Video production services that give your story a clear shape.
Turn a product explanation, an interview, or a launch idea into video your audience can follow. WebXd helps shape the brief, develop the creative, and plan the finished assets around where they will be seen.
Let the story choose the format.
Start with what the viewer needs to understand. A person explaining their experience calls for different material than a product demonstration or an abstract process. The production approach should support that message and fit the material you can realistically supply.
Show a person or a place
Interviews and filmed sequences can put an organization story in context. Before planning a shoot, identify who can participate and which locations are available. Access, sound conditions and participant permissions help determine what can be captured.
Explain an idea or a process
An explainer video can combine a script with motion graphics, screen recordings, or illustration. We map the explanation into scenes so each visual adds information. Use this approach when showing the actual process would be difficult or distracting.
Make more of existing material
Video editing can turn supplied footage into a focused piece with titles and supporting graphics. We review the files first, including their picture quality and audio. Gaps in coverage may call for a simpler story, additional recording, or a different creative treatment.
Plan the other edits while the story is still open.
A website introduction and a short social video give viewers different amounts of context. Plan their roles together before filming or animation begins. That makes room for alternate openings and compositions, rather than treating every placement as a crop of the finished film.
In the fictional DAYMARK example, the main film introduces a desk light through a simple demonstration. A shorter vertical edit concentrates on the adjustment, while a still frame introduces the product on a landing page. Each asset draws from the same visual idea but has its own opening and ending.
- 01 / SituationIntroduce the desk and the task.
- 02 / ProductShow the light in its setting.
- 03 / DemonstrationMake the adjustment visible.
- 04 / InvitationEnd with one useful next step.
Assets planned in this illustrative brief
| Asset | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Website introduction | Landscape / 16:9 | A complete explanation with room for context. |
| Social cutdown | Vertical / 9:16 | A new opening and reframed product detail. |
| Poster and stills | Placement-specific | A clear entry point before playback. |
Give each review a specific job.
A useful review asks for decisions that belong to the stage you are seeing. We define the review rounds and a person who can consolidate feedback in the project scope. Comments tied to a scene or timecode are easier to act on than conflicting notes spread across email threads.
Approve the message and visual direction
Review the script, storyboard and planned asset list. Check the factual details with the people responsible for them. This is the time to change the central message or add a scene before recording and animation make those changes more involved.
Review the sequence and pacing
Look at whether the story is understandable and the right material is included. Early cuts may use temporary audio or unfinished graphics. Consolidate structural feedback here so the final polish builds on a sequence everyone has approved.
Check the finished versions
Review titles, names and product details alongside the final sound and picture. Check captions against the actual audio, then view each version in its intended proportions. A delivery checklist makes approval specific to the files your team will receive.
Make the message available beyond the soundtrack.
Captions convey speech and meaningful sounds for people who cannot hear the audio. A transcript offers another way to use the information. Plan these assets with the script, and discuss how important visual details will be described when they are needed to understand the video.
We include the agreed accessibility work in the production scope and review automatic captions for accuracy before delivery. The publishing environment matters too. Your website team needs a player that supports the required features, along with readable text alternatives and a useful poster image.
Describe the delivery before asking for the estimate.
The length of the finished video is only part of the scope. Filming locations, animation complexity and the quality of supplied material affect the work. So do the number of versions and the review schedule. We use these details to define an estimate around the actual production.
Bring the placements and deadline, even if the creative idea is still taking shape. We can discuss which assets belong in the first delivery and which can follow later. Agree what happens if the brief changes after approval, especially when new scenes or recording are needed.
Confirm these items in the brief
- Message, audience and intended next step
- Filming, animation or supplied-footage requirements
- Master edit, cutdowns, proportions and languages
- Captions, transcript and any described version
- Export formats, poster images and file naming
- Music, stock and participant permissions for intended use
- Review rounds, decision owner and delivery dates
- Source project files and arrangements for future edits
Questions before the first scene.
Can you work with footage we already have?
Yes, supplied footage can be part of the brief. Share original files and any information about how they were recorded. We review whether the material supports the intended story and discuss gaps before defining the edit.
How long does video production take?
Timing depends on the agreed creative approach and deliverables. Participant availability, location access and approval turnaround can affect the schedule. Share a fixed launch date early so the plan accounts for review and export checks as well as production.
How much will the project cost?
An estimate needs more than a target runtime. A short piece with custom animation can involve different work from a longer interview edit. The brief should identify recording needs, creative complexity and required versions so the proposal explains what the price covers.
Will we receive editable project files?
Define source-file delivery in the agreement before production starts. Specify the project files and linked assets your team expects to receive, plus any software dependencies. Some third-party assets have separate usage terms that affect future edits and reuse.
Does production include publishing or running ads?
Publishing and campaign management need their own scope. Video production defines the creative assets and exports for agreed placements. If you need ongoing social publishing or paid distribution, include that goal in the conversation so responsibilities and reporting are clear.
