We only deliver the finished, edited videos and don't include raw footage or project files. This is standard across the video production industry. It's just not common for producers and creators to offer raw footage with the final deliverable. Raw footage includes unedited takes, mistakes, and incomplete sequences that don't reflect the final product and it's a big part of our creative work and intellectual property, so keeping that in house lets us maintain quality over the final content. Our actors also sign agreements that only cover use of their likeness in the finished videos we produce, not raw footage.

If you ever need updates or revisions, we archive our projects, so we can go back and re-edit from there (a small fee may apply for unarchiving). And if raw footage or project files are something you truly need, that would fall under a full buyout agreement, which includes the rights and licensing.

Happy to walk through what that would look like if it's something you want to explore. Otherwise, we'll move forward with delivering the finished, edited video as planned.

We do not film extra footage beyond the approved script, so all captured content is aligned with what’s needed for the final video.

We don't provide raw footage or project files for several important reasons, all rooted in maintaining quality, protecting intellectual property, and honoring actor agreements. Raw footage often includes unedited takes, errors, or incomplete sequences that don’t reflect the polished final product. By delivering only final videos, we ensure that what represents your brand is high quality, consistent, and professionally edited to match the intended vision. The raw footage also forms a large part of our creative intellectual property. Releasing it means losing control over how the work could be edited or reused, which opens the door to misuse or misrepresentation. Additionally, our actors work under agreements that only grant permission for use of their likeness in the finished video. Raw footage may include alternate takes or behind-the-scenes content that actors haven’t consented to distribute, which could compromise their privacy and professional image. Ultimately, by not releasing raw assets, we protect the integrity of the work, respect actor rights, and ensure the final content aligns with your goals and our production standards.
