What We Do

That’s one of the most common questions we get at Impact Stories, and it’s a great one.

Here’s the thing: video production isn’t one-size-fits-all. Just like every brand has its own voice and vision, every project has different needs. Some videos require a single day of shooting with a lean crew. Others call for multiple shoot days, custom locations, casting, motion graphics, or advanced editing. The cost depends on the story we’re telling, and how we bring it to life.

We don’t sell templates. We craft custom, story-first videos that fit your goals, audience, and message. But we can absolutely give you a range to help you plan ahead.

A Note on Budgets

We get it—sometimes it feels risky to share your budget upfront. But here’s the truth: knowing your ballpark helps us recommend a solution that actually fits. We’re not trying to upsell you—we’re trying to save you time and build something that works. If your budget’s too tight for a full production, we’ll tell you honestly and offer an alternative approach.

Let’s Talk About Your Story

If you’re curious about what it would take to bring your brand’s story to life on video, let’s talk. No pressure, no pitch—just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.

When Should You Invest in Video Production? 

Before investing in video, ask yourself:
Are you looking to tell a story that drives results—or just looking for something that looks cool?

At Impact Stories, we don’t just make videos—we craft tools that help businesses connect, convert, and grow. So instead of asking “How much does it cost?” start by asking “What will this video do for us over the next year or two?”

Because here’s the truth:

• Businesses that use video in their marketing see higher engagement and longer time on site, both of which support conversions. 

• Nearly 90% of marketers say video gives them a strong return on investment, especially when it’s integrated into sales and follow-up funnels. 

• People are more likely to trust a business after seeing the people behind it on camera—brand videos increase trust and relatability, which are key to long-term loyalty.

And yet, one of the most common frustrations we hear is, “We made a great video, but no one saw it.”
That’s a planning issue—not a creative one.

If you tell us how you plan to use your video from the start—on your website, in sales decks, internally, or for local discovery—we can shoot and structure it accordingly.

Also, if you’re a local business, optimizing your video for search can help you show up right when your audience is looking for you. It’s one of the most underrated wins in video marketing.

How to Save Money on Video Production

(Without Compromising Quality)

We get it—video can be a big investment. But there are smart ways to get the most value without breaking the bank:

1. Come Prepared.
The more clarity you have going in—story ideas, messaging, shot list—the smoother the process. Even a rough draft helps us focus on execution, not guesswork.

2. Use What You’ve Got.
Your office might be the perfect backdrop. Filming on-location saves you money on rentals and makes your video more authentic. (Plus, no one’s charging you extra if the shoot runs long.)

3. Streamline Feedback.
Assign one point person from your team to handle all review rounds. This avoids back-and-forth and keeps momentum high. Quicker feedback = lower costs = faster delivery.

4. Lock the Edit Faster.
The longer a project stays open, the more it costs—because your editor, project manager, and storage are all still tied up. The best way to save? Be decisive, communicate clearly, and trust the process.
