Frequently asked questions about our STATE AGENCY video production services
Are you a registered state vendor?
Yes. We're registered in the Illinois Small Business Set-Aside Program (SBSP) and hold an active Illinois Procurement Gateway registration, IPG-0675728, under NIGP codes 905-05, 915-07, and 915-84. Your procurement office can verify us on the Gateway in about two minutes.
Can our agency hire you without a formal solicitation?
Often, yes. Most of our projects fall under the $20,000 small purchase threshold for professional and artistic services. Your procurement office makes that call, and we make the paperwork easy on our end either way.
What experience do you have with Illinois state agencies?
We produced a statewide PSA campaign for the Illinois Department of Public Health with the Ad Council, campaign work for the Illinois Helpline, recruitment video for the Teachers' Retirement System, and projects for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, UIS, EIU, and SIU Medicine. Government work is a core part of our practice, and it has been for years.
Where are you located?
Our headquarters is in Springfield, a few minutes from the Capitol. Shoots anywhere in Illinois are routine, and travel is scoped into the budget up front with no surprises.
What does video production cost?
The investment for most projects is $5,000 to $50,000+, depending on scope, and most of our work comes in under $20,000. We'll give you a real number after a discovery call, and we work hard to stay inside it. Our pricing guide breaks down what moves the number.
How far in advance should we book?
We typically book projects 3 to 6 weeks in advance, depending on the season. The best way to get the ball rolling is our very brief inquiry form.
Who owns the finished videos?
You do, outright. You'll receive final files and custom thumbnails through a secure download link, and we archive all raw footage for at least two years.
