Brand Video Production in San Francisco.

A brand video tells the story of your company — who you are, what you stand for, the people behind it. A commercial sells a specific product or campaign against a specific deadline. Both use the same production craft, but the creative direction and intent are different. We produce both, often in the same engagement.

Brand films at STMNT typically run $15K to $50K and up depending on scope, location, and talent. A 1-minute brand spot like the Really ad sits toward the middle of that range. We scope after discovery and send a detailed estimate inside 48 hours.

For the brand hero film, 60 to 90 seconds usually wins. For social and paid cuts, :15 and :30 edits land harder. We typically shoot once and deliver a suite of durations from the same footage, so the brand video pulls double duty across your channels.

Four to eight weeks is typical: a week or two of pre-production, one to three shoot days, and two to four weeks of post. For campaign deadlines we can compress this meaningfully with more crew on the project.

No. Scripting is part of pre-production. Bring us your brand deck, a rough idea of what you want the video to accomplish, and any must-include moments — we handle the rest and send drafts for your in-house team to approve.
