“How much does a video cost?” is one of the most common questions we hear, and it is a fair one.

The challenge is that answering this question is pretty much impossible unless we know just about every detail about the scope.

If you have never produced a professional brand video before, one of the first questions you will ask is simple: how long does this actually take?

Clients often assume the timeline is driven almost entirely by the shoot day. In reality, filming is just one part of a much larger process. A strong brand video is built through planning, clarity, and post-production, not speed.

High-quality interviews are one of the most important – and most misunderstood – parts of video production. A great interview isn’t just about asking good questions. It depends on experienced crew, controlled lighting, clean audio, and a camera setup that gives editors flexibility in post.

At Bunker Hill Media, interviews are a core part of our work. We capture interviews as part of our own branded content and corporate productions, and we’re also regularly hired as a Boston-based interview crew by agencies, production companies, and brands coming in from out of town.

Whether you need a single sit-down or a full day of interviews, we bring a professional, broadcast-ready setup and a crew that knows how to deliver consistent results.

When Boston businesses decide to invest in video for the first time, the intention is almost always right. They want stronger marketing, clearer messaging, and content that represents their brand professionally.

Where things often go wrong is not execution - it’s strategy.

Over the past year, Bunker Hill Media worked across a wide range of video production projects for brands, organizations, and businesses throughout Boston and New England. Our focus remained consistent: producing clear, well-structured, documentary-style video content that helps brands communicate who they are and what they do.

If you're planning to film interviews in Boston - whether it's for a corporate brand story, nonprofit campaign, executive message, testimonial, or documentary-style content - you essentially have two options:

1. Fly your own production crew in
2. Hire a trusted Boston-based interview crew

And while flying a team might feel familiar or “safer,” in 2025 it’s almost always less efficient, more expensive, and riskier than partnering with a professional local crew that specializes in interview-driven video production.

Boston is one of the most competitive business landscapes in the country - full of tech innovators, hospitals, universities, small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and everything in between. And no matter what industry you're in, video has become the single most effective way to communicate your story, build trust, and stand out.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t need every type of video under the sun.

If you’ve never worked with a video production company before, the process can feel a little daunting. How do you get prepared? How do you know that final product will actually be what you want? What actually happens before the cameras show up? What does a shoot day look like? And how long does it take to get a finished video?

As a Boston video production company filming brand stories, testimonials, corporate videos, and website content all over the city, and country really…, we run through this workflow constantly. And because Bunker Hill Media is a tight, two-person creative team, our process is efficient, collaborative, and incredibly intentional.

If you’re reading this, that means you probably have a video shoot coming up - hopefully with us! How exciting! Before we jump in, the most important piece of advice that I can tell you is that prepping your office for a shoot will probably take a little work on you and your teams end and you should never assume that the video production team can just “avoid certain things”.

There’s a big difference between a video that simply exists… and a video that’s actually good.

And in a world where every business in Boston is posting content faster than ever, that difference matters.

A strong website video does more heavy lifting than most businesses realize. It sets the tone for your brand, shapes a first impression in seconds, and keeps visitors on your site long enough to understand who you are and why you matter. And in 2025, when online attention spans keep shrinking, a great website video has become one of the most effective ways for Boston businesses to stand out.

For startups, video is often the single most effective marketing and communications tool. But, it’s also the one that many founders feel least prepared to tackle. With limited resources, evolving products, and small teams, it can feel overwhelming to think about producing a video that’s both polished and effective.

The good news? You don’t need a Fortune 500 budget or a full in-house media team to produce video content that builds credibility, converts viewers, and drives growth. This guide walks early-stage startups through everything from planning and strategy to production and repurposing, so your video works as hard as your team does.

How much does a corporate video actually cost?

If you’ve tried to Google it, you’ve probably noticed that every answer is frustratingly vague. “It depends on the scope,” “every project is different,” “we’d love to chat about your needs”… Sound familiar?

The truth is, yes, it depends but that doesn’t mean we can’t pull back the curtain and show you what typical Boston corporate video production costs look like in 2025.

At Bunker Hill Media, we believe in transparency. So here’s a real breakdown of what goes into the cost of a professional video, what affects pricing, and how to think about your investment.

We’ve officially added a new piece of gear to the Bunker Hill Media lineup… and this one flies.

After years of pushing our aerial footage with earlier DJI drones, we finally made the upgrade to the DJI Mavic 3 Pro and we’re obsessed. This drone isn’t just another tool in the kit; it’s a creative powerhouse that’s already changing the way we approach our shoots across Boston and beyond.

Whether it’s capturing images of a waste water treatment plant from the sky, establishing a sweeping shot for a corporate brand film of the Boston skyline, or adding that perfect cinematic reveal in post, this drone gives us a new level of flexibility and image quality we’ve been craving.

Congratulations! You’ve recorded your podcast episode. Whether it’s your first or your fiftieth, getting that content out into the world is what really counts.

In this guide, we’ll walk through everything you need to do to host, publish, and distribute your podcast, making sure it’s not just recorded – but truly live, discoverable, and ready to grow your audience. Think of this as your roadmap from “episode completed” to “episode live.”

When it comes to corporate video production, having a reliable two-camera setup can be the difference between a simple talking-head video and a polished, cinematic interview that feels like a brand film.

At Bunker Hill Media, we shoot interviews every week for corporate clients, brand stories, testimonials, and a whole bunch of other types of video. What I can tell you is our go-to setup has been the Sony FX6 and Sony FX3. These two cameras are a dream team: cinematic quality, reliable autofocus, matching color science, and easy workflow integration.

Here’s exactly how we build our two-camera setup for professional interviews, plus a few tips to help your next dual camera video shoot look its absolute best.

Last week, we kicked off one of our favorite kinds of projects - a brand story production that blends interviews, b-roll, and a strong narrative to tell a company’s story in an authentic way.

This time, our partner is EESSCO, a Massachusetts-based company specializing in equipment solutions for the aggregate and material handling industry. We’re producing a suite of video and photo content for their brand new website launch, and after wrapping our first shoot day, we couldn’t wait to share a few behind-the-scenes moments.
