate work is judged on more than the final cut. It is judged on whether the crew handled a busy executive, a live hospital floor or a campus schedule without creating a problem.
7 Hills Productions went above and beyond in terms of quality, professionalism, responsiveness, and timeliness. They captured our vision perfectly.
They impressed us with prompt responses, ensuring we met all filming objectives without missing a beat. The quality fully met my expectations.
They did an amazing job providing a great product. Very easy to work with, we decided to keep working with them for a year-long campaign.

Corporate video production FAQs
Clear answers for the marketing leaders, founders and HR teams who usually run this decision.
What is included in corporate video production?
Everything from the first planning call to the delivered files. Pre-production covers messaging, interview questions, shot lists, locations, scheduling and permits. Production brings the director, cinematographer, lighting and sound, and our own cinema camera package. Post-production covers the story edit, color grading, motion graphics, music, mix, subtitles and the social cutdowns. Raw footage is delivered graded at no extra cost.
How much does corporate video production cost?
A single location corporate or interview video is $6,000 to $15,000. Recruitment and culture videos run $9,000 to $35,000, brand story films $14,000 to $35,000, and commercials or multi location campaigns $14,000 to $50,000 and up. A single customer testimonial filmed in a half day starts at $3,500.
Every quote is built from the same three parts: pre-production from $500, a full production day at $6,000 to $8,000, and editing at $2,000 to $4,000 per finished video. The budget estimator gives you the same range in about two minutes.
How long does corporate video production take?
Interview based and event videos usually take two to four weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Brand films and multi asset recruitment campaigns take six to eight weeks, mostly to allow for pre-production and stakeholder review rounds. Our average across all projects is 28 days. If you have a hard deadline, say so on the first call and we will plan the shoot date backwards from it.
Can one shoot day produce more than one video?
Yes, and it is the single best way to lower cost per video. We plan every production day to capture several pieces of content: a hero story, separate interview cuts, B roll, and vertical framing for social. Because editing is priced per finished video, a company that films four testimonials in one day pays for one shoot and four edits rather than four shoots.
What is the difference between a corporate video and a brand video?
Corporate video is the umbrella term for any video a business makes to communicate, including training, recruiting, internal updates and customer proof. A brand video is one specific type of corporate video, focused entirely on what the company stands for and how it wants to be understood in its market. Most companies need both, but rarely at the same time.
Do you help with scripting and interview questions?
Yes. For explainers and commercials we write the script with you. For executive and testimonial videos we use a guided interview approach instead: we write questions designed to get natural answers, and we do not put anyone in front of a teleprompter unless the content genuinely needs one.
What should we prepare before filming?
The business goal, the audience, a realistic timeline and your brand guidelines. Internally, the useful work is deciding who goes on camera and clearing their calendars. We handle interview questions, shot lists, location logistics, call sheets and the technical side.
Do you film in hospitals, secure offices and industrial sites?
Regularly. We film in active hospitals and clinics, on university campuses, in secure finance and technology offices and on manufacturing floors. That means working to HIPAA considerations and patient privacy, site safety inductions, badge and escort rules, and filming without stopping the work going on around us.
Who owns the footage and the finished videos?
You do. You receive the finished masters, the cutdowns, the vertical versions and the raw footage, already color corrected, at no extra cost. There is no ongoing license fee to keep using your own video, and no retainer is required to start.
Where should corporate videos be published?
A corporate video earns its budget when it works in more than one place: the website and landing pages, LinkedIn and YouTube, sales decks and email outreach, recruiting campaigns and job posts, onboarding platforms, trade show screens and investor updates. We deliver the aspect ratios and cutdowns each of those needs as part of the edit.
