FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
Where is Video Shop located?
We are based in Middle Tennessee and film across Nashville and the surrounding area every week, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill, Columbia and Hendersonville. We also travel anywhere in the US, and animated explainers are produced fully remotely.
What kinds of videos do you make?
Brand films and corporate video, animated explainers, event recaps, social and marketing video, drone and aerial photography and video, and healthcare video.
How much does a video cost?
Most professionally produced business videos land between $3,000 and $25,000, depending on the type and scope. Our video production cost guide lays out typical 2026 ranges. We send a cost estimate with the concept before any work begins.
How long does a project take?
Most projects take four to eight weeks from the first meeting to the final film. Event recaps move faster, and short social cuts can be ready within days.
Do you work with clients outside Tennessee?
Yes. We travel for shoots nationwide, and explainers are made fully remotely with reviews over video calls and shared links.
Do you write the script and concept?
Yes. We write the concept for every project and the script or interview plan, and you approve them before production starts.
What do you need from us?
A clear goal, one point person, access to the people and places that tell your story, and timely feedback. Our free Story Starter walks you through the big questions.
How do revisions work?
We share the work at key stages and build time for your feedback into the schedule, so revisions are part of the plan rather than a surprise.
Is your drone pilot certified?
Yes. All aerial work is flown by our FAA Part 107 certified pilot, and we check airspace and request FAA authorization where needed.
Can one shoot produce more than one video?
Yes. We plan shoots so the same footage can become a main film, shorter cuts for social, recruiting pieces and stills.
Do you deliver vertical video for social?
Yes. We deliver 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 versions, framed for each format on purpose.
Can we start without committing to anything?
Yes. The free Story Starter is the set of questions we ask before every project. Keep your answers, or send them to us for honest feedback. No pitch.
