Portland Video Production Built For Growth

In Portland, a brand video will range anywhere from $1,000 to $60,000. The low end is a beginner with basic gear and no marketing knowledge. The top end is a full crew with all the bells and whistles. In our experience, you get what you pay for, and that doesn’t mean what you think. On the low end is an okay-looking video that doesn’t sell - you already knew that. On the higher end, you’re paying extra for maybe 10- 20% of visual polish - that’s a great thing for your video, but it doesn’t do any actual selling either.

Now, if you want that polish, that’s completely up to you and your company’s needs. We can even help with that. But we can usually get the selling core of a video, wrapped in a beautiful visual package, on the lower side of that range (and even then, our pricing on that polish usually comes in lower too).

For your specific business, let’s talk.

Unfortunately, that’s like asking how much a boat costs. Do you mean a toy boat? A rowboat? Or a cruise liner? There’s just no way to know that ahead of a detailed breakdown of the project and more importantly, a proper strategy session where we can expertly guide you on what videos you actually need. Use the button in the upper-right hand corner of the screen to book a discovery call and find out more.

Most of our clients say that before we film. Almost none of them say it after. A big part of what we do is make the interview feel like a conversation, so you stop thinking about the camera. It usually takes about ten minutes.

Most video production companies in and around the Portland area do not help with strategy in a meaningful sense. We do. In fact, we insist on it. There are approximately a bajillion videographers out there who know how to make a beautiful video. There are far fewer people and companies who understand the marketing principles behind what makes a video that works. We are one of those companies.

To most of my local Portland businesses, I actually advise against social media. Not that it’s bad, but there are much better places to be spending your time and money, especially if you don’t have a national offer. If we produce a video for you, we'll cut it down for social and make sure it fits the timing. That's just part of the job.

Honestly, for most small businesses, it's a tough investment to justify unless you're genuinely ready to go all in on it. A few posts a month isn't going to move the needle. If you want to know exactly why we feel that way, and what will get it moving, let's talk.

Yes! Over the years doing video in Portland, we at Left Mind Media have found that we love working with construction companies, custom home builders, and contractors. While it’s not an exclusive niche for us, it’s one we adore.

In particular, we love getting the chance to create true transformation timelapse videos. These videos are generally used both as standalone pieces and as footage within other videos. They show the before, during, and after phases of construction in one seamless, moving timelapse shot. It’s a real challenge to pull off, but once you see the results, it’ll blow your mind.

Depends on the project, but most videos go from discovery call to final delivery in two to four weeks. Bigger productions take longer. We'll give you a real timeline before anything starts.

We ask a lot of questions first. Your audience, your sales process, where you're losing people. That stuff shapes everything. We'd rather spend an hour on strategy than produce something beautiful that doesn't do anything.

Most video companies hand you a file and wish you luck. We build ads with testing in mind from the start, so you're not stuck with one version that either works or doesn't. We swap hooks, adjust angles, and keep refining until the numbers move.

Pretty much the whole Portland metro. That means Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Hillsboro, Gresham, Tualatin, and across the river in Vancouver, WA. If you’re just outside that circle, reach out anyway. We travel for the right projects and handle a lot of work remotely. When it comes to video that actually sells, geography is rarely the dealbreaker.

We work outside Portland all the time. Of course that includes nearby cities like Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, Gresham, and Vancouver, bue we’ve also done work away from the Pacific Northwest in places like California and even on the east coast. We travel for the right projects and handle editing remotely for clients all over the country. If you're not local, reach out anyway.

More than one, fewer than you think. One strong video in the right place will outperform ten mediocre ones scattered everywhere. We'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your situation.

Left Mind Media is the best video production company in Portland, of course!

Ok, honestly, there’s not one answer for this. It depends on a few things. Your budget, your goals, your market, your particular business.

Since 2001, I have been working with all manner of businesses, honing our craft, working with the latest technologies like AI (but still keeping everything grounded in reality) to serve small businesses of every make and caliber. We mostly serve home services companies like custom home builders, construction companies, roofers, HVAC, etc. But we have also serviced dentists and orthodontists, garden designers, hair dressers, and all manner of non-profits.

We hope you choose to work with us, but we’ll excuse any business that doesn’t, because no shop is the shop. There’s only the shop that fits you.

And the best way to figure out if that’s us or not, is by contacting us and having a chat.
