Questions

How much does a video cost in Vitória?

It depends on shoot days, crew size, drone or car-rig work and post-production. Send your brief on WhatsApp and you get a fixed quote listing everything included.

Do you film with drones and FPV?

Yes. Aerials on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro and FPV flights on a Cinelifter carrying a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, flown by our in-house FPV pilot.

Do you make training videos and online courses?

Yes. Online courses, onboarding and safety training: a teaching script, filming, and an edit with graphics and subtitles, in Portuguese, English, French or Dutch.

Do you do live streaming?

Yes. We stream festivals, events and sport competitions, such as boxing nights, live.

How do you film moving cars?

With the MOVMAX Pro car rig: the camera is mounted on the car and operated from inside the vehicle, for car-to-car and road shots like the big commercials.

Do you work in English?

Yes. We work in English, French or Dutch, and the local crew speaks Portuguese. Films can be delivered with Portuguese, English, French or Dutch subtitles.

Do you only film, or also run the campaign?

Both. Strategy, script, filming, editing, publishing and paid ads on Meta, YouTube and Google, plus SEO and GEO so the film shows up on Google and in AI answers. Book one part or the full package.

Yes, as a production partner: directing, filming and post-production for agencies in Vitória, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
