THE WORK OF VIDEO PRODUCTION

YOU'VE GOT A
MESSAGE TO TELL.

Communicating it
is the hard part.

Plenty of businesses and organisations have a story worth telling: a brand to introduce, a community programme, a social campaign that should cut through, a cause people should know about. The video footage exists, or the budget does, but the result ends up flat, corporate, forgettable, not quite you.

The story was always there. It just needed someone who treats it like it matters. Because it does.

Every story deserves someone who treats it like one.

At Straydog Productions we’re backed by over 30 years of industry experience, telling stories through video production that challenge traditional narratives, amplify underrepresented voices, and encourage meaningful conversation.

WHAT WE DO AT STRAYDOG

GREAT VIDEOS BEGIN

with great stories.

Whether it’s social media content that stops the scroll, a polished corporate video, or the cinematic pull of a branded documentary, we’re here to make it happen. From the first spark of an idea to the final frame, we tell the story that matters most (yours), with authenticity, craft, and a real love for bringing videos to life.

01 — VIDEO DEVELOPMENT

WHERE THE STORY STARTS.

Come to us with an idea, or a blank page. We work with you to shape a story that reflects who you are and what your business is really about. Planning a series, maybe for social media? We find the through-line that ties it together, so a run of videos becomes one connected campaign that cuts through the clutter online.

02 — VIDEO PRODUCTION

WHERE IT COMES TO LIFE.

Whether you’ve been with us since development or
you’re bringing your own idea to life, we’ve got the
gear and the experience to make it. The meeting
point of creative and professional.

03 — POST-PRODUCTION

WHERE IT COMES TOGETHER.

Once filming wraps, the footage needs a deft hand
to become the finished product. A few cuts here
and there won’t make you stand out, this is where
we bring a vision for what your video can be.

VIDEO STORY TELLING TO
ENABLE UNDERSTANDING & build connection


WHO WE SERVE

CREATED FOR PEOPLE WITH
something real TO SAY.

We work best with businesses that put community and social impact at the centre of what they do: people who care about the story, not just the deliverable, and who’d rather their work felt true than templated. We’re at our best when the story matters as much to you as it does to us. If you’ve got something that matters, we should talk.

THE TEAM BEHIND IT

Straydog by name,

INSTINCTIVE BY NATURE.

Founded through the collaboration of a mother-and-son team, Straydog Productions is built on the belief that the strongest work comes from listening, asking the right questions, and bringing together people with different skills, experiences, and perspectives.

We seek out stories that build understanding, reflect genuine experiences, and connect audiences with the people and issues shaping our communities.

We believe powerful storytelling can inform, inspire, and create positive
change while delivering memorable results for our clients.

THE STRAYDOG APPROACH

ONE PRODUCTION
multiple stories.

We plan every production session around the bigger picture – capturing interviews, stories, supporting footage and campaign material that can be shaped into multiple pieces of content. Rather than starting from scratch every month, your content library grows throughout the year.

OUR PROCESS

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER looks like.

01
WE TALK IT THROUGH.

Once your enquiry lands, we set up a first meeting to get into the detail: budget, timeline, how many videos, length, style, and what you want the work to do.

02
WE PUT A PROPOSAL TOGETHER

We shape all of that into a clear project proposal. You give feedback and request any changes before you approve it.

03
WE DEVELOP THE STORY.

Once approved, we start on the scripts, with two rounds of review for your feedback and changes, then hand over the final script(s) and shot list, ready to shoot.

04
WE PRODUCE IT.

With everything locked in, we direct and film the work.

05
WE SHAPE & DELIVER.

In post-production we craft the footage into a polished, finished piece, again with two rounds of review, before final lock-off and delivery of your files in the formats you need.


Questions

BEFORE YOU

get in touch

DO I NEED AN IDEA FOR A VIDEO BEFORE ENQUIRING?

Not at all! We can come up with the video ideas for you, handling the entire project from the brainstorming and development phase all the way to delivering the final project.

Of course! We offer two opportunities for review and alterations during the development and writing phase of all projects, then another two during post-production.

It depends. The length, scale, content, and amount of videos will all influence how much it costs to produce. If you’re curious about our prices, send in an enquiry with some details about your project and we’ll respond ASAP with our options!

Yes! If you’re only looking for assistance with one part of the production pipeline, we’re more than happy to help! These will be charged on a daily, half-daily, or hourly rate depending on the scope of work. The only service we don’t offer own its own is the pre-production development and writing.
