  • 5. How long does a video project usually take to complete?

    The timeline depends on the scope:

    A short promo or testimonial video (1–3 minutes) might take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery.

    More complex work (animation, multiple locations, large scale) can take 8–12 weeks or more.

    We’ll provide a proposed timeline when scoping your project so expectations are clear upfront.

  • 6. What is the cost of your video services?

    Every project is different, so we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all price. Costs depend on:

    - Duration and complexity

    - On-site shoots (locations, crew, travel)

    - Animation or motion graphics

    - Number of revision rounds

    - Licensing (music, stock footage)

    - Deliverable formats

    In our free consultation, we’ll discuss your budget and then create a custom proposal with pricing option

  • 7. Can you work with small/nonprofit budgets?

    Yes — we understand tight budgets are common in the nonprofit and ministry world. We’re open to discussing scaled-down packages, phased projects, or prioritizing the most critical elements first. Our goal is to make high-quality video accessible for mission-driven work.

  • 8. Do you handle distribution, promotion, or video marketing?

    We focus primarily on production, not marketing execution. However, we can advise on best practices for distributing your video (uploading formats, YouTube/streaming optimization, embedding on websites, social cuts, etc.). If needed, we can partner with your marketing team or external marketers for full campaign work.

  • 9. Do you provide scripts or help with messaging?

    Yes — we often assist with concepting, scripting, and message refining to help your video clearly communicate your mission. If you have existing scripts or messaging, we’re happy to adapt or build upon them.

  • 10. What makes Bannerlight Films different from other video production companies?

    Some of our differentiators:

    - Deep experience with mission-driven, faith-based, and nonprofit clients

    - Attention to message clarity and storytelling, not just aesthetics

    - Integration of motion graphics/animation to elevate concepts

    - Flexibility and willingness to work within budget constraints

    - Collaborative, communicative process (you’re involved each step)

    We see our work as partnering with you, not just executing a service.

  • 11. What is required from me (the client)?

    To ensure a smooth process, we’ll need your:

    - Core message, vision, and target audience

    - Brand assets (logos, fonts, style guides, color palette)

    - Any relevant photos, testimonials, prior videos

    - Input/feedback in review stages

    - Logistical support (access to locations, scheduling, permissions)

    We’ll clearly define all deliverables and responsibilities in our agreement.
