Clear answers before the cameras arrive.

What corporate and industrial teams need to know about planning video, photography, drone, and timelapse production with Brandtales.

What teams ask before production.

Clear answers reduce delays, protect the operation, and keep every deliverable tied to a useful business outcome.
We create corporate films, industrial stories, executive communications, customer testimonials, recruitment and training content, industrial photography, drone imagery, and construction timelapse. Every engagement begins with the business outcome, not a predetermined deliverable.
No. Bring us the business challenge, audience, timing, and any known site requirements. We will help clarify the message and recommend the right visual approach. Our guide to planning a corporate video project explains what is useful to consider before production begins.
Look for relevant industry experience, a strong safety record, appropriate insurance, reliable production resources, and a process tied to business goals. For aerial work, confirm pilots are FAA Part 107 certified and experienced around industrial operations. See our guide to choosing a corporate and industrial production company.
Ideally, before the script or shoot schedule is finalized. Early involvement helps coordinate leadership calendars, subject-matter experts, site access, safety requirements, approvals, weather, travel, and deliverables without unnecessary delays. Our production planning guide outlines the sequence.
We work with subject-matter experts to identify the central truth, the audience, and the action the story should inspire. Then we translate technical detail into a clear narrative while preserving the credibility and nuance of the work. Learn more about the role of storytelling in business communication.
We align the story, build the production plan, capture the real work, and shape final deliverables. Depending on the project, that can include concepts, scripts, interview planning, schedules, shot lists, editing, graphics, sound, color, captions, and channel-ready versions. See the full corporate video production process.
Yes. We plan around site-specific hazards, PPE, access restrictions, operational schedules, security requirements, emergency procedures, and coordination with facility personnel. The production should fit the operation, not disrupt it. Read our field guide to a successful industrial shoot.
We treat interviews as guided conversations, not interrogations. We establish the goals, build rapport, and use an expected-answer framework to capture credible responses without making people sound scripted. Our guide to better customer and subject-matter interviews explains the approach.
Yes. We can plan a flagship film alongside shorter edits, social clips, presentation content, still imagery, captions, and reusable supporting footage. This extends the value across marketing, sales, recruiting, training, and internal communications. See how an ongoing video strategy compounds that value.
Yes. A coordinated production can capture facilities, infrastructure, technical processes, environmental portraits, executive interviews, detail imagery, and aerial perspectives. This improves consistency while making better use of site access and stakeholder time. Learn how coordinated production supports cost-effective visual storytelling.
Yes. Brandtales uses FAA Part 107-certified pilots with industrial-site experience. We evaluate airspace, weather, safety requirements, and facility restrictions, then integrate aerial footage with ground production and post-production when appropriate. Explore our industrial drone photography and video services.
We plan the viewpoint, deploy professional high-resolution cameras in weather-resistant enclosures, and manage capture throughout the project. Available systems can use solar power, cellular connectivity, and a secure viewing portal, followed by professional stabilization, color work, and final editing. Explore our construction timelapse service.
Yes. We support productions across multiple locations and international markets. Pre-production accounts for travel, local requirements, cultural context, language, access, and the need to maintain a consistent brand story across every site. Read why a trusted production team should be prepared to work globally.
Pricing depends on business goal, locations, production days, crew, equipment, access requirements, travel, post-production, and deliverables. After an initial conversation, we recommend a practical scope and quote designed around what the content needs to accomplish. Our article on cost-effective visual storytelling explains how planning improves value.
Schedule depends on scope, locations, stakeholder availability, approvals, and number of deliverables. After discovery, we provide a clear timeline covering pre-production, filming, post-production, review, and delivery. The typical sequence is covered in our production planning guide.
