What to bring to the brief
Bring an approved location, a person who can explain the work and permission to film. Capture a wide view, the working detail and the finished result; record the interview somewhere the words are easy to hear.
As a video production company serving Portland, our team helps business owners turn real work into useful videos for their website, social accounts and advertising.
Send the shoot location, number of job sites, preferred dates, people available on camera and where the finished videos will run. Travel, sound, access and editing requirements shape the quote.


Your people.
Your process.
Your point of view.
Start with the service you want to sell and the evidence a customer needs to choose you. We plan the interview, filming permissions, travel and production schedule before the shoot. Editing scope and the delivery calendar are agreed in the proposal.
St. Johns, Sellwood-Moreland and Montavilla offer specific starting points for a Portland content brief. The first decision is which part of the city matches the customers and projects your business wants to feature.
Choose Portland neighborhoods, the westside or Vancouver, Washington as a practical starting territory. Cluster a Beaverton or Hillsboro shoot on the westside instead of assuming an interview in Portland and a Vancouver job fit easily into the same day. Prepare covered footage and a quiet indoor interview for wet conditions.
Explain the service footprint on both sides of the Columbia if the business actually works there. A Portland homeowner story and a Vancouver service offer should retain their own location and scope.

Build a St. Johns shoot around the business or property doing the work. A recognizable place name helps orient the viewer, but the useful part of the film is the owner’s explanation and the detail of the job.
Choose a base for the interview and identify the project footage available nearby. If another stop is in a different part of Portland, decide what it adds before putting it on the same shoot schedule.

Agree where the film will be used before choosing its length and framing. A website explanation and a short social introduction can share source footage while answering different questions.
Proposed approach, not a completed client project. We build the final brief around your real work and agreed coverage.
An owner can explain what happens during an estimate while the camera records the inspection, preparation and finished work. That story can become a website introduction, a longer explanation and short social clips. The footage comes from your business, with customer permission.
For the next step, connect the real project footage to a clear inquiry page and a response process your team can support.
Judge the finished work against the brief first: clear explanation, usable audio and the agreed formats. When you distribute it, review available watch time, website visits and inquiries separately. A video view is not a booked job.
Views, leads and confirmed sales tell different parts of the story. Available reporting depends on account access and setup. Complete customer attribution and AI call handling remain in development.

A video view is not a booked job. Capture city and state when an inquiry may cross the Columbia. Confirm the business’s accepted service territory before sending a Vancouver request into a Portland-only appointment schedule.
Answer a few questions about your business, then choose a time to discuss your video production plan.
Agency fees and advertising spend are agreed separately. We confirm scope, coverage and delivery before work starts.
